At a press conference at CES, Sony unveiled the Xperia Ion, the first 4G LTE phone from the company. The smartphone sports a Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine (so it’s got a beautiful touchscreen), 12-megapixel camera with a fast shutter, and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. Although the phone will be running Android Gingerbread OS at launch, it will be upgradeable to the Ice Cream Sandwich OS. The phone will be available later this year with AT&T service. Get a sneak peek at the phone in the video below.

The company also unveiled the Xperia S, which has similar specs. The big difference is that is has a slightly smaller screen size measuring 4.3-inches and sports a removable battery. This model will be available around the globe – so it’s also a world phone. It will be Sony PlayStation certified, so it should deliver a solid gaming experience.
