Sony Xperia ion vs LG Nitro HD
Share:
Without question, the Sony Xperia ion’s 12.1-megapixel camera with its Exmor R sensor is the better performer with taking still shots over the 8-megapixel snapper of the LG Nitro HD. Flaunting its prowess, the Xperia ion captures our attention with its sharper details and saturated color reproduction. In low lighting, however, the Xperia ion exhibits more noise with its results, but nevertheless, its LED flash works better for the simple reason that it lights up to allow focusing prior to snapping the shot. With the Nitro HD, its LED flash doesn’t activate beforehand – resulting in more out of focus images.

Honestly, we’re humbled to find some refreshing music players with the two handsets, as they both sport their own uniqueness to stand out from the usually boring stock Android music player. In terms of audio quality from their respective speakers, there’s no denying the weak output of the Xperia ion – whereas the Nitro HD’s tones are a bit stronger.

Witnessing a flawless performance playing our test video encoded in DivX 1920 x 1080 resolution, both smartphones are worthy enough to provide a pleasant video watching experience on the road. Thanks to its Mobile BRAVIA Engine, our eyes gravitate more towards the Xperia ion seeing that it adjusts the color saturation of the display to better adapt to the playing video.

The LG Nitro's screen is definitely the sharper screen, you can see details that you can't see on the ION.

You are kidding right? I dont think those extra 3 pixels per inch are gonna make you see anything more clearer actually thats like what? an extra 12-13 pixels it has over the ion? thats ridiculous.

but these phones don't belong in the same catagory
the gs3 is a 2012 phone
while the nitro and the xperia they are all late 2011 phones
its like saying the wildfire and the g1 are fighting, but the s3 will come out the winner CAPTAIN OBVIOUS STRIKES AGAIN

Yeah, and developed by Sony Ericsson in 2011 on 2011 market standards, Sony probably only released it because they had it

They BOTH need to be upgraded to ICS before being compared to the monster that is the S3.
LG's new ICS skin looks much better and appears much more smooth and fluid than this cartoony crap of a android skin. Samsung made huge improvements over touchwiz a year ago and LG is just really late to the game. Let's just hope they don't forget about the Nitro because it has potiental, it's just held back by a poor UI skin.

You can get the Xperia Ion for $49 in Best Buy or Sony's online store.
