According to the images, these lenses can be attached on any Android and iOS devices easily using a special mount. Sony will also be launching some special case for their own Xperia smartphones which can be used instead of those mounts. The images shows few mounts attached on Xperia Z and Xperia Z1, have a watch below.

The images also reveals that the lenses do not need to be attached to the smartphone to work, and can be used independently to take a self-portrait, as you can see in the images below. The images and videos will be stored on both, smartphone and lens memory. The user will be able to control zoom, exposure, white balance, and focus using the smartphone easily.

To remind you all, the Sony DSC-QX10 will be priced around $250, which matches the lens on the $400 Sony WX150 with an 18MP CMOS sensor and f/3.3-5.9 lens.

Whereas, the Sony DSC-QX100 will cost $450, which will basically turn your smartphone into the $750 Sony RX100MII point and shoot camera with a 20.2MP CMOS sensor, low-light friendly f/1.8 aperture and 3.6x optical zoom.

These lenses will come with optical steadyshot stabilisation and will be compatible with all Android and iOS devices via Playmemories APP (the new version will come out soon). We will bring more information on these lenses tomorrow, when they will be actually launched at IFA. Till then, stay tuned.
