we've known about Sonia's lens units that are supposed to attach to Xperia smartphones but what if I told you that they can be attached to non Sony phones as well hey it's Joshua gar from Android 30 what's going on everybody and here is your first look at the Sony qx10 zé's they're different arguably innovative and certainly an interesting development sony has strived to make their digital imaging second to none and in the Xperia z1 that started with the 20 point seven megapixel G lens however not willing to stop there they wanted to make all smartphone photography as good as compact digital photography and that's where the Q X line comes in to lens units the QX 10 and 100 provide fuller camera capabilities to any phone they attach to what we thought might just attached to the Xperia smartphone via context actually connects to any NFC or Wi-Fi direct enabled phone one touch control as Sony puts it allows the Q X lens to just tap the back of a smartphone and become the lens for it you can even see it here being attached to an iPhone simply attach the bracket turn on the NFC on the lens tap and then attach the lens to the bracket now you have a humongous growth coming out of your phone that takes great photos the Q X 100 features a high-quality one-inch 20.2 exmor r CMOS sensor that will give you a 3.6 times optical zoom along with plenty of manual controls the QX 10 on the other hand will give you a 10 times optical zoom through 8 and 18 point 2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor one detail that we thought was interesting was that after they are paired the lenses are connected within a range of the smartphone it doesn't have to remain on the back of the phone which could open up some creative scenarios for avid photographers while the QX 10 at this display was actually a dummy unit the Q X 100 was very much real and felt adequately lightweight and when on the back of the Xperia z1 it does balance out the phone for more camera asked shooting it will take a little bit to get used to that's for certain but for anyone who wants to truly enhance their smartphone photography this may be one of the best and most unique ways to do so we'll likely get our hands on one at some point and we'll see what kind of picture quality the QX line produces until then keep it tuned to Android Authority as we bring you more from Aoife in Berlin
