Oppo has officially launched its new accessory designed to support digital creators: the Magnetic Halo Flash Light. This portable lighting device combines a flash and ring light in one compact, magnetically attachable unit, aiming to enhance content creation with professional lighting.
The device is not exclusive to Oppo users; it also supports iPhone models, which allows a wider range of creators to benefit from its features. Priced at around $30 USD (199 yuan) in China, it offers an affordable yet versatile option for photographers, vloggers, and streamers seeking quality lighting solutions.
Compact and Flexible Design
The Magnetic Halo Flash Light features a minimalistic circular design in silver white, measuring just 18 mm thick and weighing 52 grams—lighter than a standard soda can. Its durable build combines PC and ABS plastics with carbon steel components for the magnet and hinge.
A key highlight is the 180-degree rotatable hinge that enables multiple lighting angles. Users can attach the device to the back of their phone for backlighting, place it in front for selfies or video calls, or tilt it sideways to create dramatic effects. This flexibility makes it ideal for various activities such as vlogging, live streaming, video conferencing, and product photography.
Dual Lighting Modes Optimized for Different Needs
The accessory integrates two lighting modes tailored for different creative requirements:
-
Flash Mode:
- Brightness up to 2,200 lux at 0.5 meters
- Power output of 3.6 W
- Supports up to 700 flashes, comparable to 400 pictures when using pre-flash and main flash
- Suited for low-light photography and nighttime portraits
- Ring Light Mode:
- Continuous lighting with brightness reaching 200 lux at 0.5 meters
- Adjustable through 8 brightness levels and 3 color temperatures ranging from 3,000K (warm yellow) to 9,000K (cool blue)
- Perfect for vlogs, makeup tutorials, live commerce, and professional video calls
Switching between modes is seamless either through a physical button or via a smartphone app, providing users full control over light intensity and tone.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Oppo’s decision to support multiple smartphone brands is notable. The Magnetic Halo Flash Light utilizes a universal magnetic system, presumably compatible with MagSafe technology on iPhone 12 and later models. This enables the device to securely attach without extra adapters.
For Oppo users, the accessory integrates fully with the built-in camera app via Bluetooth, allowing detailed light customization directly from the phone. iPhone users retain essential control functions like power on/off and manual adjustments, despite the absence of full app integration.
Supported devices likely include:
- iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 series (all MagSafe-capable models)
- Oppo Find X7/X8 series and Reno13/Reno15 series among other Oppo models with Smart Connect support
Long-Lasting Battery and Convenient Charging
Equipped with a large 5,000 mAh battery, the Magnetic Halo Flash Light can operate continuously in ring light mode for up to 40 minutes at full brightness. The flash function supports hundreds of uses before requiring a recharge.
Charging is done via USB-C, with one practical feature: the device remains usable while plugged in. This is especially beneficial for extended live streams or filming sessions where uninterrupted lighting is crucial.
Target Users of the Magnetic Halo Flash Light
This accessory fits diverse user groups, including:
- TikTok and Instagram content creators needing quick and quality lighting
- Live sellers aiming for a polished on-camera appearance
- Mobile photographers who want a hassle-free external flash
- Hybrid workers attending frequent video calls wanting to improve camera presence
- iPhone users seeking extra lighting accessories without changing their phone ecosystem
Its price point, approximately $30 USD, positions it competitively against premium lighting options from other brands like DJI or Lume Cube.
Oppo’s Strategic Expansion into Creative Ecosystems
The release of the Magnetic Halo Flash Light reflects Oppo’s broader strategy to build an ecosystem of smart devices supporting mobile creativity. Following wearables like the Oppo Watch and audio devices such as the Oppo Enco earbuds, this lighting accessory strengthens their position in the content creator market.
Industry trends show smartphones alone no longer define the user experience; intelligent accessories deliver significant added value. Oppo’s approach focuses on versatility, cross-brand compatibility, and user-centered design as key differentiators.
Availability and Future Prospects
Currently, the Magnetic Halo Flash Light is available on Oppo’s official channels in China. Global availability, including markets such as Indonesia, is anticipated within the coming months. If priced similarly worldwide, this could become a dominant mobile lighting accessory due to its comprehensive features and accessibility.
For vloggers and content producers, this innovative, magnetically attachable ring light and flash combo provides the essential lighting edge that can elevate video and photo quality dramatically. As content creation grows, such smart tools become crucial in delivering professional visuals in a compact, user-friendly package.
