It's not going to be a horizontal half frame, that would just be plain
silly. There were a couple of quick teasers in the video. Portrait
format like a 'phone camera. IMHO it will be standard film advance, but
half a frame at a time. It seems to me it will be like a digital compact
with film replacing the sensor. All controls will be electronic, nothing
mechanical. The lens could be anything. Auto mode will probably mostly
rule supreme.

I was quite surprised that it is a vertical half frame, but the logic
behind that decision is that a vertical format is what the target
market is already comfortable with.
Making it a horizontal half frame would mean transporting the film
from top to bottom and a very odd shape of the camera.
There has apparently been a market for vertical frame cameras long
before mobile phone photography. Remember those 645 rangefinders from
Bronica (or Mamiya) in the late 80s or 90s?
