Apple It seems to be setting a direction that Android smartphone manufacturers are starting to follow (again). One of the hardware innovations of the series iPhone 17 is a square sensor located under the front Center Stage camera. And this is the element that Oppo and Huawei are now testing.

According to an acquaintance leakera Digital Chat Both brands are now working with selfie sensors in a 1:1 aspect ratio. That is, the same as Apple used in the latest iPhones. Huawei should deploy this technology in upcoming models focused on photography. Specifically, there is talk of a mid-range in the form of the Nova 16 series. Oppo, on the other hand, is aiming even higher. The square sensor should appear in the flagship Oppo Find X10 models. According to available information, Oppo is trying to offer a solution that in some respects surpasses the implementation Applu, especially in terms of image quality and usability of the camera in common situations.

What will the new product bring?
The main advantage of a square sensor, such as the 18Mpx one, is Center Stage camera on the iPhone 17, has a larger usable optical surface. Thanks to this, you can take selfies in portrait or landscape orientation without having to rotate the phone. On older devices with a traditional 4:3 sensor, for example, you had to physically rotate the phone for group selfies. And from my own experience, I have to admit that the selfie camera Applu really did a great job and the difference between what we were used to with older iPhones and what last year's 17, 17 models offer Pro a Air It's almost unreal.
Part of the solution Applu is also a function Center Stage, which automatically adjusts the crop during video calls so that the face remains in the frame, or so that more people fit into the image. That Android describes from Applu is no exception. For example, we can remember the evolution in terms of the introduction of the notch, which we then started seeing practically immediately on (mainly Chinese) Android smartphone manufacturers.
