A smartphone is already cool enough since it has tons of functions that eliminate the need for other items. However, there are still accessories that you can buy to maximize the use of your phone, and here is a couple of them.
1. Portable Photo Printer
Yes, your phone already has enough storage to store your photos, but wouldn't a physical copy be better? There are portable photo printers available that connect directly to your phone and allow you to make mementos out of your memorable moments like the HP Sprocket.
The device can print out two-by-three pictures on photo paper, which you can send from your phone via Bluetooth. You can also buy photo paper with a sticker backing so you can put them up anywhere you like.
2. Attachable Gaming Controller
If you use your phone for gaming, then this gadget will surely catch your attention. There are game controllers you can attach to your Android phones, kind of like a Nintendo Switch, as pointed out by Business Insider.
Specifically, the Razer Kishi can fit with most Android phones, so you won't have that much trouble using it. Just make sure that your smartphone has a USB-C port. The attachable controller also has a charging port that you can use to charge your phone while playing.
3. Pocket Projector
How would you like to make it possible to have movie night anywhere? With just a smartphone and a pocket projector, you can watch movies or shows in a low-lit place wherever you feel like it. One brand you should look into is Prima.
It can project in 1080p HD, spread out in a 200-inch frame. It's created with DLP technology and can last for up to three hours. You can control it with a Bluetooth remote, and you can bring it anywhere since it weighs only 188 grams.
4. Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane
Remote control aircraft are always fun to play with. What if there's one you can control with your smartphone? Well, there is. The PowerUp 4.0 is a motor you can attach to any kind of paper, cardboard, or balsa wood plane you make, as suggested by GForGadget.
The onboard circuit is able to fly your plane on autopilot. Since it has a wind stabilizer, it can weather windy days too. It also comes with a gyro accelerometer and night lights, so you can observe it without having to do so under the sun.
5. Phone Sanitizer
Did you know scientists have found that your phone is ten times dirtier than most toilet seats? That's something to think about when you place your phone on your dining table or anywhere near your food.
PhoneSoap is a device that uses UV light to kill 99.99% of the germs on your phone. That's all the things that you've picked up as you use your phone at the same time. Plus, it charges your phone while it sanitizes it. Pretty neat.
6. A Selfie Stick That's Also a Tripod
Improve your selfie game with the Cliquefie selfie stick. It's made of polished aluminum that comes with a wireless remote. You can snap a photo with the push of a button using a Bluetooth connection.
If you want a wider photo, you can simply turn the selfie stick into a tripod. The accessory has retractable tripod legs so you can take photos from afar. This is also where the Bluetooth shutter remote control comes in handy.
7. A Motorized Smartphone Mount That Tracks You
You won't need to ask someone to take a video of you as you move around since technology has got you covered. Pivo Pod is a motorized head you can attach your phone to. You can control the device to pivot in your direction using the remote so you'll be in the frame at all times.
If that's too much of a hassle for you, you can always utilize its face or object-tracking feature. All you have to do is focus the camera on what you want to highlight, and Pivo Pod will follow it even if it leaves the frame. Make sure to download its app for more features.
