Shades of green Let myriad tones of nature add vibrancy to your home TECH Adonit Snap 2

-

A slimline smartphone stylus with additional photograph­y features. As people seek to produce ever more eye-catching social media posts with various effects, Adonit has created another tool for their digital arsenal. The Snap 2 stylus offers control over freehand input and a remote camera shutter.

Design is reminiscen­t of a carpenter’s pencil due to its flattened sides, which aid storage and portabilit­y. The gadget is magnetic and comes accompanie­d by a metal strip that can be adhered to your smartphone to prevent loss. Doubling as a camera shutter remote provides a clever and everyday practical use that will enhance your photograph­y. Dispensing with the need to contort your fingers while trying to keep the smartphone steady is a real selfie gamechange­r.

You can also use the power of Bluetooth and negate the need to hold the iPhone at all. Triple burst mode gives three consecutiv­e snaps, which is great for capturing action shots or slight movement such as modelling poses.

The stylus has a 1.9mm PixelPoint tip which allows precise image editing and accurate handwritte­n notes.

The gadget is designed for iPhone owners only, which is limiting and could be revamped with a little software update.

Those iPhone users with an interest in upping their social media game and who want more precise control over doodles and image editing that a chunky digit provides.

The thought of more time spent on social media platforms brings on a cold sweat.
