Newer phone releases are increasingly foregoing the once defacto Micro-USB connector in favor of the more versatile USB-C.

I love my HP Spectre x360 13 2-in-1 laptop, but there’s one thing that I don’t like about it: the webcam. It’s a 720P camera that often produces overexposed and grainy images.
