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)
