Summary:There is described a portable electronic device (100, 200) capable of managing screen orientation. The portable electronic device (100, 200) comprises a display (107, 207), a motion sensor (219), an image sensor (109, 221) and a processor (203). The display (107, 207) provides an image (101) at a first orientation. The motion sensor (219) attempts to detect a rotation of the portable electronic device (100, 200). The image sensor (109, 221) attempts to detect one or more body features. The processor (203) determines a second orientation of the image (101) at the display (107, 207) based on the rotation detected at the motion sensor (219) and/or the body feature or features detected at the image sensor (109, 221). The portable electronic device (100) may determine an orientation of the image (101) at the display (107, 207) in response to detecting the rotation at the motion sensor (219) and/or the body feature or features at the image sensor (109, 221).
