Oppo is apparently working on an unusual smartphone gadget that is designed to make selfies and creative shots much more convenient. With the new Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen, the manufacturer in China has presented a compact accessory that can be magnetically attached to compatible smartphones and can show a preview of the main camera on a small round display. The gadget is set to be released together with the Oppo Reno 16 series at the end of May 2026 and combines remote camera control, individual design and mobile flexibility in an unusual form factor.
- Round additional display for previewing selfies with the main camera
- Magnetic attachment to compatible Oppo smartphones
- Wireless connection with a range of up to 10 meters
- Customizable animated and static wallpapers
Oppo Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen focuses on creative smartphone photography
With the Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen, Oppo is taking an unusual approach to smartphone accessories. Instead of classic selfie displays or secondary screens such as the Insta360 Snap (our test), the manufacturer has integrated a separate round mini display that has apparently been specially developed for selfie and camera applications. The accessory is magnetically attached to the back of a compatible smartphone and displays a live preview of the main camera.
This allows photos or videos to be taken with the rear cameras, while direct image control remains possible at the same time. High-quality main cameras in particular generally deliver significantly better results than front cameras, which is why the accessory could be particularly interesting for content creators, social media recordings or high-quality selfies.
According to the information published so far, the gadget communicates wirelessly with the smartphone and is said to support a range of up to ten meters. This suggests that the accessory could possibly also be used as a small remote control for group photos or video recordings. Oppo itself has not yet published the exact technical details in full, but the basic functionality appears plausible and technically feasible.
The strongly design-oriented concept of the Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen is also striking. The round silver housing looks more like a lifestyle gadget than a classic smartphone accessory. In addition, various animated and static background images can be selected, allowing the display to be personalized. An accessory in the form of a pocket pendant has also already been teased, which should further emphasize its mobile use.
New Oppo accessories could become part of a larger ecosystem
The presentation of the Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen will coincide with several other new Oppo products. Together with the accessories, the Oppo Reno 16 series, the Oppo Pad 6 and the new Oppo Enco Air5s headphones are to be presented at the end of May. This indicates that Oppo wants to expand its device ecosystem and establish additional smartphone accessories.
The magnetic attachment solution is particularly interesting. This is partly reminiscent of concepts such as MagSafe accessories or modular smartphone extensions from other manufacturers. It remains to be seen whether Oppo will rely on its own standard or require special smartphone models.
There is also currently no official information on the size, battery life or display resolution of the Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen. Nevertheless, the concept seems realistic overall, as similar camera monitor solutions already exist in the professional sector. Oppo now seems to be transferring this principle for the first time to a more compact accessory product designed more for everyday use.
According to Oppo, the market launch in China is scheduled for May 25, 2026. Further technical information and details on international availability should follow by then at the latest.
Conclusion
With the Bubble Trendy Selfie Screen, Oppo presents an unusual smartphone accessory that is primarily intended to improve creative camera applications and selfies. The combination of magnetic attachment, wireless preview and customizable display clearly sets the gadget apart from classic smartphone accessories. Some technical details are still missing, but the concept looks innovative and could arouse particular interest among social media-savvy users. Information on price and global availability is still pending.
