Oppo has introduced a new smart accessory called Oppo Bubble alongside the launch of the Reno 16 series, aiming to deliver a more interactive photography experience for selfie enthusiasts and content creators.
The device is essentially a small magnetic display that attaches to the back of compatible smartphones, functioning as a compact secondary screen with live camera preview and customizable interactive features.
Compact AMOLED Display With Lightweight Design

Enhanced Selfie and Group Photography
One of Bubble’s standout features is its wireless live camera preview capability, allowing users to frame shots and adjust angles while using the rear camera for higher-quality selfies.
Oppo says the accessory can stream live previews from distances of up to 10 meters, making it useful for group photography, tripod setups, and remote shooting without touching the phone.

Bubble attaches magnetically to supported devices and can also work with compatible protective cases.
The accessory includes a built-in 550mAh battery and supports automatic wireless pairing with supported smartphones without requiring cables.
