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 Samsung Galaxy S7 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The front facing camera is permanently fixated on things in the background while things (faces) at selfie distances are out of focus. This defeats the purpose of the front facing camera. It doesn't seem to adjust its focus ever...
However, I do like the raise your hand or say cheese to take a picture function.
Noticed the same thing, pictures on face are a blurry mess compared to my s6.
Yep noticed too, and I even made a comparison with the S6, which resulted sharper..
I have an S7 and my wife has the S7 edge and the front camera is the best we ever had.
my sister was complaining the same thing but it thought she was being nit picky as she just switched form Apple but i guess it might be a known issue then.
Front camera is totaly out of focus! Has anyone else noticed that? A flagship phone shall never have such low level defect!

Welcome to the party, check out the S7 camera thread and you will see that many have this issue.
The front camera is utilising the center focus mode. Mine is working great. Sharps selfies and lots of details. Look at the eyes and the baby's shirt that is in focus. Tey are sharp and clear.

Not impressed, blurry snapshots.
took this one today with my front camera I'm very satisfied with its quality
extremely disappointed with the front facing camera. very blurry selfies.
blurry and feels like the beauty filter is on eventhough its off.
my s6 was way more realistic.
Camera too wide inducing unwanted distortion and even with all the beauty feature turned off, image still look very paint like.
I'm interested by this topic. Any sample? The picture above is not really sharp. I hesitate with the One Plus 3.
Thanks

you havent tried other phones have you
I've created a thread on Samsung forum regarding this. Front camera has fixed focus to infinity instead of 40-50cm and software libs apply a crazy blur on faces and skin tones especially when iso goes up. It's incredible, I use screenshot of viewfinder to have a better picture than the shooted one!

Hello Gliders,
what do you think about photo quality with Captivate Glide?
I have to say I'm barely satisfied with it. Pictures taken with it are good, but they totally can't win a comparison with those taken with my old phone (a Nokia N97 mini with a 5 MP camera).
You'll find two photos attached just to notice the difference (and I can totally assure that difference is way more evident in daylight photos.. Nokia, sadly, rocks.) The first pic is taken with Glide (Camera FX is the app), the second one with Nokia.

Did you experience the same?
Are you satisfied with your camera photo quality?
Any fix or app or tool or anything to improve photo quality?
Google and xda weren't my friend this time.
try it with the default app. i have found a lot of 3rd party camera apps do not take as good of pics as the default camera. a lot of them crop and enlarge a photo that the camera is more than capable of taking at native resolution.
If you ask me the glide is bad at close ups but if you take a pic of like a mountain ut does great but you could make sure in the settings that the resloloution is set to its highest mine has changed on me before
sent from my captivate glide
I think there is something wrong with your camera, maybe its dirty or something, for my part i am very pleased with the quality of the glide's camera, here's some examples:

I have to admit, your pics are very good. I don't get the same quality.
Are they taken with the native app?
Any suggestion about what I could do to improve mine?
I have inception v2 rom and those pictures were taken with the stock camera app. As for advices, always touch to focus before taking a picture, make sure the lens is clean and most important of all, don't shake while taking the shot. But you may be unlucky, all the digializers are not made equal and on a small one like that, the tolerance is pretty big, or maybe I got lucky with mine. But your picture looks more unfocused than grainy (little coloured dots), so I think your digitalizer is fine. Try touch to focus and stay really steady. Sorry for bad engish
I was using Camera Zoom FX for a while too. I bought the app when the Google Market was having their 10 cent app specials. After a while I noticed that the pictures were always out of focus and appeared grainy and it was very difficult to get a nice clear photo. Later on I decided to try going back to the stock camera app (I am using Osimood) and noticed a huge difference in the quality of the photos. At the very least I found that it was easier to take good clear photos with the stock camera app. Once in a while the photos from Camera Zoom FX would look good but it usually took me quite a few tries before I got the picture that I was satisfied with. If I get a chance I will post two different pictures for you to see.
I'll try, but I don't think I'll get pics as good as yours. Let's see.
Thank you )
this one was taken with my glide. i think the phone has an excellent camera. i have found that many, if not all of the 3rd party camera apps all come out blurry. mainly because they take a photo at a certain resolution and enlarge it. check your resolution on camerafx.

pictures looks great ... but there is no detail everything is melted and blended together ... too much software tweaks ... unfortunate - when buying I was expecting something better
Yes. I noticed even viewing Online Demos on my Phone that the S6 Photos were sharper and more detailed than S7.
The S7 in good light seems more similar in Detail to iPhone 6.
Not sure how S7 Camera got such a high rating.
If shooting low light it has advantages but does not seem to equal S6 in good light.
"Three iPhones and a Stripper walk into a Bar."..oh wait...no iPhone jokes...
This camera is unreal. Where my Sony Z3 would struggle this phone shows it's mustard incredibly well. Impeccable detail that is on par with some micro four thirds cameras out there. I'm very very impressed.
I think the pictures are fantastic. Way better than my SGS4 I switched from.
They seem to be the same as my S6 in quality, but better in low light, which is about what I expected. The S7 camera is just a touch better than the S6's from what I can see. Not sure what the other guys are getting, but this is on par with my S6 for sure.
COmpare this to my old phone, the Xperia Z3, the photo quality is much better despite its 12MP camera. The optical stabalization is awesome. i can zoom into an object and the object will stay relatively stable.
wish it was better
by the way, be sure to check out my website
The pictures and videos looks great on the phone but when transferred to PC or uploaded it is not the same. This is because of the AMOLED.
i just moved from lumia 950 to s7 and im very disappointed with pic quality , but apps make it up i guess
Show us the pictures, including why you like the camera or why you are disappointed by it.

