Overview
- Oppo introduced the Bubble in China in late May, pricing it at 499 yuan and positioning it as a compact rear‑camera viewfinder and remote for higher‑quality selfies.
- The Bubble is a 1.73‑inch circular AMOLED touchscreen about 7mm thick with a 550mAh battery and USB‑C charging, and it streams a live camera preview up to roughly 10 meters away.
- Full camera controls and the live preview work only with a narrow list of Oppo phones (Reno 14/15/16 and Find X8/X9 series) and require a compatible magnetic case to dock on those devices.
- When not used as a camera display, the Bubble can show wallpapers, short videos, emojis and animated themes, and it can be clipped or worn as a standalone accessory.
- The product follows a growing market for magnetically attached phone accessories and will test whether Oppo will expand compatibility or if a broader standard is needed for wider adoption.
