The smartphone was spotted online on Snapdeal a few days back for Rs. 35,999 and has been available since then. We were awaiting an official confirmation from Sony.
Going by the specification, the Xperia Ion packs in the following features:
- 4.6 inch TFT HD screen with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution
