Why do you need one?

Reduces haze – made up of particles in the air that reflect light. The polarizer eliminates the haze.
Reduces and recovers highlights – smartphone like all cameras captures a limited dynamic range of light. The first light the camera sacrifices is the bright sky. The circular polariser filter recovers these details and brings details back into the bright areas
Adds drama in clouds – darkening and bringing details in the clouds, adds drama to the imager
Captures more colour – sun glare is always white. This reflection produces muted colours. The filter captures deeper and more vibrant colour
Removes reflection – capture the scene under the reflective water surface, reduce reflective skin in portrait. Ever captured a photo from inside a tour bus and discovered yourself in the reflection?
