Apexel TM6 TeleMacro lens review

An Apexel TM6 TeleMacro lens for smartphones.

Smartphone photography has come a long way, and you don’t necessarily need the best mirrorless camera to capture stunning photos — especially if you’re on a tight budget. I take photos with my Google Pixel 7 Pro all the time. I even photographed the Northern Lights with it. But if you have an older phone and wish its performance was better, you need the best smartphone lenses, like the Apexel TM6 TeleMacro, to up your game.

The TM6 TeleMacro is a two-in-one telephoto and macro lens, so you can take fantastic shots from a distance and also close-up shots of macro subjects. The lens boasts premium construction, while universal compatibility means you can mount it on to any smartphone, with the included clip-on mount. While the telephoto lens delivers great images, the macro performance is hit-or-miss, and there’s significant chromatic aberration in some telephoto shots. The lens is also quite bulky. But it’s much cheaper than its competitors.
