Earlier this year, a rumor surfaced that Oppo and Huawei may offer a square selfie sensor on their upcoming flagships. Meanwhile, another recent leak claims that Oppo will use a 100MP sensor. Now, the latest leak suggests that the Honor Magic 9 may also get a square selfie camera.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Oppo Find X10 series will feature a Samsung-developed 100 MP selfie camera sensor with a 1:1 square format. The sensor size is said to be 1/2.5 inches.

In a separate Weibo post, the tipster also claimed that Honor is testing a 100MP front-facing camera for its upcoming Magic9 lineup. The series is reportedly being evaluated with an OVA0B sensor, which measures 1/1.8 inches and is expected to be cropped to a 1:1 square format.
DCS reiterated previous claims about the Magic9’s rear camera setup, saying that the lineup is expected to feature a 200MP primary camera along with a 64MP periscope telephoto lens. According to the tipster, Honor is currently testing multiple 200MP sensors for the main camera, including the 1/1.28-inch OV52A and OV52B, as well as the larger 1/1.12-inch OVB0D sensor.

A square format selfie camera, as found on the iPhone 17 series, enables users to capture selfies in both portrait and landscape orientations without the need to rotate the phone. The larger 1:1 sensor format also allows a wider field of view, making it easier to fit more people or background elements into the frame.
