Smartphones are ubiquitous in the United States and around the world. And as everyone knows, smartphones do much more than make phone calls. Today, smartphones have become a necessity in which consumers are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on. They capture memories, browse the internet, send e-mails and texts and so much more.
Given the influence of smartphones on the everyday lives of consumers, it makes sense that people are constantly looking for ways to upgrade their devices. Check out these two add-ons that improve picture quality and allow users to convert their smartphones into gaming devices.

The L16 smartphone case with 16 camera lenses looks like something Salvador Dali would come up with. As strange as it may look, the L16 uses advanced algorithm technology to provide users with high, studio quality photos. Using the shutter button, users take 10 photos at the same time capturing all the details of a scene at multiple focal lengths. After the picture is taken, the devices algorithms “combine multiple exposures into a single high-resolution photo.” The L16 has 5X optical zoom, android capabilities and a slim frame. The device is perfect for travel, weddings or any other time in which timeless moments need to be captured.

Gamers are a different type of people. Obsessed with otherworldly scenarios, gamers will spend thousands to satisfy the urge. It must have been with this in mind that Wanle Game Consoles developed cases that turn iPhones into classic gaming consoles.
Wanle Game Consoles act as cases, but turn iPhones into nostalgic devices for those who grew up playing the original handheld device, Nintendo Gameboy. In fact, the consoles come preinstalled with classic games like Tetris, Tank, One Racing and Snake. In addition to turning an iPhone into a gaming console, the gadgets function as a durable case for one’s phone.
Currently, Wanle Game Consoles retail for $33.99.
Another aspect longtime gamers will appreciate about these consoles is that they are true to the classic feel of Gameboy controllers, and not simply a watered down version with cheap imitations. However, the device is an improvement in that users can easily maneuver between games without having to change cartridges. Furthermore, unlike having a Nintendo Switch or other handheld console users have both the capabilities of a smartphone and game console in one device. The company claims that despite the buttons and other features that replicate the original console, the case is slim and practical for everyday use. They also add that smartphone functions and components, such as the microphone, speaker, headphone jack and main dock will be accessible while playing.

The L16 isn't a case or does it have anything to do with a smart phone - its a standalone camera. Just letting you know .
