Hmm, hope they can release this in SG by March with ICS..

memory card - eMMC (embedded card)

Are they expensive and hard to find?

Sorry guys, being excited I read wrongly.

Xperia ion have 16gb eMMC (not removable) plus microsd card support. See the link I posted below for xperia ion white paper.

Now waiting for xperia s white paper to clear all doubts, since only eMMC is indicated for xperia s.

Usually eMMC refers to the memory card already put in by the maker before it is out for sale.

 

[rssd21]

Still long before we could get it in singapore uh?

Xperia s reported to be on sale at 1st quarter. Should be late MAR or early APR.

Here is the white paper for xperia s.

http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/105/035/2/1326096543/Xperia_S_WP_1.pdf

To sum it up.

Xperia ion, LT28a for US market, 16gb eMMC + expandable memory micro-sd card slot up to 32gb.

Xperia s, LT26i for global market, 32gb eMMC, no expandable memory according to white paper.

so basically Xperia S and ION are same model, just that one is international, one is for AT&T LTE network?

Xperia Ion :
- 4.6 inch screen
- 1900 mAh battery
- Built in 16GB memory
- Micro SD slot

Xperia S:
- 4.3 inch screen
- 1750 mAh battery
- Built in 32GB memory
- NO Micro SD slot

Personally I rather get Xperia Ion but probably it won't be available for global market...

Just renamed the thread. We definitely won't be getting the Ion unfortunately.

xperia s seems good enough.. at least for me

 

[storm913]

Any idea what is the ppi for Xperia S Screen??

Which sure is unfortunate, considering the slightly larger screen and higher battery capacity~

Some differences.

- ION is for US market, S is for global
- ION have expandable memory options
- ION have aluminium material in its built, S is mostly plastic
- ION have 4 buttons, S have 3 buttons
- ION is 4.55 inch screen, S is 4.3 inch screen
- ION is 1900mah battery, S is 1700mah battery
- ION may have that AT&T (US carrier) wording on front screen (imo, fugly)

Almost everything is shouting "TAKE ME INSTEAD" to me

Ahhh, sweet, wonder how's the viewing angle too!

 

[tkston]

If it is LTE, can the ION be used here in SG? Thinking of hooting it.

Local telecons are rolling out LTE.
