Sony was announcing a whole range of new smartphones, tablet, accessories and other hardware for IFA 2014.

Video below from Sony detailing its new Z3 range of hardware.

First up is the new Z3 flagship to replace the Z2.

The new 5.2-inch phone from Sony has a 1080p screen resolution, quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a familiar 20.7-megapixel camera sensor that has now been boosted to reach an unprecedented 12,800 ISO sensitivity. The lens has been made wider, with the new 25mm-equivalent field of view capturing more of the scene around you, and there’s improved image stabilization for video, which can once again be recorded at 4K resolution. It is also lighter and slimmer, stronger nylon reinforced edges, and a higher dust and waterproofing with an IP65/68. It also has hi res playback. Comes in several colours including copper.The Remote Play with a PS4 is coming soon.

The Z3 Compact is a 4.6 inch 720p phone with identical specs as the bigger Z3. The battery is smaller at 2,600maH too. Also the frame uses translucent plastic on the frame edge instead of aluminium found in the Z3. The Z3 Compact is 8.6mm thick.

The Z3 tablet is super thin at 6.4mm and light at 270g and comes with PS4 Remote Play which is the secret weapon. It is also IP65/68.

The wearables from Sony all have IP68 waterproofing. The Smartband has a mic and speaker so you can take calls. It also has an e-ink display which has a really slow refresh rate.

The Smartwatch 3 now comes with Andorid Wear OS. Again it is IP68 but looks really plastic.

Sony also launched the new camera hub lenses as I mentioned yesterday, new headphones and walkmans.

I must admit, the Sony announcements left me underwhelmed a bit. Do you agree?
