Photo reviews
Photos and experiences shared by contributors. Read below how we check submissions.
How reviews and confirmations work
We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.
- Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
- Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
- A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
- Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

Founded in 2011 by Alex, a technology enthusiast frustrated by the limitations of smartphone cameras in nature photography, Apexel has grown from a single macro lens into a broad range of optical products covering telephoto, macro, microscope, and outdoor viewing categories. The brand positions itself in the mid-range segment, aiming at curious consumers, students, nature explorers, and mobile photographers who want more from their phone camera without investing in dedicated camera equipment. Apexel received a US CES Innovation Award in 2019 and holds multiple patents, which suggests a stronger emphasis on product development than is typical for budget brands. The webshop offers a compatibility guide and a lens finder tool, indicating that the company invests in helping customers find the right product for their specific phone model and photography goal.
