Honor Magic 9 Introduces First Square 55MP Front Camera on Android

Honor announced that its upcoming Magic 9 smartphone will feature a 55‑megapixel square front‑facing camera, marking the first Android device with such a sensor.
Technical details
The square shape provides a larger sensor area, enabling wider selfie shots without rotating the phone. The feature will be exclusive to the Magic 9 and Magic 9 Pro Max models, each offering distinct shooting modes.
Development context
This follows a series of upgrades in the Magic line, from a dual‑rear 200‑megapixel camera to professional‑grade lenses up to 500 mm, enhancing overall photography capabilities.
With this leap, selfie enthusiasts can capture group and landscape shots with greater flexibility and unprecedented quality.
