Square Camera Android Phones Following Apple

Khaberni - It seems that "Apple" has once again succeeded in sending a new development signal to Android companies, as one of the most significant hardware upgrades in the iPhone 17 series may soon find its way to competing phones from "Oppo" and "Huawei".

According to leaks published by the reliable leaker Digital Chat Station, the two Chinese companies are currently testing square front camera sensors with a 1:1 ratio, the same ratio adopted by "Apple" in its new selfie camera featuring Center Stage.

Square camera instead of the traditional< br/> According to the leak, this new camera may reach some of Huawei's mid-range photography-focused phones, such as the upcoming Nova 16 series.

As for "Oppo", it plans to adopt this square sensor in its upcoming flagship phones Oppo Find X10, according to a report published by "phonearena" and reviewed by "Al Arabiya Business".

Digital Chat Station expects "Oppo" to outperform "Apple" itself in implementing it, especially since the Chinese company is known for the strength of its front cameras.

Although the Oppo Find X9 Pro has already offered a unique selfie experience, using a square sensor may make the experience more practical in daily use.

What is the real benefit?< br/> The front camera of the iPhone 17, with an 18-megapixel resolution, relies on a square sensor that provides additional visual space from all directions, allowing the capture of vertical or horizontal selfie shots without needing to rotate the phone.

In traditional phones with a 4:3 sensor ratio, users were forced to hold the phone horizontally when taking group photos.

With the square sensor, however, a photo can be taken naturally while maintaining a wider field of view.

The camera also supports the Center Stage feature, which automatically zooms in and tracks the face during video calls, with the ability to automatically expand the frame when other people join the scene, a practical feature that significantly improves the daily user experience.

An upgrade welcomed on Android< br/> Regardless of which side started the idea, transferring such improvements to Android phones benefits the end user.

The feature, if well implemented, adds real value without unnecessary complications or cosmetic changes.

Observers agree that the new selfie camera in the iPhone 17 series represents an important leap after years of stagnation in this aspect.

If Android companies succeed in offering similar - or even better - alternatives, we may witness a new wave of innovation in front phone cameras in the coming period.
