The Sony Xperia Ion is Sony’s first new smartphone since they called it quits with former partner Ericsson. The Android phone runs Gingerbread, and has a 12 megapixel shooter.
Not to mention it’s packing a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, and a 1280×720 4.6-inch Bravia screen. The cameras are a point of emphasis for Sony as the rear cam uses their Exmor sensor technology and a front cam that captures 720p video, which can be stored on the 16GB of internal memory. The Xperia Ion will be available in the second quarter of the year, when it’ll bring along lots of PlayStation games and Sony Entertainment Network stuff, such as music and video streaming.

Sony Ericsson's Xperia Range Getting Android 4.0 From Next March
A nice Sony windows phone is what I would like to see. The last one I recall was the Xperia x2, we need to see a nice clean cut design from Sony running on Mango..
I see no mention of the OS it will be running on.
I’m guessing by the buttons at the bottom that its Android.
I think you can take Android as read.
Sorry, details were scant when it was announced, but we just updated the post with some more specs.
Good to see a 12mp camera in a phone from Sony, but its about time these companies started giving us real specs on these cameras other than MP count, and something other than these rubbish small sensors would make a nice change – imagine a quad core Galaxy Note type phone with a Canon G1 X sized sensor, expensive and chunky but the only phone, tablet, camera that you would need.
