Sony Xperia XZ - User opinions and reviews 2
It takes a little getting used to, but works well, floating the cursor around just like the pointer stick on a Lenovo ThinkPad does. Still not enough inputs for you? Well you could always just keep the right thumbstick pressed to activate the microphone. Yes, that’s right, the L.Y.N.X. 9 comes with a mic built into it, too. In terms of design the L.Y.N.X. 9 is a serious piece of kit. Predominantly made of metal, it both feels and looks the part. Slot the ‘fins’ into the hand-grips and it feels similar to the Sony DualShock 4 in terms of ergonomics.
With 30 hours of stamina the Mad Catz L.Y.N.X. 9 puts the PS4 controller’s battery life to shame, though. The analogue sticks are responsive and solid, the buttons and D-pad are spot-on and the keyboard is as good as an old-school BlackBerry. A quick bash of Dead Trigger and Beach Buggy Blitz on a Samsung phone provided a fun and precise experience. We only have one gripe with the design and that’s the triggers.

These don’t offer anywhere near the travel of the PS4 or Xbox One controllers and don’t look quite as robust as the rest of the L.Y.N.X. 9. Saying that, the model we played with was a prototype, not the finished version, so I expect further improvements before release. Something we can’t ignore is the plethora of parts that are begging to be misplaced. The Mad Catz L.Y.N.X. 9 doesn’t come with a carry case to keep all the bits you aren’t using, so you’ll run the risk of losing a fin or cable.

OK, let’s tackle that price tag. The L.Y.N.X. 9 is ludicrously expensive – more expensive than quite a few smartphones. It clearly isn’t for everyone; it’s a luxury toy, but it’s a brilliantly designed one that’s packed with features. The final version will even include a MHL adapter and HDMI cable so you can hook up your phone or tablet to your TV and game on the big screen.

Compatibility is currently limited to Android and Windows, so if you’ve got an iPhone 6 you won’t be able to enjoy the L.Y.N.X. 9. Mad Catz was reticent to explain why its controller isn’t currently iOS compatible. Early Verdict The Mad Catz L.Y.N.X. 9 is exactly the sort of thing we love to see at a big tech show like CES. It’s innovative, forward-thinking and pushing the boundaries. I think mobile gaming isn’t quite ready for the L.Y.N.X. 9 yet, dominated as it is by touch-optimised games. Phones and tablets are getting increasingly powerful, though, so we can expect more games that can take full advantage of the Mad Catz L.Y.N.X. 9. ONOCTOBER 8, 2014EDIT "HTC RE REVIEW | TRUSTED REVIEWS" HTC RE Review | Trusted Reviews What is the HTC RE? No, this isn’t a tech-head’s asthma inhaler – the RE is HTC’s first standalone camera and was introduced with the HTC Desire EYE selfie phone last year.
This is far from a conventional camera; it has more similarities with Sony’s Lens cameras or action cams. But you’re not meant to use it like those. No, the RE is a wide-angle companion camera. It’s a description we were initially dubious about when HTC coined the term, but in the month or so we’ve been using the RE, it’s been just that.
This is a product you need to live with for a while before you understand what it offers. The RE is a small and simple compact camera that you begin to use without having to think about. There’s no need to unlock your phone and fire up an app. Just point and shoot.
You feel like James Bond just holding it. HTC’s gadget is a niche product, but one that’s fun to use and serves a purpose. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. But it is fun to use and achieves results that, while not better than some of the best flagship phones, offer something a little different.
HTC RE – Design If you think the RE looks odd, you’re right, but the periscope-ish design makes a lot of sense once you start using it. This isn’t an action camera – it won’t replace your GoPro, even though the body is IPX7 water-resistant.
