I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this idea, but:
* The Ultrapixel camera was quite good and performed well in low light.
* The new 20MP camera is terrible at low light.
* The Ultrapixel camera is now on the front.
THEREFORE: Has anyone tested using the front camera as the main camera, especially in low light situations? If so, can you post sample shots comparing the rear and front cams? If not, can someone perform this test and post samples?
Obvious downsides: you can't compose the shot very easily, but I'm really on the fence, and if I can get usable low-light shots with the front camera, then I'll feel more comfortable buying this phone.

I love my Vario2, to an almost unhealthy degree, but the awful quality of pics taken with the camera is such a let down. I had a SE K750 with a 2mp camera and the quality of those snaps were amazing. Part of the reason I waited for the Vario 2 was so that I didn't have to trade down camera quality. It doesn't matter the lighting or settings I use - everything comes out in really bad quality
Is this a software thing or a hardware? Is there maybe a better camera application out there somewhere, or a way to modd it?
Any help appreciated!!!

bump - sorry I hate it when people do this.....
I thought the camera had bad quality at first--until I read the manual about the position of the little switch by the lens. One position is a macro zoom position for shooting extra close range shots. If the switch is in that position, normal pictures will look blurry.
Does anyone else here have poor camera quality, specifically the front facing camera? I feel as if the focus is set wrong, I cannot even get a clear picture of myself or anything.
I may be wrong, but I think the FFC is fixed focus.
I tested it in the store where I bought it and it was okay even though the definition was poor, but at home in the evening with low lighting it's pretty much unusable.
IMHO, manufacturers should scrap the back camera in tablets and only put a single, good quality, front-facing one.
You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the OnePlus 3T performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
If light is very good, acceptable selfies. Indoors, even with good light, usually very blurry shots
Indoors, nothing but TV for light and taken straight from Allo
At low light in front of my monitor:
beautify mode of the cam/app is the best, makes my ugly face so sweet !
for real, its pretty decent (the front cam).
With 16mp front camera the photos look crisp and sharp. Nothing bad to say about it.
Seems fine with or without beauty mode it's almost same for me
absolutely amazing with the 16m front camera

I recently went on a trip with a selfie stick...front facing camera turned out to be pretty bad...they all turned out kind of like this one:

Some look better than others, but everything looks soft and out of focus...is this normal?

The front facing camera has fixed focus, made so that the subject is in focus when the phone is at arms length. this photo looks like it was taken with a selfie stick so you were not in focus.

Well that explains it...are you aware of any work around for this? I imagine the limitation is the software.

I believe that it it a hardware limitation, so I'm not sure how a software upgrade or any workaround might help significantly. Maybe you might want to try the back camera instead or use the front camera at arms length, or be somehow lucky to find a clip-on lens that can either increase the camera's field while somehow still keeping the correct focus distance or a clip-on lens that will correct the focus when the device is on the selfie stick.
Good!
The front camera is really good. Clean and bright selfies. Love it.
Amazing, outstanding camera quality...
Such a awesome phone. It have best camera that is very useful for taking high resolution selfies.
low light sux
Well lit ok
Camera driver
How to develop camera driver? What are the things one should know for device driver development?
What can you say to camera?
I think everythin is amazing on this smartphone, but the camera is not that good.
I do not know if its because of the software. But what do you think? Pro's and Con's of the camera.
Con's:
i think OIS
OIS is missing on alot of camera sensors especially those 20mp+ phones, Its not a biggie unless the camera holder has shaky hands. Also, we can't mourn over LG's signature Laser AF technology either.
Personally, the pixel size being smaller is a big hit on the head for a 16mp sensor. Moreover, it disturbs the low light/iso photography as well. LeEco's own camera software applies some kind of smoothing filter to eat alot of detail on the compromise of noise removal.
I've taken pictures from Cyanogenmod 13 and they are alot better than EUI camera.
Ok thank you.
What is a gold camera App for shooting pictures?
5.9 for China adds EIS to camera. I am betting when we get that update pictures and video will look better.
The quality is bad when u zoom in the photos, especially in low light condition

I've been taking a lot of photos as of late, both with the front and rear cameras. I've noticed for a while that the selfie camera doesn't really produce clear and crisp images the way my old 2XL did. I've come across a thread where some folks have encountered the same issue, and wondering if anyone else here is experiencing this?
I've included a link that best shows exactly what I'm talking about, although the person isn't me in the thread.
If the camera is this bad I hope it can be fixed.

I have the same issue and it is frustrating, I also tried with 3rd party apps but still, the selfie images are kinda blurry. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
I've noticed the same compared to my 4xl. The selfies under lower than normal light come out a bit blurry or not as good as I remember them on my previous phone.
The front camera is a fixed focus lens. Physically it has a sharp spot and only that spot is sharp, the rest of it is all processing.
No real way around physics and lack of autofocus.

This. Some older models had front facing camera autofocus, P6 does not (unfortunately)

Do other phone manufacturers have this design, or is it only google?
