8 best smartphones for selfie

Recently, an increasing number of people regularly take a smartphone out of their pocket in order to take a selfie. But a couple of decades ago we didn’t even think about taking a picture of ourselves, if there was no tripod at hand. Now we don't even need a selfie stick! Many smartphones have a wide-angle front-end, so that not only your face, but also other people (or some landmark, if you stand in front of it) gets into the frame. Many, but not all. If you want to buy a smartphone that perfectly copes with shooting "bash", then be sure to check out our rating. But do not expect him to mention budget devices - such devices can not boast of an excellent front camera, which would not be said in their advertising.

Apple iPhone X 128GB

Smartphone rating for selfies: 4.9

In 2017, the well-known company from Cupertino decided to release an anniversary iPhone. "Ten" for the first time got at its disposal a real AMOLED-screen. This means that every pixel here glows independently. If an image with an abundance of black is displayed on the screen, the power consumption is reduced. And these black colors will be perfect - earlier there was a backlight in the iPhone that spoiled everything.

The main difference between the iPhone X and its predecessors is the cutout at the top of the display. In the people, this design element immediately received the name "mono-brow". Inside the elegant neckline is a complex system of front-facing cameras and sensors. Its main task is 3D scanning of a user's face. This method of unlocking turned out to be very reliable, the manufacturer even decided to abandon the fingerprint scanner! Although it must be admitted that the fingerprint sensor in past Apple smartphones worked a little faster.

With the help of the front camera built into this unit, you can create the so-called animoji. This is when a video is created in which the smiley exactly repeats all your facial movements. And, of course, the front-end is capable of shooting great photos. For this, a 7-megapixel matrix is ​​used. But do not be intimidated by this supposedly low resolution! The “Apple” giant did a great job on optics, thanks to which it squeezed everything out of the matrix.

And what else can boast of this smartphone? Of course, a smart rear camera - it is double, and both of its modules are complemented by optical stabilization. The matrices used here have a 12-megapixel resolution. Aperture is here disclosed to the value of f / 1.8. With this camera, you can shoot 4K video, and even with a frequency of 60 frames / s!

Of course, such a smartphone can not offer a high-speed wireless connection. For this, LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0 are supported. Well, through Apple Pay will be made contactless payment.

Alas, the smartphone has several disadvantages.For example, it is unlikely that someone would call this smartphone available for selfies. Even now, when one and a half years have passed since the announcement, about 60 thousand rubles are asked for this representative of our rating. Looking at this price tag, you immediately ask yourself a question about the absence of a 3.5 mm audio jack. Also, not everyone will be satisfied with a slot for a SIM-card, which is present here in a single copy. If you think, then the screen is not perfect here. Its resolution is 2436x1125 pixels. For such money, I would like to get a parameter close to 4K.

Otherwise, it is quite difficult to find fault with a smartphone. Here is the function of wireless charging. Fast charging is also possible. The only pity is that the corresponding adapter will have to be bought separately. Well, the built-in memory is a controversial issue. Apple has traditionally released several versions of the iPhone X, differing in the amount of built-in storage. We recommend looking towards the 128-gigabyte version of the smartphone. In this case, you will take a selfie, not worrying about the fact that one day there will not be enough space for new pictures.

Honor View 20 6 / 128GB

Smartphone rating for selfies: 4.8

The Chinese company Huawei has recently begun to delight smartphones, perfectly coping with photo and video. In particular, Honor View 20 is such an apparatus. This is one of the first devices, the display of which received a round cutout for the front camera lens. Also, the smartphone is able to boast an almost complete lack of side frames. A small area remained only at the bottom of the faceplate. In short, this gadget will definitely please fans of frameless smartphones.

The diagonal of the screen installed here is 6.4 inches. Permission can not be called beyond. But the 2310x1080 pixels is quite normal for a device that does not have an astronomical price tag. In Russia, you can buy this model for 38 thousand rubles.

The main feature of the device is not the display. A distinctive feature of this smartphone for selfies is the back camera. You will not believe it, but the resolution of the main module has been reduced to 48 megapixels! The pictures are very detailed! This, perhaps, is not the level of a professional SLR camera, but already close to it. We recommend watching photos on a TV or monitor with a 4K screen - this is the only way you can see pictures in all its glory. By the way, the images are quite bright even when shooting in bad weather or in the evening. Thanks for this, you need not only the auxiliary module, but also the f / 1.8 aperture. And this camera is capable of shooting 4K video. However, this can boast of any smartphone sold for the money.

