Sony Reveals The Xperia S And Xperia Ion!

Sony showed off 2 new Android phones yesterday, one being the 4.3inch sexy Xperia S (image on the left) and the other slightly larger 4.65inch Xperia Ion, other than that, internally both devices are pretty much the same.

I’m glad to see Sony finally catching up with the times, not quite there yet, but certainly catching up. Both devices feature a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, a whopping 12 megapixel Exmor R camera and a 720p Reality screen. I’m not too sure about the number of megapixels, 12 seems a bit too much for a phone camera but I’m sure Sony will surprise us somehow, the Exmor R camera on the Arc did perform quite well, so fingers crossed for this one.
