What Are Affiliate Links?
Specs5 (https://specs5.com) contains affiliate links to various online retailers and service providers. An affiliate link is a special tracking link that allows us to earn a commission when you click on the link and make a purchase from the merchant.
These links help support the operation of our website and allow us to continue providing free, high-quality smartphone specifications, reviews, and comparison tools to our readers.