But this ranking focuses on selfie opportunities. In this regard, Honor View 20 also has no problems. On its front panel is a 25-megapixel front camera. The photos obtained with its help will even suit the picky who does not like this or that.

Despite the flagship status, the device has not lost its 3.5-millimeter audio jack. This allows you to connect a selfie stick equipped with the appropriate wire. However, it is better to purchase a monopod instead, transmitting a signal via Bluetooth, because there is support for this standard.And the device can exchange data over LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Not forgotten by the Chinese manufacturer and NFC-chip, thanks to which the contactless method of payment for purchases is implemented.

Of course, such a smartphone could not get a top processor. And the buyer is waiting for 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory. Autonomous operation of the device provides a 4000 mAh battery. Its recharging is carried out via a USB Type-C connector.

You have already understood that you need to look for flaws in such a smartphone under a magnifying glass. It is impossible to find fault even with the operating system, because the latest Android 9.0 is used here. Someone is not satisfied with just the location of the fingerprint scanner - not everyone wants to reach for the back panel. But this sensor is triggered - lightning fast!

Huawei Mate 20X 128GB

Smartphone rating for selfies: 4.8

Next, we will talk about another creation of Huawei. This manufacturer distributes it under its own brand. This smartphone is no longer able to boast a round neckline in the screen. However, the design here is still the same frameless. The place for the camera was allocated with the help of a drop-shaped notch. One can not admit that some users like it much more annoying "monobrovi." Another important fact is that this device is endowed with an OLED-display. This means that you are waiting for the perfect black color and low power consumption.

However, the screen does not suit everyone. The fact is that it turned out to be too big. Its diagonal is up to 7.2 inches! Even with an almost completely missing frame, this made the smartphone quite large. But even sadder is that the display resolution is 2244x1080 pixels. How could it be so stingy? Only 346 pixels per inch! This is not the level of such an expensive device!

Certain complaints and causes the weight of the gadget, reaching 232 g. But it is not connected with the display. Just here a heavy battery is installed, the capacity of which is 5000 mAh. Its recharging is carried out through the USB Type-C port. As you can guess, the connection of the charger is required every two days, not more often.

Now widespread began to receive on-screen fingerprint scanners. However, in the manufacture of Huawei Mate 20X, it was decided to save. Here the fingerprint sensor should be found on the back panel. There is also a triple camera. It has excellent optics manufactured by Leica. As for the matrices, they have a resolution of 40, 20 and 8 megapixels. With the help of a triple camera, you can realize a variety of ideas. Want to fit more space into the frame? No problem! Do you want to blur the background? And the device copes with this task easily! Even shooting in low light conditions is possible - the main module, which has an f / 1.8 aperture, helps out. Of course, 4K video is also available, albeit only at 30 frames per second. You can also use this smartphone for 3D scanning of objects.

Well, how does the front camera show itself? Also from the best side. Shooting it is using a 24-megapixel matrix. Special algorithms will eliminate the flaws of the skin, which without it can be seen without any difficulty. The aperture here is disclosed to the value of f / 2.0, which can be considered a good parameter. Still it is impossible not to note the amount of permanent memory, which is 128 GB here. It seems that even the most frequent shooting selfies will not score free space to the eyeballs.However, there is always the opportunity to use a memory card! But you’ll have to look not for microSD, but for the NM Card - Huawei’s own development.

The operating system here is Android 9.0, which is good news. And the smartphone has received a top-end processor - this is the Kirin 980, half of which cores operate at a clock frequency of 2.6 GHz. To access the Internet, LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac networks are used. Motorists will enjoy the presence of a dual GPS chip, due to which navigation problems are practically excluded. To transmit sound to a wireless headset, Bluetooth 5.0 is used, supplemented by support for the aptX digital codec. Finally, there is also an NFC chip that helps in contactless payment. Yes, even the IR transmitter is present here, thanks to which you can replace the lost TV remote with a smartphone!

