Olloclip 4-in-1 Photo Lens review

Olloclip 4-in-1 Photo Lens review I am not a photographer, so the idea of lugging around a big fat camera with two, or more, lenses is not to my taste. I am not into tweaking the camera with the right settings for each shot either. I love carrying as little as possible on me, and I just hate spending too much time working on capturing a magical moment instead of enjoying it. When I go on a vacation, my smartphone is my travel companion and my memory-storing apparatus. And more often than not, when I return back home I find most of my photos beautiful, but boring. They lack the...

Weekly poll: LG G5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7

Yes, we know we sort of did that already, and the G5 lost. But last time around it was just after announcement, and now that the reviews are out, there's firmer ground to make an informed opinion. That, and also now it's the LG G5 versus the non-edge Samsung Galaxy S7. The smartphones are priced identically, share some of the hardware (particularly if you're in the States, where the S7 comes with a Snapdragon 820 inside) and are overall two of the best handsets you can buy. Only they couldn't be more different. The G5 is the quirky one - you can dismantle it, it has friends, there are...

In 6th we find the Samsung Galaxy J5 - a position it hold for a third week in a...
