Insta360 releases USB-C selfie screen it's calling Snap

Engadget.com and 2 more

Insta360 expands its product line with Snap, a 3.5-inch magnetic selfie screen that attaches to the back of iPhone and Android devices to enable rear-camera selfies and real-time preview.
Snap connects via USB-C, draws power from the phone, and does not include its own battery or wireless pairing, aiming for low-luss setup and immediate use.
Two purchase options exist: a $79.99 standard model and an $89.99 light-enabled version that adds an integrated ring light for better illumination.
The light edition includes a ring light with adjustable brightness, aiding color temperature control for improved lighting during selfies and videos.
Power management relies on the host phone, with the caveat of potential noticeable battery drain during extended use.
Snap is compatible with Android and iPhone devices that support video output over USB-C, enabling touchscreen control and app-agnostic shooting.
A protective cover is included to curb accidental touches, though it may not completely shield the screen on larger devices.
The Snap is positioned as a versatile tool for creators, combining real-time preview with compatibility across a range of camera apps and social platforms.
The device works with both iPhone and Android ecosystems via USB-C, inviting broad adoption despite not being a case replacement.
The accessory is a standalone monitor solution rather than a protective case, reflecting a trend toward external rear-screen mirrors for iPhone fans.
The new 9to5Mac reference notes Snap’s real-time preview, 4K shooting, and a light edition with three colors and five brightness levels, highlighting market momentum for rear-screen iPhone accessories.