In a word, it is one more device, in which it is necessary to look for lacks under a microscope if to forget about the sizes and resolution of the display. However, one of them comes to mind immediately. This lack of water protection. No, it is here, but the IP53 certificate says that the device is not afraid of only rain and other splashes. It turns out that it is better not to take it to the beach, to the pool or to the bathroom.

OPPO RX17 Pro

Smartphone rating for selfies: 4.8

Another smartphone for selfies in our ranking, which has a drop-like cutout. This means that it corresponds to the frameless design. Some area is preserved just under the display. Yes, and the dimensions did not allow either to embed the touch keys, or to put the manufacturer's logo.

This device is the flagship operating on Android 8.1. Not the latest version of the operating system, but it is also unlikely to become obsolete in the coming years. On sale you can find at least three color options for the device. All of them are very atypical. Now a similar color of the back panel is called a chameleon. Alas, one drawback immediately catches the eye. There is no usual 3.5 mm mini-jack here. If your headphones are wired, you will have to use a USB Type-C adapter.

Modern USB-interface allows you to insert the cable the first time, which was previously unthinkable. He is also able to pass through a high amperage. Thanks to this, the manufacturer managed to implement a very fast charging technology - the charge level reaches 92% in just half an hour. As for the battery capacity, it is 3700 mAh.

Such an expensive smartphone, it would seem, should have a top-end processor. However, the choice of the manufacturer OPPO RX17 Pro fell on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710, which cost it not too expensive. It is possible that with such a chipset the interface would regularly hang up. But this is not happening. However, it is not necessary to be surprised, because the display built in here has a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. For a 6.4-inch diagonal it is very bad, but not space. By the way, the screen was created using AMOLED technology, so there are no questions to color rendition, and the user is unlikely to have at least some complaints in terms of power consumption. And the display can boast a built-in fingerprint scanner! It cannot be called super-fast, but before that you don’t have to reach with a finger, which would also take time.

The smartphone supports all modern high-speed networks. Connecting to them is useful for uploading photos and videos to social networks. And you definitely want to share so impressive material! Photos are created using a triple camera.The main module has only a 12-megapixel matrix, but then the light enters it after passing through the aperture, opened to a value of f / 1.5. One of the auxiliary modules offers a 20-megapixel sensor, but its aperture is only f / 2.6. As a result, the user gets the opportunity to create photos in a variety of genres. To store them are 128 GB of permanent memory. If this is not enough, then a microSD card slot will come to the rescue.

If we talk about the front camera, then it uses almost the same module that is built into the above smartphone. Its resolution is 25 megapixels, which is enough to create the most detailed selfie pictures.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 64GB

Smartphone rating for selfies: 4.7

If we talk about Samsung smartphones, many of them have wonderful cameras. Including delight can cause and "frontalka". And it's not about the newest flagships, for which they ask a lot of money. Even Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which has been on the market for years, has a worthy arsenal of features. This phablet only got an 8 megapixel front camera. However, this does not prevent her from creating great pictures. Most owners of the smartphone like wide-angle optics, thanks to which a decent space is placed in the frame. Also, it should be noted the possibility of shooting video in 1440p resolution. You can even take photos and videos somewhere in the pool, as the device received water protection according to IP68 standard - the South Korean manufacturer claims that its creation will withstand a five-meter dive. If it happens at sea, do not forget to wipe the machine dry, including both of its connectors, otherwise salt may cause some damage.

If we talk about the main camera, then it is double. At the same time, its second lens has a smaller viewing angle. Due to this, there is implemented a double optical zoom. This may well be useful in country and foreign trips, when not all sights can get as close as possible. Still it is impossible not to notice that the main module is supplemented with optical image stabilization. The camera shows itself well in terms of video shooting - the picture is written with a frequency of 30 frames / s and a resolution of 2160p. The light on the main matrix enters through the f / 1.7 aperture, so it is unlikely that you will have problems even in the evening hours of the day.

Samsung has almost all its smartphones endowed with AMOLED-display. Galaxy Note 8, of course, is no exception to the rule. The resolution of a 6.3-inch screen is 2960x1440 pixels. This is a great option! You will definitely appreciate it when looking at photos or the above 4K video.

