    This article gave me zero idea what a square front camera is.

    Does it mean that the sensor is a square instead of a rectangle? I’m confused.

      yes. it is a square sensor that the phone crops automatically to be a a rectangle. so it can take photos on landscape or portrait no matter if the phone physically vertical or horizontal.

      I use it sometimes, when I need to connect a USB to the back of my PC I use it to see where the port is

    This feels written by an LLM trained on exclusively Wikipedia and apple marketing

    It’s definitely a bigger deal than I think. Given that the baseline of selfie camera expectations is “nothing.” So any utility would count.
