We have all come to accept that selfies are a thing now. When you venture outside its not too hard to spot someone taking a selfie with something or someone that they find interesting or amusing. Many companies have created accessories that help people take better selfies, like the infamous selfie stick, and today Lenovo has something similar to show off. It has unveiled a new accessory called the Lenovo Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash.
That’s quite a mouthful, but the aim of this accessory is very simple, it’s to make your selfies look brighter and better. As the name suggests its a flash that lights up when you take a selfie.
This accessory isn’t limited to Lenovo’s mobile devices. It can work with any Android smartphone as long as the compatible software is installed. The simple plug-in design requires the user to insert it into the audio port, from there on out it is “100%” synchronized with the shutter.
The Lenovo Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash has nine white LED bulbs in a ring formation which creates an even diffused light over to a one meter radius, the company claims, saying that it can last for up to 100 selfies on a single charge. This extension is priced at $29 and will be available later this month outside the U.S.
