Smartphone lenses get serious
Sony unveiled its high-end lens attachment for mobile phones at the consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin on Sept. 4 . There are two types of lens, the DSC-QX100 and DSC-QX10, both of which are fully functioning standalone cameras that can be attached to both iPhone and Android handsets. The QX100 features a 20.1 megapixel sensor and a 3.6x zoom. The QX10 has a smaller sensor but comes with a 10x zoom.
The lens battery connects to iPhones or Android phones over Wi-Fi for charging, and it uses Sony's PlayMemories app to transfer photos to your phone's photo library.
