Wide-angle lens

The Olloclip's wide-angle lens nearly doubles the field of view of the Galaxy S4.

Macro comparison

While the Galaxy S4 can focus pretty close to your subject, there's no doubt the Olloclip's lenses let you get even closer.

Just flip it

Unlike the iPhone version, the lenses are on the same side. You just flip the bracket from one corner to the other to change lenses.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
