The Bottom Line The $99.99 Sony Xperia Ion looks like a good Android deal but its weaknesses make it not worth even the budget price. A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. The Sony Xperia TL is a fantastic value and Sony's best U.S. smartphone yet. Nokia's Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it. Sony's pricey, stylish Xperia S is packed with multimedia tricks but is undone by a slow processor and lackluster display.
