Under the hood, this runs a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon chipset paired with 1 GB RAM, enough for Android 2.3 out of the box, though Sony pushed an update path to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 later on. Storage sits at 13.2 GB internally with microSD support up to 32 GB, and the 4.55-inch LCD panel runs at 720 x 1280 for a sharp 323 ppi.
The 12 MP rear camera stands out on paper, with autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video recording backed by stabilization, plus touch focus and face detection for casual shooting. Battery capacity is modest at 1900 mAh, non-removable, which fits the slim 10.8mm build and 144g weight. Sony Xperia ion HSPA price in Malaysia starts from RM1310, and it comes in Black or Red.
Connectivity covers NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and HSPA data speeds up to 42 Mbps, useful if you're comparing older Sony flagships against similarly priced options still floating around resale listings.