It must be admitted that the smartphone turned out to be heavy. Its weight is 195 g. Under the case of this device is a top-end processor of its own production. There is an option with a Qualcomm chip, but it is shipped to North America. Even under the case are hidden 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. However, this concerns only the version we are considering. There are options that have 128 and even 256 GB of internal storage. But they are more expensive. It seems that in this case the amount of memory is not very important, because in this phablet you can easily insert a microSD memory card.

Most of all, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 differs from other manufacturers' smartphones in support of the stylus. And not just support! This accessory is included, there is even a separate slot in the case for it.The system is able to recognize many gradations of pressing with this stylus, thanks to which the phablet is very much liked by those who like to draw.

To access the global web, the gadget uses Wi-Fi 802.11ac and LTE-A modules of the 16th category. Also, the product supports Bluetooth 5.0, mainly needed to connect a wireless headset. There is also an NFC chip, the main purpose of which is not to be told. Well, a kind of bonus can be considered ANT +. This technology allows you to receive measurement results from various medical sensors.

Perhaps, many readers of iexpert.techinfus.com/en/en/ will definitely not make any claims to this smartphone. Yes, this is not the freshest representative of our rating - it went on sale in September 2017. But how good he is even now! Not everyone will like only its very large size. And the curved side edges of the display are now more annoying than pleasing. Well, we must not forget that if this update even upgrade to the ninth version of Android, it will not be soon.

Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium

Smartphone rating for selfies: 4.7

As you know, Sony is now the leader in the production of mobile camera modules. In particular, it was the Japanese who first began to create cameras with their own memory layer, thanks to which short-term video recording with a frequency of up to 960 frames / s was realized. And this is exactly the camera that got the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium smartphone. It must be said that this is the most expensive representative of our rating - over 60 thousand rubles are asked for it. Should I give that kind of money? What other features does the built-in camera have? How powerful is the smartphone itself? Let's find out the answers to all these questions.

This smartphone for selfie can be used even on the beach, even in the pool. Do not take it only in the sauna. Of course, moisture protection according to the IP68 standard will save when the smartphone is plunged to a certain depth, but the high temperature at the same high humidity may well be harmful. It should also be noted that the device can solve a variety of tasks. The Android 8.0 operating system and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor help it with this. The power reserve is more than enough to gain over 250 thousand points in AnTuTu Benchmark. It turns out that on such a smartphone, you can run any games, lowering the graphics settings is not required.

Under the case of the device are hidden 6 GB of RAM. There are also 64 GB of built-in storage. If you actively use the capabilities of built-in cameras, then this will seem a little. Fortunately, there is a slot for a microSD memory card, to which you can transfer all media files.

The high price tag of this device is not only due to the fact that Sony products are always expensive. The fact is that this is one of the few smartphones, the display of which has a full 4K-resolution. But not all people need such a high resolution - it is impossible not to recognize. Someone will surely say that it would be better for the Japanese to produce a screen using a different technology. Agree, now when you buy such an expensive smartphone, you expect to get a device with AMOLED-display. Here you will find an IPS-panel, which does not differ in special energy efficiency. By the way, the screen is covered with fifth-generation Gorilla Glass protective glass, it is impossible to find fault with this.

This gadget is powered by the Snapdragon 845 top processor.It was impossible to do without it, because you need to process a picture with a very high resolution. Another part of the device included a fingerprint scanner, triggered in a split second - you should look for it on the back panel. With regard to Internet access, it is provided by wireless modules LTE-A 18th category and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Not forgotten by the Japanese and NFC-chip. And how could it not be built in if Sony had audio and video equipment with a similar chip? But, of course, most often this technology will be used for contactless payment. The device also boasts the support of the fifth version of Bluetooth 5.0, which allows you to hope for a stable connection with the wireless headset, not to mention the transmission of sound in near-ideal quality.

But let's talk about cameras. The high cost of Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium is also due to them. Not every smartphone has a dual module, the matrix of which has a resolution of 19 and 12 megapixels. It should be noted that the main sensor has a size of 1 / 2.3 inches - as in compact cameras! At night, a 12-megapixel matrix is ​​used, with a f / 1.6 aperture. There is also an optical stabilization, which is useful during video shooting. By the way, the video is written in 4K-resolution. The only pity is that the frequency does not exceed 30 frames / s. As for shooting with a frequency of 960 frames / s, then this mode is activated during the action-scene. At the same time shooting lasts only a few seconds, and the resolution is reduced to Full HD. Solid restrictions, but a few years ago it was impossible to imagine that smartphones would learn how to shoot a video within a few seconds at such a high frequency.

