Magnetic rear displays sure seem to be getting quite popular. We\u2019ve already seen phone cases with displays on the back, and as I have noted in the past, I really want them in the US. Now, OPPO has decided to tease us with what we can\u2019t yet have by officially launching a screen that sticks to the back of its phones, and it looks really good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The \u201cBubble,\u201d as OPPO calls it, is a small circular screen that magnetically attaches to the back of compatible phones. It can be used as a viewfinder when you\u2019re trying to take selfies with your rear camera. However, it\u2019s not a one-trick pony.<\/p>\n

The company says that the device can also be used to display wallpapers and even live photos and videos. It can even function as a camera remote, all while streaming the camera preview. So, you\u2019ll be able to take photos and record videos easily, even when the phone is on a tripod. It supports live previews from up to 10 meters away, which is plenty far for most use cases.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Bubble can be used as a standalone accessory. When used with compatible cases, users will be able to hang it wherever they like (think jeans or bags), with the screen showing a wallpaper, live photo, or video. Cute!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no slouch on paper, either. There\u2019s a 1.73-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 466 x 466 resolution, capable of up to 600nits of brightness, with power coming from a 550mAh battery inside. It\u2019s also quite thin at just 7mm and weighs 27.5 grams. Plus, it\u2019s IP54 rated for dust and water resistance.<\/p>\n

OPPO is launching the Bubble alongside the new Reno 16, but the display actually supports a wide range of phones, including the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, Find X9 Pro, OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15T, and a lot of other phones. A full list is available on OPPO\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

All of that just makes me want such devices to launch in the US as well. I mean, there are only so many times I can get excited about phones with iterative year-over-year upgrades. I really want companies like Samsung and Google to copy this idea and launch it here. I\u2019d even take a slightly overpriced version.<\/p>\n

The OPPO Bubble display is priced at CNY 499 (~$75) and will go on sale on May 29 in China. The company hasn\u2019t announced any plans for a global launch, but even if it does, I wouldn\u2019t bet on it coming to the US.<\/p>\n
