    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’m sure most people expectation are the standard aspect ratios. People want to go and upload it or share it without having to crop it first for the right framing

        But probably there will be some third party camera app that will allow this (like they allow raw)

      so in other words it’s automatically removing some of my image in order to fake being portrait or landscape?

        I don’t see how it would be fake. people have cropped photos to change framing for a long time and no one called it fake.
