【iMobile爱科技资讯】2月3日消息，手机影像的竞争角度正悄然发生变化。去年9月，iPhone17系列首 发了名为 Center Stage 的 1:1 方形前置传感器。这种跳出传统 4:3 或 16:9 比例的设计，让用户单手竖向 握持手机，就能拍出以往必须横向握持才能得到的广角画面。 这一创新的背后，折射出与大疆 Osmo Pocket3 异曲同工的成功逻辑：相比于枯燥的画质堆料，"拍摄方 式"的革命更具杀伤力。 Pocket3 靠一个旋转屏解决了横竖屏切换的痛点，而苹果则靠一颗 1:1 传感器， 彻底打破了手机握持姿势对画幅的物理束缚。 这种"竖拍横图"的降维打击，迅速引起了国产阵营的高度警觉。据知名数码博主"数码闲聊站"爆料，华 为和OPPO目前都已在跟进了解1:1Sensor，计划将其引入自家的前置影像方案。 这一创新的背后，折射出与大疆 Osmo Pocket3 异曲同工的成功逻辑：相比于枯燥的画质堆料，"拍摄方 式"的革命更具杀伤力。 Pocket3 靠一个旋转屏解决了横竖屏切换的痛点，而苹果则靠一颗 1:1 传感器， 彻底打破了手机握持姿势对画幅的物理束缚。 这种"竖拍横图"的降维打击，迅 ...
