With both parts together you get a standard macro effect but with the smaller part on its own it real zooms in and allows the phone to focus on close up detail.  Here are some photos using the various modes ; Seems a bit 'fishy' to me... Now as it was a small gift, I don't know how much it actually cost but if you look online you can find very similar lens kits for ...
