Olloclip’s addition for Otterbox’s modular case easily switches between 4 lenses

Before phones get modular, Otterbox wants to make our existing devices a little more functional with the Universe Case System. This iPhone case lets you snap in various modules to add extra features, one of which is Olloclip’s popular 4-in-1 lens, and we got a peek of it at CE Week 2016.

Olloclip‘s 4-in-1 lens features four varying lens types: Fisheye, wide-angle, a 10x macro, and a 15x macro. Snap it into the Otterbox Universe Case and you’ve easily expanded the style in how you can take photographs with the iPhone — but note that the case only fits an iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus, and the 6S Plus.

The clip also acts as a wearable pendant, if you wanted to carry it around rather than leaving it on your phone. Unfortunately, it’s a bit pricey at $80 — and that’s not even factoring the price of the Otterbox Universe Case, which is $50 for the regular-sized iPhones and $60 for the Plus variants.

Thankfully, if you don’t have or want Otterbox’s Universe case, Olloclip still offers the same product for the iPhone devices at $80.

We also got a look at Olloclip Studio, which the company created to act as a photographer’s on-the-go kit. Attaching to the same iPhone 6, 6S, and Plus variants, the case allows you to attach various photo accessories to it. For example, you can mount a finger grip to help keep shots steady, a tripod, a kickstand, and more. The mounting solution is patent pending.

Olloclip Studio will set you back $90 for the whole setup.

A company you wouldn’t expect just beat Apple as the No. 1 smartwatch brand
A Huawei smartwatch on a person's wrist.

Apple’s wearable devices, and specifically its smartwatches, are often deemed the default best. The ecosystem around the Apple Watch is often cited as the core convenience, but there’s no doubt that Apple deserves merit for health innovation and technical prowess, too.

It, therefore, comes as a surprise that a sanction-battered company with a far smaller presence in the West has managed to topple Apple and nab the crown of the world’s biggest wrist-worn device brand. The company in question is Huawei.

This mad phone does something unexpected when it gets cold

Realme certainly knows how to make an impression with the design of its phones. From Coca-Cola to Claude Monet, the brand always seems keen to embrace unusual trends, and for the Realme 14Pro series, it has created something we’ve not seen before — a rear panel that changes color with the ambient temperature.

I’ll let Realme explain what it does: “It employs advanced thermochromic pigments that react to temperature changes. When the temperature drops below 16 degrees Centigrade (61 degrees Fahrenheit), the phone’s back cover transitions from pearl white to a vibrant blue, reversing as environmental temperatures rise.”
