- Case with built-in screen announced for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max
- The Selfix Case is designed to help you take selfies using the rear camera.
- It also has a microSD card slot.
One of the more intriguing phones announced this year is the Xiaomi 17 Pro, which, along with its larger sibling, Xiaomi 17 Pro Max – has a small secondary display on the rear panel that allows you to control multimedia, view notifications and take selfies. But soon, with the help of an accessory, iPhone 17 pro And iPhone 17 pro max will also get some of these features.
Selfix announced Selfie casecase for your iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max with a built-in 1.6-inch round AMOLED touchscreen. This 480 x 480 resolution display can be used as a viewfinder for the rear cameras so you can take selfies.
The benefit of this is that it gives you three additional lenses to choose from for selfies, giving you different focal lengths and access to larger sensors with more megapixels and better low-light performance. Of course, you can technically still take selfies with the rear camera without this case, but you'll just have to hope your photo is framed correctly.
Increases your storage too
The Selfix case also has a microSD card slot, so add a card and you'll have plenty of space for all your photos and videos. In addition, there is a mechanical button to turn the secondary screen on and off.
What's more, the Selfix Case supposedly works without any apps or settings – just pop your iPhone into it and you're good to go.
How well this works in practice remains to be seen, but it's certainly intriguing. There's also the matter of price, as we don't yet know how much the Selfix Case will cost, but it's supposedly coming to Kickstarter soon, where it'll be offered in Oat White, Blush Pink, and Midnight Black.
Of course, even if it works as advertised, it won't be as versatile as the secondary screen on the Xiaomi 17 Pro series, as it can be used for more than just taking selfies. But if you need a second screen without giving up iOS, then this might be your best and only option.