The best low light camera phone with f1.8 aperture. Should I skip the DSLR?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Using pro mode
To avoid Samsung high postprocessing with extreme software sharpening i'm using RAW and than convert it with Photoshop. There is much more details in RAW so, picture quality is better.
Try Snap Camera...

After all the hype and rave reviews about the camera, I thought I'd be getting a DSLR quality camera. Using the default settings, the camera isn't that good and overprocesses everything. Pro mode fixes that and RAW photography is excellent though.
I haven't thoroughly tested the phone, I just got it 8-9 hours ago, but initial impressions is it's light years better then my old LG G3.

Live focus has improved!
https://i.imgur.com/W3dWNlz.jpg
The colours really pop out next to the S9, live focus is great on both cameras, the wide lenses are fantastic.
I'm a little disappointed with the selfie camera, it forces skin smoothing effects and shifts the colour temperature too, trying to make it "pretty" I don't need the AI to pre-edit stuff for me unless I specifically want it to, and there seems to be no way to disable that.
Why HDR+ is always grayed out ?
I can't believe how good the camera quality is coming from a note 9, although it wasn't hard to beat. All photos of my daughter were blurry and looked really bad. On the s10+ they're blur free and also the HDR function works so good, far less blown out highlights and sunny day shots look awesome.
I'm very impressed so far!
Two photos I love taken on my S10+!

I had the S8+ and then S9+ before this and I'm really happy with the camera but in my opinion the low light shots on the S10+ actually seem a fair bit more noisy than the S9+. I'm not talking pitch black but just as the sun is starting to drop in the late afternoon.

Exactly, even indoors shots have this "blurriness". Daytime shots under the Sun look fine.
Is there a big difference between the SD855 and Exynos 9820 camera's?
i dunno how you guys are all getting nice pictures out of the s10 + my s10+ everytime i take a picture of my dog.. the fur is blurry looks like a camera from like 5 years ago.. the selling point was the camera for me and so far it looks absolutely like crap =/
@XDA_RealLifeReview have you noticed that samsung is overexposing the front cam pictures which make it look weird and grainy but as soon as u turn to front cam video it appears much more natural and true to life.
But the back cam is pretty damn good!!
Anyway of reducing the overexposure, i have already disabled all beauty modes and i have tried that brightness slider but it keeps resetting everytime.
Beach day!
Not sure why my pics upload that way. I can't seem to fix the orientation.

Hello folks,
I'm pretty unimpressed with the cameras on the Mi 9 SE.
Landscape pictures look great but as soon as I make close up pictures or zoom in the pictures look washed out. The entire Miui camera app is just unusable and all pictures look bad.
The GCam port is way better but software can't fix everything.
As you can see in the pictures below, it looks washed out and the color if the creature aren't powerful. And I have that with nearly every picture I take.

AI is off and HDR is on but it isn't sharp and looks blurry kinda like a beauty filter but the beauty filter is also disabled.
And this picture is taken with the GCam port.
Any tips why some picture look washed out?
Honestly Mi 9 SE takes more sharper photos compare to some flagship phones. Clean your camera lens before taking pictures because it becomes dirty easily. Keep camera frame at 4:3. Play with camera settings like saturation and contrast. I keep everything stock and results are amazing even close up shots. In this price range it is the best phone for its camera performance, just look at camera comparisons at youtube.
Terrible camera
I see its an old post but i am surprised nobody else responded with recognision. A month ago i bought an Mi9SE for its camera and i have been nothing but dissapointed. Its blurry, that just wraps it all up. My old xperia Z5 compact takes better pictures.
I havent taken one picture on which i could seperate the wimpers of someones eyes no matter what i do. I had the same idea, as if there is a hidden beautifier that just disrupts it all even when you turn the actual beautifier off.
Did you got any further with this?

Hey, not really. Apparently it's not only on my device. I returned my phone. It's just super disappointing.

Sorry for these words but "Blind" peope will suck always. But I help you. Gcam 7.2 for mi9se got updates nowdays. My s8's camera is killed for example
And, I am super happy with this phone, with kowalski's custom kernel and Bliss rom, + my optimizations, the phone has good vattery and super fluid. I use 78HZ display. After I unlocked tge phone, feels like I have a totally different phone
I reached 7h screen on time on 4G when I used 60hz display.

Hi,
thinking about getting an fold4,
i'm wondering if anyone could share some full jpg/dng samples? Just landscape or city scene or something
Hard to find some, i just found some processed/resized images here and there in review.
Would make me happy
Thanks & have a nice sunday
I've actually being comparing the photos from the 4 with my old S21U. Essentially the S21U shots are a tiny bit better, but not enough 4 is surprisingly close. Excluding x10 optical zoom ofcourse.
No perceivable shutter lag, though AF isn't as quick as on the S21 U, especially for close up subjects.
Overall am very happy with the shots out of the Fold.

thanks a lot,
the grass is not really there, just a muddy greenish plane
but hdr and 3x zoom, still seems quite wide for 3x lens.
the second shot looks better, but. even there is dithering?/ too less color resolution?
portrait mode else looks quite ok to get photoraphs without too much crazy-going colors?
s20 ultra pictures always looked so unrealistic.

If you are talking about the sun set shot, the exposure was unbelievably challenging, I'm actually really happy with what the camera was able to produce. To the naked eye, all you can see is blinding sunlight .
Here are some 'normal' shots, the over warm colors is simply a Samsung thing....see below, wide angle, normal, and x3. These shots are basically the same as what my S21 U would do. Clearly no x10 optical.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the cameras on the Fold 4.
I also have the S21U and I think the HDR is better on the Fold 4.
Maybe the CPU.
Anyways I took good looking pictures, that was a thing I was worried about
Next time I'm gonna take both my phones to make a real comparison.
Here is some samples in 12 mpx.
