Degrades image quality
I purchased this for my P20 pro to get wider shots and although the lens achieves this without vignetting the quality of the image is reduced. I'm currently editing a review I've done for my YouTube channel where I captured three scenes with and without this lens attached.The first image was a landscape, the image had very high noise levels and a huge loss of detail compared to an image taken without the lens. The second was a waterfall in which the result had a number of odd soft areas. Finally I captured a night time cityscape, as expected with any wide angle there was a lot of distortion but the deal breaker for me was an odd looking zoom effect on the city lights.The lens itself feels high quality but sadly it doesn't perform well at all.

Essential kit to sell your home
This really does make your phone camera into a wide angle lens.Superb for taking interior room shots for estate agent websites.Rooms can be captured in all their glory.It SLIGHTLY unsharpens the image but it is easily corrected in any simple software package. Fiddle with it once clipped on til blurriness goes away and you have no dark vignetting. It might take a bit of rotation/adjustment.Expect a small bit of flaring on brighter parts of image. But nothing badly distracting.Remember you haven't just bought a Canon R5, you've just spent a tenner.Great build quality, lovely case.

Works on Selfie camera, filter isn't that useful
I bought it mainly to use with selfie camera. Posted pics with the Amazon face are from selfie camera held roughly arm's length from the face (easier to use than selfie stick when out on vacation and more view of background landmark) - has eyelet for lanyard to attach it to my phone. Easy to centre as you can view your phone camera through the lens - see pic. Expect some loss in quality as it's wider angle with same amount of pixels. I don't own a phone without a main wide angle camera. Does not do well if the main camera is 108MP and portrudes a lot. The dedicated wide on my phone does a better job. Lens is an absolute fingerprint magnet. Not sure how useful the filter is. May have glare if sun is very bright and you're facing it at an angle.

Great for landscapes even better for vlogging
I personally use this for landscape photography and vlogging, since i can use my phone on its default settings without loosing image quality and it's easy to attach on. I'll admit it's quite pricey, but compared to some of the kit lens it's worth the money. It's made from quality glass that doesn't pick up a tonne of glare or reflections and the images and footage don't have noticeable soft edges. The lens depending on your camera will allow you to take images equivalent to a 16-24mm prime. This should be enough to convince you to buy.I'll be honest i'm not a huge fan of the clip. It does have good padding so it doesn't scratch the phone, but it's big, clunky and has weight to it. It shouldn't be a problem if working handheld but if you work with a gimbal i suggest buying some counter weights.

Awful for S7
This isn't great, even once you have fiddled about to get the right position the edges are still very blurry. I would have sent it back if I hadn't got rid of all the packaging etc. FYI This is based on using it with a Samsung S7, so don't buy this if you are intending to use it with this phone.
