The Aqua Star II HD is thus another one of the many "oriental" phones that are knocking on the door of Europe with a low price and good features, where - unless we indulge in a "relationship" - we still buy rather expensive smartphones telephones. This one intends to change that, as it is also supposed to set foot on the soil of the Old Continent.
They say the freaks come out at night, but when darkness falls on the land, the ideal conditions for magical photos are created.

This is exactly what the Fonkraft modular mobile phone, aimed at the widest range of people, did, collecting funds on Indiegogo and literally racing towards the goal of 50 thousand US dollars.
Every now and then, a smartphone comes along that is so impressive that we can't ignore it, even though we know it won't be our next phone. One such example is the Turing Phone, a smartphone that is stronger than steel.

If you are looking for a durable phone in both physical and hardware terms, the Turing Phone is the right choice.
The versatile Canon XC10, a compact camcorder that offers 4K video recording and digital stills, shares many features with the Canon Cinema EOS camera series.

Although LG has not yet officially presented its smartphone, the technical data and now the image are still only an open secret.
