Sony launched the QX10 smart lens here at IFA in Berlin alongside the QX100 lens. The lenses integrate an AF motor, built in battery that allows them to operate independently from your smartphone.
We’ve got the QX10 here with us and have recorded a quick unboxing video for you. The QX10 is the lower priced version of the two lenses and integrates an f/3.3-5.9 lens with an 18 megapixel 1/2.3 inch sensor. The 10x zoom lens can be operated via the toggle switch on the left of the lens where you can also see the shutter button.

There’s a tripod mount below the lens itself and over on the right you can spot a small lcd that displays the amount of battery left. You can lift the back cover of the lens to place the battery pack and the microSD card. The box contents are fairly minimal and include a lens strap, micro USB cable, the QX10 lens, battery pack and a base to attach to your smartphone. The new Sony smartlenses work with both Android and iOS devices via the PlayMemories app that can be downloaded from the app store. The QX100 operates quite similarly but has a larger 1 inch and 3.6x zoom. The QX10 retails for $250 and we’ll have a full review up very shortly.

Sony announced its latest flagship device, the Xperia Z1 here at IFA in Berlin and we’ve already gone hands on with the camera centric device. It competes within its own stable with the Z Ultra that is also a relatively recent launch for the Japanese smartphone manufacturer. While they don’t exactly compete with each other, here’s a quick break down to see how the handset fare when placed next to each other.
The design language of the Z1 and Z Ultra is very similar and they most definitely do appear like they belong to the same family of smartphones. The front of the Z1 has a 5 inch Full HD Triluminous display with Sony’s X-Reality Engine thrown in for good measure.The Z Ultra on the other hand has an absolutely gargantuan 6.44″ screen. The resolution is the same as the Z1 at 1920 x 1080 with the pixel density dropping down to 342ppi versus the 441ppi of the Z1. The screens on both the phones are a much needed improvement over previous gen Sony devices and have fairly wide viewing angles and good color reproduction.
