    This reads like an ad, with the romanticized stories.

    We take photos to preserve memories, but selfies feel distinctive for their intimacy.

    Feel distinctive; You sure it’s not the wider view angle leading to morphed images?

    Wow, they’re really trying hard to justify their €2,000 sink into a nonrepairable phone.

    This article gave me zero idea what a square front camera is.

    Does it mean that the sensor is a square instead of a rectangle? I’m confused.

      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 use it sometimes, when I need to connect a USB to the back of my PC I use it to see where the port is

    It’s definitely a bigger deal than I think. Given that the baseline of selfie camera expectations is “nothing.” So any utility would count.
