Insta360 Snap Snaps a Selfie Screen Onto the Back of Your Phone

SMRTR summary

A razor-thin magnetic screen that transforms your smartphone into a professional camera setup is making waves among content creators. The Insta360 Snap clips onto the back of your phone and displays exactly what your rear camera sees, eliminating the guesswork of framing selfies or videos with those superior back-facing lenses.

The device magnetically attaches to MagSafe iPhones or Android phones using an included ring, then connects via USB-C to mirror your camera app on its 3.5-inch touchscreen. You can zoom, focus, and switch between lenses without flipping your phone around, with only 30 milliseconds of delay.

Starting at $79.99 for the basic model, the Snap measures just 7.3 millimeters thick and works with iPhone 15 series and newer, plus Android devices supporting DisplayPort alt mode. The $89.99 version includes a ring light with adjustable brightness and color temperature, developed with makeup lighting specialists.

The accessory automatically works with Instagram, TikTok, and other apps, consuming roughly 6% battery per ten minutes of shooting. For creators tired of squinting at tiny front cameras, this little magnetic marvel brings professional rear camera quality to the selfie game.
