The smartphone front-camera race is about to undergo a major change.

Apple may have once again set the stage for Android smartphone manufacturers to upgrade their systems, specifically the front camera.

According to information from leak expert Digital Chat Station on X, the new square selfie camera sensor on the iPhone 17 series may soon become standard on some upcoming devices from Oppo and Huawei.

Specifically, two major Chinese brands are testing selfie camera sensors with a 1:1 aspect ratio, similar to that on the iPhone 17. For Huawei, this sensor may be equipped on mid-range models, such as the Nova 16 series. Meanwhile, Oppo is expected to adopt a square sensor for its high-end Find X10 series.

Digital Chat Station suggests that Oppo's solution could be superior to Apple's. This information is entirely plausible because the selfie sensor currently on the Find X9 Pro has already received quite positive reviews, so things will become even more appealing thanks to the square sensor.

The 18MP camera on the iPhone 17 reportedly allows users to take selfies vertically or horizontally without rotating the device, thanks to its expanded optical area. On previous devices with 4:3 aspect ratio sensors, users had to hold the phone horizontally to take group photos, but with the iPhone 17, taking photos feels much more natural.

Additionally, the new camera supports Apple's Center Stage feature, which automatically tracks faces during video calls, keeping the user in the frame. This is a great feature that enhances the user experience.

Based on initial reviews, equipping phones with a square camera sensor truly benefits users, regardless of the inspiration. If Android manufacturers can deliver similar upgrades, it would be good news for users. The 18MP camera on the iPhone 17 is a significant step forward after years of improvement, hopefully opening up a more enjoyable experience for Android phone users.
