The company announced the availability of these three devices earlier this week.

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra actually functions as a Galaxy Note 3 competitor as it comes with a 6.4-inch 1080p LCD display, a water-dust resistant design and the ability to use pencils and pens instead of a stylus.

The phablet also features a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM, 8-megapixel front camera, 16GB storage, microSD card slot, NFC, and a 3050 mAh battery. The handset runs Android 4.2.2, JellyBean out of the box.

The 3G version will retail for $649.99 while the LTE model will sell for $679.99.

The Sony SmartWatch 2 comes with a water resistant design, NFC technology, and is compatible with any device with Android 4.0 and up.

It utilizes a 180MHz processor and a low-rez 220x176 pixel 1.6-inch TFT LCD. The watch will retail for $199.99.

The is the first time any of these devices will hit the U.S. This increases the competition greatly as Sony's handsets have fared well overseas.
