Sony Xperia ion coming to Canada this Summer

By on June 14, 2012 at 4:33pm in Featured, Mobile News


Good news for all the Sony lovers out there! We’ve been informed that the LTE-enabled Sony Xperia ion is coming to Canada and will officially be available this Summer. Exact date is still unknown and so is the carrier, but since it’s an LTE device it’ll hit either Rogers, Bell or TELUS… I’m thinking Rogers, but that’s unconfirmed.

The Xperia ion is PlayStation Certified and was first announced at CES this year and will be an exclusive release by AT&T in the States on June 24th. The ion is a big device for Sony, not just with hopes of being their first LTE device, but in size. The display is 4.6-inches and has a resolution of 1280 X 720, runs OS 2.3 Gingerbread and hopefully when it launches in Canada will be bumped up to OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 12MP camera that snaps pics within 1.5 seconds and records 1080p HD videos, front-facing camera that shoots in 720p, HDMI, DLNA and bundled up with a 1900 mAh battery.

In addition, unlike the Xperia S release, the ion will be sold through the carrier retail locations and not just at the Sony Store.

We’ll have more info about this launch soon…
(Thanks tipster!)

  1. Cool. The Xperia line is, IMO, the nicest looking bunch of Smartphones out there.

  5. With xerpia miro announced, I like both their phones and OS design but I seriously thought we wouldn’t get any high-end phones from them any time soon. But that “OS 2.3″ …just keeps me wondering why…

  8. Everything was nice before I saw the giant Carrier’s logo breaking the whole aesthetic design of this phone and its aged OS…. Plus, I don’t get it why to equip S3 chip instead of S4 given everything else of phone is top dog……??

  13. My interest cooled when I read 2.3 instead of 4. Speaking of, does ANYONE know when Rogers will launch 4.0 for the ARC?

  14. Unless you want LTE and an expandable SD slot, I don’t see a reason to buy the Ion. Am I missing something important?

  16. I hope Telus carries the Ion as I have my concerns about the Galaxy III with the recent reports of overheating.

  17. GX FTW! big announcement coming up from Sony, probably the international version of the flagship GX. already showed up on the FCC. S4 + 13MP camera, yo!

    the Ion belongs on Fido as purely mid-range, not a competitor to the OneX or SGS3.

    but of course, Fido will never get it, smh.
