A China-based leaker has hinted that at least one smartphone manufacturer is testing a front camera equipped with a square sensor. This design enables Center Stage-style dynamic subject tracking, a feature currently associated with Apple's iPhone lineup. The leaker, known as Digital Chat Station, provided a subtle clue pointing to Oppo as the company in question.
Leaker hints at dynamic subject tracking tech for upcoming fall smartphone generation
The test device reportedly utilizes a 100 megapixel sensor for this front-facing camera. This resolution is significantly higher than the 18 megapixel square sensor found in Apple's current Center Stage implementation. The technology allows the camera to shift dynamically and keep moving subjects in frame during video calls or recording.
Clues from the leaker suggest that this feature might appear in the upcoming Oppo Find X10 series or later models, such as the Find X10 Pro or Find X11. It remains unknown whether the upcoming generation of smartphones, set to debut this fall, will actually feature this Center Stage-like front camera. The leaker noted that there is no word about other Android OEMs, such as Samsung, planning to adopt a comparable front camera.
Apple's iPhone 17 lineup is cited as the current benchmark for this hardware configuration with its 18 megapixel square sensor Center Stage camera. The rumor indicates that Android manufacturers are exploring similar capabilities to enhance user experience. However, the manufacturer has not confirmed the launch window or specific model inclusion for this technology.