Everything is in order here with the front camera. It also has optical stabilization, which allows you to comfortably stream directly from the street, without using any other devices (although the monopod still does not hurt). The resolution of the matrix installed here is 13 Mp, which is sufficient in most cases. The aperture is open to f / 2.0.

It remains to add that the smartphone easily gains in benchmarks close to record points. The downside of the medal is its weight - not everyone needs a 236-gram apparatus. And what is the reason for such weight? After all, there is no particularly capacious battery - the buyer is waiting for a 3540 mAh battery. Yes, and full water protection is unlikely to seriously affect this parameter.

LG G7 ThinQ 64GB

Smartphone rating for selfie: 4.6

In our ratings, there are fewer references to LG smartphones. Unfortunately, this South Korean company is going through hard times. More precisely, they are going through a mobile unit. His creations are more expensive than competitors, while offering less opportunities. For example, LG G7 ThinQ is estimated at 40 thousand rubles. Should I buy this smartphone for selfie, if the models discussed above are sold for about the same money?

Let's start with the fact that this device has dust and moisture protection according to the military standard MIL-STD 810G. If you want to use your smartphone in the bathroom or pool regularly, then this is a good choice. But practice shows that with the IP68 certificate, the device shows itself well in the water. Therefore, the military standard can not be called a special advantage. It does not cause particularly joyful feelings and the operating system, which is used here as Android 8.0. It is possible that in the future will be updated to the "nine". But when will this “future” come?

However, let's talk about the positive aspects of the device.First of all, the device surprises with its weight not exceeding 163 g. We have already got used to the fact that flagships are usually heavier. In this case, the device in any case can not be called small. On its front panel there was a place for a 6.1-inch display. The aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 allows you to comfortably work with two applications simultaneously. Well, the diagonal suggests that many buyers will use the smartphone to watch videos, less and less including for this TV. There is no claim to the resolution either, it is 3120x1440 pixels. Each square inch of this screen consists of 563 pixels! In this regard, the device is second only to the display of the above device from Sony. However, this LCD panel cannot be called ideal. The fact is that it was created using IPS technology. Agree, for the money I want to get a device with AMOLED-screen, characterized by high energy efficiency.

The smartphone has a monobrow. For some, it will be a drawback, but many are already beginning to get used to the shaped cuts at the top of the display. Formally, the device can be called frameless. But in fact, there is a framework here - the screen does not occupy a record percentage of the area of ​​the front panel. But for a separate DAC and excellent stereo speakers, the gadget can only be praised. Allowed to listen to music and with the help of headphones. That is important, any. Wired connects easily without any adapter, as there is a 3.5-millimeter audio jack. Also, no one bothers to listen to music in a wireless headset. The sound is transmitted to it via Bluetooth 5.0, and even when using the aptX HD codec.

As a processor, eight-core Snapdragon 845 is used here, which has been mentioned more than once in this rating. Even under the case of the device are hidden 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. The volume of the latter could be a serious disadvantage if it were not for the slot for a microSD card. In the camera settings it is recommended to immediately enable video recording to external media.

To the rear of the camera, you are unlikely to find fault. It has two lenses. Under one of them is a matrix, the size of which is 1/3 inch - this is as close as possible to the sensors with which compact cameras are equipped. Also, the main module has a f / 1.6 aperture. Already thanks to him, the background is blurred very nicely, plus electronics help. Also so wide open aperture contributes to high-quality shooting in low light conditions. Not forgotten by the manufacturer and the optical stabilization system. As for the resolution, it is the same for both matrices - 16 Mp.

On the front panel of the device is a front camera lens. Its main advantage is a wide angle of view. Not only you, but your other half or even all your friends and colleagues will get into the frame. The luminosity of this camera is also very decent, the diaphragm is open to the value of f / 1.9. Well, the resolution is 8 megapixels. Do not be afraid of such a low value. But all the pixels have a large physical size! And why do you need high-resolution pictures, if they all go exclusively to social networks?

