The device works by being [magnetically affixed onto the rear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma5r) of an Android or iOS smartphone and plugged in where it will go to work offering a live view of the main camera array. This will eliminate the need to use the lower quality front-facing selfie camera for photos and video, while the device also features a [built-in wireless microphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundcam-go) and remote control to help users optimize their recordings from afar. The Cardon V1 Pro selfie monitor screen supports charging while shooting, has an adjustable brightness and offers a flip and rotate feature. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.4/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 88% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rear-camera Selfie Monitors:** Smartphone creators are gaining compact tools that make premium rear-camera capture practical for self-filming, reshaping expectations for mobile photography accessories. - **Integrated Mobile Creator Kits:** Accessories combining displays, microphones and remotes are condensing video production workflows into modular smartphone add-ons for everyday content creation. - **Magnetic Phone Peripherals:** Snap-on device ecosystems are expanding smartphone functionality without permanent hardware changes, creating new value in adaptable mobile enhancement products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Multifunctional smartphone attachments are redefining accessory categories by merging imaging, audio and control features into single consumer devices. - **Mobile Photography:** Rear-camera monitoring solutions are elevating selfie and vlog quality, positioning smartphones as more capable replacements for entry-level creator cameras. - **Creator Technology:** Portable production hardware is broadening access to higher-quality recording setups, supporting a growing market of mobile-first influencers and independent media makers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oversized Selfie Lens Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-f33.md) - [Viewfinder Display Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-sospiro-a15.md) - [Magnetic Camera Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-oppo-bubble.md) - [Detachable Action Cam Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ulefone-rugone-xsnap-7-pro.md) - [Rear Selfie Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-snap.md) - [Magnetic Secondary Smartphone Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-bubble.md) - [Logo-Displaying Lapel Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-mic-pro.md) - [Smartphone Dual Screen Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfix.md) - [Head-Mounded 4K POV Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibelens-musiccam-pro.md)
