Vloggers will love this phone and rear screen add-on, but will anyone else?
The OPPO Reno 16 Pro is a solid Android phone with a quirky accessory, but the price tag is a stretch to get it all.
OPPO has introduced the Reno 16 Pro, a phone compatible with a rear screen add-on called the OPPO Bubble. The Bubble is essentially a viewfinder for the phone's superior rear cameras, which are of higher quality than the front-facing camera. The accessory is tiny, lightweight, and attaches to the phone via a magnetic connection.
However, the magnetic connection is reportedly quite weak. Setting up the Bubble is straightforward, though one has to factory reset the add-on to access the Bubble app on their phone. The Bubble provides a simple way to use the rear cameras for vlogging and selfies, with a shutter button for taking pictures or videos. The phone boasts a 200MP HP5 main camera, a 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultrawide shooter, all of which are quite decent for daylight photography.
The ultrawide camera is not as good as the others, though. The Bubble can also be used as a remote shutter with a built-in screen. However, it is not ideal for advanced shooting options like portrait or night modes. The OPPO Bubble is priced at £99, along with a magnetic case that costs £29.90. While it might be a worthwhile investment for dedicated vloggers, it is quite expensive for others.
