Oppo Find X10 Series Tipped for Android's First Square Selfie Camera
Chinese smartphone maker Oppo is preparing a significant change to front-facing camera design in its next flagship lineup.
Multiple leaks point to the upcoming Find X10 series incorporating a square 1:1 aspect ratio selfie camera, a format that has not yet appeared on any Android device.
Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station shared details on Weibo about testing of a 100MP 1:1 square front camera sensor.
The post describes a natively customized 100MP small sensor solution manufactured on a 2nm iteration line, with an approximate Samsung sensor size of 1/2.5 inches.
The information explicitly links this development to a new flagship device, with earlier indications pointing toward the Find X10 series rather than the current Find X9 generation.
This design follows an approach seen in recent Apple iPhone models, particularly the Center Stage camera on the iPhone 17 series, which uses an 18MP square sensor.
Oppo's rumored implementation would go further with much higher resolution. The square sensor allows equal capture area in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
Users could shoot selfies or video calls in landscape or portrait without losing framing, then crop flexibly for different social media formats such as Instagram squares, TikTok vertical videos, or standard 16:9 content while retaining high detail from the 100MP resolution.
The square format addresses a common limitation of traditional 4:3 or 16:9 selfie cameras, where rotating the phone for landscape shots often results in awkward cropping or reduced field of view.
A 1:1 sensor captures maximum usable area simultaneously in all directions. With 100MP starting resolution, aggressive cropping for any output format leaves substantial pixel count intact.
Industry sources indicate Oppo and Huawei are both exploring this technology.
Huawei could introduce a similar square sensor in its Nova 16 mid-range series. For Oppo, the debut is expected in the Find X10 lineup, potentially starting with higher-end models such as the Find X10 Ultra.
Some reports suggest the Find X10 Ultra is specifically under testing with the 100MP square front camera alongside other advanced imaging hardware.
Oppo has not issued any official statement confirming the selfie camera specifications. All details remain based on leaks from supply chain and prototype testing.
Earlier Find X series devices have featured standard punch-hole selfie cameras, typically in the 32MP range on recent models.
A jump to 100MP with a square sensor would represent one of the most substantial front-camera upgrades in the Android space in recent years.
Beyond the selfie camera, leaks have detailed other Find X10 series specifications.
The base Find X10 model is rumored to include a 6.59-inch LTPO display with 1.5K resolution and up to 165Hz refresh rate, along with an 8,000mAh battery.
Rear camera configurations under testing include a 200MP primary sensor on a 1/1.4-inch size, with options for periscope telephoto modules such as a 200MP 1/1.56-inch or 64MP 1/2.0-inch unit.
Some variants are said to explore even more ambitious setups, including exclusive 200MP LOFIC sensors for the Ultra model.
The Find X10 series is expected to launch around October 2026, following the typical annual cadence for Oppo's flagship Find X family. Power is likely to come from MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 chipset.
No pricing information has surfaced for the new models.
Whether the square 100MP selfie camera reaches production remains unconfirmed.
Prototype testing does not always translate directly to final commercial devices, as manufacturers evaluate multiple configurations.
If implemented, the feature would position Oppo as the first Android brand to ship a square-aspect selfie sensor, potentially influencing how users capture and share content across platforms.
