Excellent user experience; Every feature you could hope for; Good quality of photos and video; Seamless connection process

Unique design isn't easily pocketable; Only works with Samsung's phones; Disappointing microphone; Stitch lines are very apparent

My rating is precisely the starting position. If you buy the camera is not ready for use. Chargers or memory cards are not supplied. Update later after purchasing the card.

Portable design; Easy to use; Reliable companion app;

Samsung Galaxy and iPhone compatibility only; Fiddly tripod alternative;

Tough build, but still looks slick; Decent battery life; Easy pairing and reconnection;

Fussy compatibility; A bit too large for a pocket; Desktop software is Windows only;
