▼ Summary

– The Bubble features a screen for live camera previews, remote camera controls, and a shutter button, similar to the Insta360 Snap.
– It distinguishes itself with a thinner design and wireless range of nearly 33 feet, but has limited device compatibility.
– The accessory is currently available in China for 499 yuan (about $73).
Oppo has unveiled a clever new smartphone accessory designed to help you capture better selfies by leveraging your device’s higher-quality rear cameras. Called the Bubble, it functions much like the recently announced Insta360 Snap, offering a round screen that provides a live camera preview so you can frame your shots perfectly. It also includes remote camera controls and a dedicated shutter button. Where the Bubble stands out, however, is in its slimmer profile, a wireless range of nearly 33 feet, and unfortunately, a limited list of compatible devices.
Currently available in China for 499 yuan (roughly $73), the Oppo Bubble attaches magnetically to the back of your phone. But the company has yet to confirm whether it will launch internationally.
