Users can personalize the screen with custom images, emojis, and decorative themes, making it a design element on the phone's rear panel.
The accessory supports wireless remote camera preview functionality. Users can check framing, preview shots, and adjust angles while taking selfies or group pictures.
Oppo says the Bubble can support wireless live preview from up to 10 meters away, which helps during long-distance shots or tripod photography.
Users can also trigger photos remotely without holding the smartphone.