Perhaps the device deserves the money spent on it. Although it is better to look for a modification that has a slightly larger amount of operational and permanent memory. It will have a slightly higher price tag, and the work will be provided by the same 3000 mAh battery. By the way, it uses a USB 3.1 Type-C connector. This indicates not only the upcoming convenience, but also a high speed of data exchange when connected to a computer. Not forgotten by the South Korean manufacturer and fast fingerprint scanner - it should be found on the back.

Xiaomi Mi Mix3 6 / 128GB

Smartphone rating for selfie: 4.5

At one time, the company Xiaomi urged many manufacturers to create frameless smartphones. This was done by releasing a model called Mi Mix. In the future, she received several sequels, and each time the screen occupied a large area of ​​the front panel. When designing the Xiaomi Mi Mix3, which fell into our rating, the Chinese even abandoned the figure cutout for the front camera. The lenses are hidden inside the smartphone! To access the front-end, you need to move the two halves of the device relative to each other. In short, Xiaomi returns fashion to the sliders!

Immediately we note one obvious lack of design. Sliding halves are not allowed to give the device a full water protection. It turns out that this model is not afraid of only rain. If the smartphone is under water, it is unlikely that it will continue to operate stably. The rest of the gadget does not cause any complaints. The mechanism is working properly. And there is no doubt that it will last for many years.

The ninth version of Android is used as the operating system here, the most recent at the moment. The software works with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 eight-core processor, mentioned more than once in the course of this article. He is not difficult to run the game, no matter how advanced graphics they have. Another user will be able to keep content in the background of an arbitrarily large number of applications, for which he should thank 6 GB of RAM. Also under the body of the smartphone hiding 128 GB of permanent memory. This is quite a normal volume, even considering the lack of a slot for a microSD card.

The image here is displayed on the AMOLED-display, the diagonal of which reaches 6.39 inches. When watching a movie or photos, you can literally enjoy the rich color reproduction. Ideal black colors, low power consumption - all these definitions most closely correspond to this screen. Its resolution is 2340x1080 pixels. Thumbs up. Especially when you consider that the device is sold not for 45-50 thousand rubles.

Well, what characteristics does the very aforementioned front camera have? First, its module is double. The main matrix has a 24-megapixel resolution. This is more than enough to create detailed images, which can then be printed in any large format. As for the auxiliary matrix, its resolution is only 2 Mp. However, her task is to help the system blur the background, nothing more. Secondly, the front camera has a very wide open aperture. This allows you to shoot even in the evening. However, do not expect a perfect result - it is not the best optics and the small physical size of pixels that affects.

Paradox. The rear camera has a lower resolution, but it also shows a more interesting result. The secret of this lies not only in the larger size of the main matrix (there are also two here), which is 1 / 2.55 inches. The manufacturer has provided the lens with f / 1.8 aperture. In short, the camera does not lack light. By the way, the second module is quite working here. Its lens has a smaller angle of view. So, the user is waiting for a double optical zoom. However, it produces images of the best quality.This is to blame for the lack of optical stabilization, which is why the system has to make the shutter speed as fast as possible. Also this module suffers from the size of the matrix - it is 1 / 3.4 inches.

We can safely say that this smartphone has both advantages and disadvantages. One feels that the manufacturer had to save. However, the number of positive sides is very large. For example, it is impossible not to rejoice at the presence of an NFC chip. Usually, Xiaomi company forgets about it, since in China, contactless payments work on a different system. There is also support for Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX digital codec. Well, to access the global web, use Wi-Fi modules 802.11ac and LTE. To connect the charger used USB Type-C. Alas, there are no other connectors. Stock up on a wireless headset or get ready to use an adapter.

Conclusion

Now you understand that decent quality photos is expensive. Of course, budget smartphones can also offer a good front camera. Sometimes they even have the function of blurring the background. But if you want to receive pictures that are asked to be printed out in large format, you will have to spend money on a very expensive device. The secret of such smartphones for selfies is not only in the chic design of the front camera itself, but also in thoughtful algorithms, thanks to which the quality of photos is noticeably improved.
