    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.

        so in other words it’s automatically removing some of my image in order to fake being portrait or landscape?

          I don’t see how it would be fake. people have cropped photos to change framing for a long time and no one called it fake.
