Ammon News - Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup brought one of the more useful selfie camera upgrades in recent memory, and Android may be preparing an even better answer of its own. A known Weibo tipster has just revealed that at least one Android brand is working on a Center Stage-style selfie camera setup.

What’s special about Apple’s selfie trick?

The iPhone 17 series uses an 18MP Center Stage front camera with a square sensor. That design lets the phone capture selfies and group shots in either portrait or landscape orientation without physically rotating the device. It also lets the camera shift framing dynamically to keep moving subjects in view.

This is quite a clever feature in practice, fixing one of the annoyances with selfies. From video calls to group selfies, Apple’s square sensor design gives the software a lot more room to crop intelligently. While Android flagships don’t have anything similar to this, a future model from Oppo might be changing that soon.
