Nix Mini Color Sensor magically transforms your smartphone into a spectrophotometer

It seems a smart solution, the Nix Mini Color Sensor. Using a micro USB cable you connect your Apple or Android smartphone to the sensor. And with the accompanying app you can translate the colour which appears on the screen into HEX, sRGB, SMYK, CIELAB, LD(lab) or LRV-values.

The practical value of the Nix, which costs 99US$, depends on the accuracy of how it measures delta-E values. And that needs to be seen. We would love to hear from readers who have used the Nix Mini Color Sensor.
