The Xperia ION is one of the most anticipated handsets in the Sony line-up and while it has not been officially released in the Philippines, we've managed to borrow a review unit. Check out our unboxing photos and first impressions after the jump. The Xperia Ion's claim to fame is that it's LTE capable with speeds of up to 100Mbps download and 50Mbps upload. Of all the Sony handsets we've tried this year, the Xperia ION is the biggest yet in terms of display size. The 4.55-inch LCD screen has a 720p resolution or 1280x720 pixels giving it a nice Retina Display-like density of 323ppi. We were actually hoping for more than just LTE but it turns out the Xperia ION still has a SnapDragon S3 processor, the same one they used in the Xperia S. The almost-unibody design is pretty solid, has a noticeable heft to it due to the metallic construction. The handset also boasts of a massive 12-megapixel camera, just like the Xperia S.
