Sony Announces the 4K Shooting AX100 Camcorder

Getting a camera/camcorder to shoot 4K videos is an expensive business, but Sony is now trying to get things under control with its new FDR-AX100 camcorder. Priced at $1,999, the AX100 is a comparatively cheaper solution for getting your hands on a next-Gen shooter.

It comes with a 20 megapixel 1″ Exmor R CMOS sensor which doesn’t sound too big, but its maker is promising quality results nonetheless. Its 29mm wide-angle Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens supports up to 12X optical zoom.

Sony Announces the Budget Xperia E1 Smartphone

Sony is announcing a new budget-phone for the music-loving crowd with the Xperia E1. The phone is its first in a long time to come with a dedicated Walkman key and a crazy loud loudspeaker.

The display you get upfront is 4″ large and comes with uninspiring 800 x 480 resolution, which only reaffirms the phone’s starter status in the Xperia line-up. The 12mm thick body and the absence of a front-facing camera further clears any doubts left.

2013 for Smartphones!

The year 2013 may have brought quite a lot of new things to the table in the case of smartphones, but as a whole it has been evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

Sure, technologies like 4K video recording, curved displays and 2K resolution displays are quite an achievement for which manufacturers should be proud but even they are overhauls and steps build upon from previous years.

Sony Announces Pen-Drives for Android Phones

Japanese Electronics maker, Sony, has launched the world’s first pen drive, which can be connected to your Android smartphone or tablet.

This new drive is a “2-in-1 device”, with MicroUSB and standard USB2.0 plugs into a tiny package, allowing users to connect it with both desktop computers and smartphones.

It is devised to grant flexibility to the Android users by making the file transfer between mobile devices simple and brisk, without the requisite of any Wireless Connectivity.

In order to make it work with your device, your phone must need to run Android 4.0 or higher since it is explicitly intended for devices with Android’s On The Go (OTG) connectivity, which is usual in most phones running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above.
