Guys, help me in choosing phone. As i was a fan of Sony Ericsson till date, i was thinking of buying XPERIA ion. What would you guys prefer? Sony Ericsson Camera phones were great. I like them coz of the camera, sound, design and UI. Samsung Galaxy SIII camera was great too. Any idea about XPERIA ion and Galaxy SIII? Thanks in advance.

+1 to sams advice..s3 and ion cost almost the same..if what interestes u is the ion's cam let me tell u that megapixels dont matter..the s3 supposedly produces better images than ion...and a dual core phone today is not flagship material anyway and should be priced at 32k max.

I, being a Sony fanboy myself just cannot recommend you the Ion at 36k. Simply not worth it at that price !!

Go for One X or GS3. If you want Sony and better camera than S3 and One X, save money and get the Xperia S. And even though S and Ion have the same module, S seems to have significantly better quality according to some sites. The screen on both the S and Ion blow away the Gs3 and One X screens though (provided its only you watching).

Though if you really want the Ion, wait for a month or two. It should settle at 29-30k by then.

just a day back I checked review of Ion from phonearena and it did not looked good. Damn even I am looking for good phone from a long time.. sony, samsung release good phones soon.. now it has been more then two months waiting..

most draw back I see in ion is it's battery and s3 chipset ..

hope sony gx or say Hayabusa will be good to buy next month and what I know samsung does not have any new phones to release other then note 2 (again not for me .. too big)

Is the Xperia Ion selling with a Snapdragon S4 Krait or the older S3? I heard there was a shortage of S4, thats why the HTC One S was also launched with the older S3 processor. If the Ion is launched with a S4 then it will match up in some respects to the Galaxy S3, otherwise it seems to be a fairly pointless device at 36k...consumers will not pay more than 1-2k for a phone that essentially is a sturdier version of the Xperia S which is selling for 27-29k

Xperia Ion has that same old S3 processor. Nothing new but more big price tag, only a hardcore sony fanboy would get this overpriced phone.
And yea HTC India launced HTC ONE S C2 not the original HTC ONE S with krait S4.
Xperia S is available for 26k with sony warranty by using bank coupon.

it is the snapdragon s3...not worth the price,AT ALL!!
it is just an xperia s with a bigger screen,better build.
the galaxy s3 is worth every penny.

Looking at the HTC One X specs, the only thing i find interesting is the processor and no extendable memory so i don't think this suits me
