Sony's attachable smartphone lens camera to be called Smart Shot

Sony's smartest camera accessory for mobile devices, called the Lens Camera, was spotted last month. Now according to a latest report, the new accessory from Sony is to be called as "Smart Shot". Sony is expected to unveil its much talked about attachable smartphone lens cameras, the DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 alongside the long-rumoured flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z1 on September 4 ahead of the IFA.

The pair of new ‘lens-camera’ devices which will arrive has already been spotted in the past – and they are the DSC-QX10 and the DSC-QX100 (whose user manual has already leaked out), where they happen to toy with the idea of being mounted onto a smartphone, while containing a built-in imaging sensor, Bionz processor, Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, an SD memory card slot and of course, a battery.

Earlier, it was reported that Sony's attachable lens cameras would be called EspressOn. Previously, the specifications of Sony's lens cameras had leaked revealing that Sony's attachable lens camera duo will feature built-in sensors, Bionz processor, Wi-Fi or NFC wireless connection and SD card slot support. It was reported that the lens cameras would not feature any screen and camera controls, but would be controlled through Wi-Fi or NFC with the smartphone or tablet.
