TL;DR
- Honor is reportedly launching a magnetic rear display for its upcoming phones.
- It can also be used as a selfie mirror and remote camera button.
- It is not expected to be very expensive either.
Magnetic rear displays for smartphones are becoming increasingly popular, and some phones like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and the Nothing Phone 4a Pro are even coming with built-in rear displays. However, in my opinion, the freedom of having a magnetic screen that easily pops on and off your phone is better. And that’s why I’m really jealous that Honor is launching a magnetic rear display for its upcoming smartphones.

According to a Weibo post fixed focus digitalHonor 600 series will launch with magnetic rear display accessory. Users will be able to attach the screen to the back of their smartphone and use it as a display for taking selfies or just to show off their favorite anime wallpapers.

in earlier weibo PostThe tipster also mentioned that users will be able to remove the screen and use it to control their phone to take photos. He also said that the accessory will not be very expensive and will cost about the same as the gamepad.
Apparently, the Honor 600 and its magnetic rear display will not be coming to the US. However, the idea of such an accessory is quite interesting. In fact, given the popularity of phone cases with built-in displays, people actually prefer the utility of a screen on the back of their phone.
Naturally, its most common use would be to take selfies using the rear cameras, which are generally much better, have higher resolution, and also offer better night mode features. So yes, I really wish Samsung or Google would copy this idea and offer us something similar.

I know, these are distant expectations. But I’d rather have an accessory that has a real use case so I can take AI photos of the moon than another smartphone with 100X zoom.
