Leak shows off new Sony Lens cameras that can be attached to a smartphone

Sony QX10 Xperia Z
Sony seems to have a new, innovative product up their sleeve. This is a leak and a rumor, but it’s pretty damn credible. The rumored devices are the DSC-QX10 and QX100, which are new products Sony will probably call “lens cameras.” With a lens, image sensor, BIONZ image processor, WiFi, NFC and an SD slot, they are fully equipped to take high quality photos. However, they lack a screen or any way to control them.
They are made to attach to a smartphone. Using WiFI and/or NFC, they will connect to the phone and allow it to control the lens camera. With this fairly small accessory, you’ll be able to take awesome photos on the go using your favorite smartphone. And best of all, these accessories will work with both Android and iOS devices.

According to this leak, there will be two models. The bigger one will contain the 20.2MP RX100 Mark II sensor, which is a very large 1-inch sensor. The other model will come with a smaller 1/2.3-inch 18MP sensor and 10x zoom lens. Those are pretty impressive sensors for phone accessories.

This photo is a double leak, because if you look closer, the phone that is being used is actually the rumored Sony Honami.
We hope that Sony will price these devices well, because these could really improve mobile photography while we wait for phones to get better sensors and lenses. We may see these devices at IFA on September 4, so stay tuned. Would you get one? And if not, tell us why!

MotoX
The Motorola Moto X has finally been officially unveiled in New York shows all the details of the smartphone and clarifying or denying all the rumors and leaks that have plied cyberspace recent months. One of the most anticipated terminals of recent times and the first to launch the American company since its acquisition by Google, the Moto X will continue to be debated at length. Keep reading and you have all features.

We carry several months hearing about this phone. With rumors, leaks, specification sheets and videos that we showed the benefits of the expected terminal. Much noise, but really, how many nuts are there?

As many. The Moto X has several keys that can make a star smarpthone rivaling the iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One or the Sony Xperia Z.

The first key for the Moto X is so much to say which is the first major release of Motorola since it was bought by Google. While it is true that recently have come to light Mini Motorola Droid, Droid Droid Ultra and Max, the truth is that they are exclusive models made specifically for Verizon in the United States. In fact, the Moto X is the first handset from Motorola in which Google has messed with, influencing the final result, bringing it much closer to the Nexus range than previous Motorola handsets.

But to the point and go to the final specifications.

Motorola Chipset X8

Specifications include it somewhere between medium and high. But let these specifications for parts.

Motorola-Moto-X-capas

Chipset:

The Motorola X8 is the chipset that beats in the Moto X. It is a computer system comprising eight cores. A dual core CPU Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.7GHz running, to which is added the Adreno 320 graphics processor quad core. And say: "missing core, right?". Yes And is that the main CPU must add two chips than those of motorlola have called Contextual Natural Language Computing Processor and Processor.

In this case, the Snapdragon S4 Pro we found is not the same as found in other terminals, but has been modified and optimized by Motorola. By working together with these two extra chips that form the X8 motorola reduce consumption and increase the performance of the terminal.

The context processor is in charge of managing sensors, display, touch input, etc.. But the most interesting feature of this is that it can function as main CPU when the phone is in sleep mode, by switching to energy saving and turning off the S4 Pro

The natural language processor for its part, is responsible for tasks such as noise cancellation, or voice recognition, which will always be waiting to receive orders to begin to obey.

Thanks to this combination, it promises to increase the battery life considerably.

To ensure that both services in the background to handle the chips and functions as normal user programs run smoothly, have footwear Moto X with 2 GBs of RAM.




Display:

The display of the Moto X is a normal screen 4.7 inch high definition without being one of the best on the market, or the biggest, does the job perfectly and saves battery. With a definition of 720p and a density of 316 dpi is not Full HD, but this is reflected in a reduction in cost and lower energy consumption.

Furthermore, it should be noted that in these sizes of devices, the perception among the regular HD and Full HD is practically imperceptible.

Internal Memory:

Fulfilling the predictions, has been released in version 16 GBs and one of 32GBs exclusively for AT & T. But what is striking is that this space will not be expandable via microSD. Google already announced for Nexus 4 and it seems that now Motorola will continue this way.

I argued at the time that the management of the memory through microSD was ineffective, and relied more on cloud storage, policies that follow in this new terminal.

Battery:

The battery is 2200 mAh, a priori, does not seem too much, but keep in mind that is similar to riding the Samsung Galaxy S4. But if we take as reference the autonomy of this phone, and we add the efficiency of computer chip created especially to energy saving in the spotlight may be more than enough.



Camera:

The camera is one of the strengths of Moto X. Clear Pixel is a 10.5 MP camera that stands for a pixel size larger than most cameras, surpassed only by the camera UltraPixel HTC One

The videos can be recorded at 1080p and 60 FPS with a 30 FPS Slow Motion.

It also has a 2.1 MP front camera for video calls and hangouts.


Design:

The design is one of the aspects that have led to talk of Moto X. They spoke of many customization options for what we found among the 18 combinations backshells to which we add that we can change the front panel (choice of white or black), side buttons, and the ring around the camera.

This phone features a Magic Crystal Glass, which has been created by Corning, the makers of Gorilla Glass, in collaboration with Motorola, and it is a crystal that not only is responsible for protecting the screen, but covers the entire front cover . This indicates that the resistance of the cell will be quite high.

Price and Availability:

What catches the attention and where they intend to strike hard with the Motorola Moto X is in the price. It goes for 199 € in his version of 16GBs and relieve the Nexus 4 as a phone with best quality / price. It is hoped that in Spain the price is of 199 €.

It is expected to cross U.S. borders and reaches the other markets later this year.

In short, a very interesting terminal with a more interesting price. While the Moto X is not the same height as the HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S4, yes it brings features that make it worthy of being highlighted. And with such an attractive price, is a worthy rival to the great high-end devices in the market.

Now it remains to see how users respond against this presentation, and how they evolve sales and Moto X distribution worldwide.
