Sony announces its very first mobile phone ‘Sony Xperia Ion’ in 10 years after it is being seperated from Ericsson at the CES 2012. Now the new products and devices is back with its brand logo of Sony instead of Sony Ericsson. AT&T is the first operator to have a Sony phone in the assortment. Sony has selected AT&T as the first collaborator for the rejuvenated brand.
The first Android-based smartphone of Sony is the Sony Xperia Ion. It chose AT&T as its partner just like the corporation did while the announcement of Xperia Play in US. The 4.6-inch model has a 12 megapixel camera with running Android Gingerbread. It has a dual core CPU provided with Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 processor.
The logo on the backside of the phone is of Sony Ericsson which is seems to be a strange factor, since Sony has it own logo. This appears to have been in a rush as they have turned out a Sony logo in the frontside and Sony Ericsson logo on the backside.
