    Android Authority Editors Choice

    Doing some perusing of other tech sites as I work on EBC and saw this "Editors Choice" image on Android Authority: Am I being a nitpick or should that be Editor's Choice or Editors' Choice? Seems like the most ironic of typos lol

    Best way to protect phone camera lens?

    I got the Galaxy S20 Ultra specifically for its beastly camera but over a couple years it got dings and scratches that eventually made it unusable.
