Smartphone has provided a new source of needed light at a night, and this recent invention has been a game-changer for random encounters with darkness. Despite permitting installed flashlight apps to know your location by using GPS data (particularly true of phones running Android as the operating system), phone flashlight is no match for even the dedicated keychain flashlight.
The maximum brightness of your smartphone flashlight is about 50 lumens, which is not in the same league as those thumb-sized keychain flashlights such as i1R 2 Pro, which have 180 lumens of brightness. If you wanna spice things up a bit, try our fresh Mountain Sky Color: i3T EOS MTS to refresh your gear.

Also, with very limited performance, you’ll only receive a few feet of beam lighting at best using a smartphone. A phone light can be more suitable when you get close to shelves and cabinets without having the reflective glare of a handheld light potentially blind you. But when it comes to outdoor exploration, the phone flashlight is pale in comparison to the handheld flashlight.

Not to mention there is no reflector on the phone flashlight. With a reflector, the beam is more concentrated and reaches greater distances with a larger reflector. Because the phone's small surface area limits heat dissipation, a phone flashlight can't be utilized at maximum brightness for lengthy periods or your phone may overheat.
