The Selfie flash is pocket sized gadget that plugs into the audio jack, allowing you to create lighting and shutter sync to capture high quality selfies at low light condition. Lenovo’s Selfie flash works by using eight diffused LEDs which supplement available light for natural color tones even in low light conditions. It has a plastic translucent ring at the front.
There is a single button on the back that allow you to take selfies. Also, the ring at the back is metal.
The Selfie flash works with any Android device by simply plugging it into the headphone jack. Lenovo says that the flash comes with an 80mAh battery which is rechargeable and claims that it can take up to 100 selfies on a single charge, day or night. The Lenovo Selfie flash costs $29.
A great feature of the Selfie flash is that it can used with the rear flash as well and improve the lighting conditions marginally before shooting with the primary camera. Lenovo said that it will not be sold in the US, but will be made available on its website when it is released in the spring.
