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.

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.
