Oppo launches Bubble smartphone accessory and OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT Work for mobile

Oppo announced the Bubble, a magnetic accessory that attaches to the back of its Reno16 Series phones. The compact device displays a live preview from the rear camera on an AMOLED screen, allowing users to frame shots, control zoom and trigger the camera remotely up to ten metres. It also lets owners customise the display with images or short videos, turning the phone’s rear surface into a configurable visual element.

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Work on smartphones, extending its AI‑driven productivity suite to Android and iOS. The mobile mode integrates with email, calendar and cloud‑document apps, letting users define multi‑step tasks, verify outputs and manage projects directly from their device while still supporting more complex work on desktop computers.
