Your phone probably has a pretty good front-facing camera, but the one on the back is the superior option. It\u2019s where the bigger sensor goes, the better glass, and in general just better technology overall.<\/p>\n

Clearer, sharper, and better quality, if you plan on doing any work from selfies, be it selfies with friends or content for social, you should be using that back camera. The problem is there\u2019s no screen back there, so you need to guess.<\/p>\n

Foldable phones provide a bit of an option these days, what with a foldable screen, but with the exception of foldable flip phones like the Moto Razr<\/a> and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip<\/a> range, it\u2019s also not one that sits in the direct path of the camera.<\/p>\n

Most phones don\u2019t have a screen in the back. That means you\u2019re probably going to have to guess.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Insta360 has been working on a clever solution that makes sense, though does feel very much like a #firstworldproblem: a screen you can snap to the back of your phone, complete with a ring light around it.<\/p>\n

Called the Insta360 Snap, it is literally a 3.5 inch screen with a ring light designed to work with camera apps that also happens to be a touchscreen.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to make setting adjustments from that selfie screen, with magnets holding the screen to the back of a Qi2 or MagSafe phone, which is pretty much the entire current iPhone range<\/a>, plus the Google Pixel 10<\/a> and Pixel 10 Pro XL<\/a>, plus a few others. The screen won\u2019t be powered by the magnets \u2014 it simply holds in place \u2014 using USB-C instead to power the screen, going from your phone\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n

The lit version has also been worked on with another company specialising in beauty technology, Amiro, with three colours and five brightness levels to allow you to tweak how your face looks using the ring, and seeing it on the screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Insta360 Snap, we set out to solve a simple problem that every creator knows: your phone\u2019s best camera is on the back, but you can\u2019t see yourself while using it,\u201d said JK Liu, Founder of Insta360.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy turning your smartphone into a powerful, creator-ready selfie system, we are helping creators and vloggers capture sharper, better-lit content anytime, anywhere, without changing the way they already like to shoot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Insta360 Snap isn\u2019t necessarily inexpensive, but will come in two options, basically giving you the screen for $140 in Australia, or the option with the ring light for $155, basically $15 more. Both are available in Australia now, found on Amazon and Insta360\u2019s online store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your phone probably has a pretty good front-facing camera, but the one on the back is the superior…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[290169,64,63,89380,126128,42281,42282,49125,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-594555","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-amiro","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-insta360","12":"tag-magnets","13":"tag-magsafe","14":"tag-qi2","15":"tag-selfie","16":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
