This new phone is taking the selfie game to the next level

We're into this.

Selfie

The selfie game is constantly changing.

Ten years ago, we all were all straining our shoulders trying to hold our digital cameras high above our faces to get that optimum MySpace shot.

Then front cameras came along, and all our lives changed forever.

Throw in the introduction of the selfie stick a few years ago, and you could say we’ve got everything we need to take the perfect photo.

However, this Chinese phone company have upped the game yet again and designed a phone that has not one, but two, display screens.

Yes, that’s two whole screens on a phone that you can use to take your selfies with.

The phone’s second screen appears on the back of the device and is considerably smaller than the front facing display.

Meizu’s ‘Pro 7’ smartphone design leaked earlier this month, but people weren’t all that sure if that back screen was a colour LCD display.

But now we know that it is, and that you can definitely take lots of pics with it.

As the front cameras on smartphones tend to take pictures that are a lot grainier than those taken on back cameras, we can see why this feature would appeal to a lot of people.

However, we could also just stick some mirrors on the backs of our phones to get the same effect, probably.

The Pro 7 is being launched next Wednesday. We don’t yet know how much the phone will cost, but we’re expecting that it won’t be cheap.
