At today’s Sony event at CES, the company took the wraps off its “newest progeny” the Xperia Ion. Running Android 2.3.7, the device isn’t loaded up with the latest Google mobile OS – that’d be Ice Cream Sandwich, but the company assures us it’s coming in the 2nd quarter of this year. And, yes, it’ll be rocking a skinned UX – sorry, folks. The handset strikes a definite presence in hand, bucking the thinner is better trend we’ve seen over the last few days for a bulkier, premium build. Beneath that hulking construction lies a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, powering the 4.6-inch display. Fans of the new, Ericsson-less Sony can snag this handset when it goes on sale globally in March. WE got a chance to spend some time manhandling the devices, so follow on after the break to find out our first impressions.
