Oppo’s Latest Camera Plans Revealed
In February, there was talk that Oppo and Huawei might use a square sensor in their upcoming phones, similar to the iPhone 17 series. Now, we have more information about the camera sensor Oppo could be using. According to a new leak, an Android smartphone maker is testing a 1:1 square sensor for the front-facing camera. The brand in question is not named, but the emoji used in the post suggests it could be Oppo.

This sensor is reportedly a 100MP sensor, which is said to be more advanced than Apple’s solution. The iPhone 17 lineup features an 18MP 1:1 square sensor that allows users to take selfies in portrait or landscape without having to rotate the phone. This new sensor could be a major upgrade for Oppo phones.

While we do not have many details, it is possible that Oppo will introduce this camera upgrade with the Find X10 series, which is expected to debut in October. This would be a major selling point for the new series, and could help Oppo compete with other smartphone makers.
The information comes from a post on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. The post does not provide much information, but it does give us a glimpse into Oppo’s plans for the future.
It is worth noting that the cost of such a sensor would likely be higher than current sensors, possibly around $100 or more, depending on the final specifications and production costs.
