Introduction:
Being the new kid on the block that’s attached with a killer price point out of the gate, the Sony Xperia ion is surely going to be attracting quite a few heads in AT&T stores all around. However, the LG Nitro HD has being making the rounds for quite some time now, and as we look online, it’s now affordably priced at $49.99 with a 2-year contract. Knowing that these two share some commonalities, it’s going to be a mad dash to the finish line to find out exactly which smartphone will end up taking your hard-earned cash at the end of the day. Let’s find out shall we?
Design:
Neither one actually comes off as sporting a fresh design that we haven’t seen before, but if we’d had to pick, we’d stick with the Sony Xperia ion with this one – mainly for the fact that it’s sporting a more pronounced industrial design. Additionally, Sony’s offering exudes a premium finish with its brushed metallic casing, which so happens to give it more sturdiness than the all-plastic construction of the LG Nitro HD. Conversely, the selling points going for LG Nitro HD is its lightweight and comforting feel in the hand – though, its overall design is bland by today’s standards.
