However, smartphone cameras are not always equipped to handle different types of shots. Strap-on lenses provide people with better options for taking quality snaps.

Gimbal: A gimbal is a pivoted point that allows for the rotation of an object along a single axis. It helps take incredible images from various angles. Gimbals can be carried anywhere and allows for steady movement shots.

OTG cable: The USB On-The-Go first arrived on the smartphone scene in 2001. It acts as a host, allowing for the attachment of other USB devices to them. The USB OTG also has Flash Drive option. They act like portable hard drives to smartphones.

Protective cases: After spending an exorbitant amount on the latest Android or Apple iPhone, no one would like to see a little. Usually the first thing that people purchase once they have bought a smartphone, are hardcover cases. The cases completely protect a phone from damage, add some bulk to the device and hide cool aspects of the phone's design that you may not want to flaunt all the time.

PopSocket: You must have noticed phones that have a protrusion at the back. Known as PopSockets, they are removable grips for smartphones that were created by David Barnett in 2012. The website defines PopSockets as "A grip. A stand. A chance to show off your style, whenever you want, however you want."
