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 Note 9 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Unless you have really good light, selfie's aren't the best. Ridiculous amount of face smoothing I just can't seem to get rid of. Even with the settings turned off, it just does smoothing so it looks terrible.
Rear camera is good.
I have a big issue with my front camera...
When I try to take a selfie, if behind the subject there's a light(natural or artificial), the photo become blurry.
I compared my device with one exposed in a store and only my device has this issue(the settings were the same on both devices)....
Anyone has/had the same problem? If yes, how did you solve it?
I've already tried a factory reset but the problem still remain...
Gcam mod on the Note 9 takes considerably better selfie pix than the stock camera. No smoothing and a lot more detail.
Unfortunately the selfies are terrible. I have tried Android pie on the note 9 and I can say with that OS upgrade the selfie cam does get marginally better thank goodness.
The selfie cam in my opinion is bad quality. The photos are usually blurry except you are stood very still and have very good light. I think perfomance is not good enough for a €/£1000+ device and hopefully a software upgrade will fix the issue particularly the time it takes to focus
The gcam port makes the quality so much better

Exynos or Snapdragon?
Care to share which exact gcam version are you using? Thanks!

The version I'm using is on the XDA gcam port hub

I have this phone for a day and I'm experiencing the same problem. All selfies look unnatural. Everything is too smooth, and blurry, just bad quality I think.
The only complain I have about the front camera is the angle. With my old LG G6 I could easily get the whole family in while talking with relatives and friends on video call.
With the Note 9 I can barely get myself in.
Someone has noticed improvements in selfie quality after oneui 2.5 update?

I'm still waiting for the update as I'm from Canada, Otherwise, I've had my N9 snapdragon for less then a month and I've used Urnyx's 7.3 v2.4: GCam & PixelCam_7.3_V5.0 by jairo_rossi and those camera apps are stable and work better than the stock camera (One UI 2.1)

I didn't tried to take selfie since the update
Quality
Selfie quality was superb in oreo 8.1, I don't see much quality after updating the phone to Android 9 or 10 versions
The self-camera on the Note 9 is actually pretty good quality when compared to most laptop and 3rd party USB Webcams. I have use it for video conferencing via Zoom, MS Teams and Cisco. All of the time the picture quality from my Note 9's selfie-camera seems to be much better quality than others who are using a laptop or traditional USB webcam
Hi guys. I've been looking at phones for a while. Cause I needed a new phone.
Mi A3 is my first priority. Mi A3 has a 48mp sony imx586 sensor on main camera.
Xiaomi mi9t has almost the same sensor too (imx582 (only difference is 4k fps rating) )
I examined and compared the camera of mi a3 and mi9t. and some other phones which has imx586 or imx582 sensor. I see an obvious difference quality. What could be the reason of this difference and can i do something for improve MI A3 camera quality as good as MI9T?
And there is an other difference too. Slow motion recording. Mia3 can record 240fps video at 720p and Mi9T can record 960fps video at 720p and 1080p. why this difference stems.
After all if I used wrong words for this thread I am sorry for my English.
Mi 9t front camera is awful.
586 and 582 are same sensors, 582 just has better videos features. As far as camera quality goes mi9t has sd 730 and mia3 has sd 665, there is a image processor in mobile soc's and the one on sd 730 is better, means it will process the images better. Although the main thing that differs in photos in colors and dynamic range which is highly controlled by software so as mi9t is expensive its software processing is better but better software processing can also be achieved on mi a3 by installing google camera, as of now we don't have any mia3 specific google cam but soon we will get it hopefully.

okay I get it. This is because of proccessor. Does this mean that google camera is more stable than stock camera as processing photos? Because result photos are better than stock camera.
Hi Oppo Forum,
After using a Nokia Lumia 1020 for over 5 years, I had been on the look out for a good camera phone (something that can come close to the 1020 legend but not cost a bomb). Almost decided on the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom as it is an attractive package! However based on my research, I know some camera functionality is missing for now. Keen to know if it will come in a software update. These are:
1. Video recording using the Wide Angle and Telescopic lenses (in addition to the main 48 MPx lens).
2. Super Slow motion recording at greater than 240 fps (up to 960 fps). Even lower phones like the Honor View 20 have it already!
Would love to buy the phone if both of these are assured in future updates!

So no chance then?
BTW, read somewhere that video works on the Telephoto Lens. Is that the case?

On this site itself: https://www.xda-developers.com/oppo-reno-10x-zoom-review/
"Unfortunately, OPPO doesn’t allow users to record videos with the ultra-wide-angle camera. Videos can be recorded with the telephoto camera, but again, the 125mm focal length limits the usefulness of this option."

The phone's camera is a beast in my opinion (ask any other user) and about the slow-mo, the phone can do 480 fps at 720p and 960fps in lower phones are interpolated fake frames and not real 960fps. The camera itself should have inbuilt cache memory to capture such 960fps and imx586 in the oppo , OnePlus 7 and redmi k20 pro doesn't have it. The redmi k20 pro can do 960fps but interpolated frames and it looks bad.(I tested it personally).
Honor 9X Camera Review
Every year Honor pushes the boundaries of what we can expect from budget devices with their X-Series phones. As we approach the holidays, Honor launches their newest addition to the family, the Honor 9X. Powered by the Kirin 710F, the Honor 9X brings a few newer features that set this phone above others in its class. A full-screen notch-less display is made possible by the motorized pop-up camera that houses the selfie sensor.
Focusing on Photography
With the 9X, Honor put a great deal of attention into the photography aspect of this phone. The device is fitted with a 48MP triple camera that includes an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The f/1.8 aperture is paired with the half-inch sensor to produce super clear photos. The AIS super night mode promises improve your low-light photos. Observe some of our initial sample shots here.
Honor 9X Camera Review - Mid-Ranger with Flagship Versatility [Video]
The Honor 9X is one of our favorite budget phones of 2019. While the Honor 9X implemented lots of great features into their device, other companies have put out some really competitive options. See how the Honor 9X compares to the competition.
Honor 9X €299.00
The Honor 9X is the first in the X-series line to feature a pop-up camera. This pop-up camera has a fully motorized design. When the selfie mode is activated, the camera will quickly rise from the top of the phone. To really enhance the full-screen notch-free effect of the phone, Honor fitted a larger display into the phone at 6.59″. The end result is a large full screen phone with a very convenient motorized pop-up camera.

Aside from the pop-up camera, the Honor 9X sports some fantastic specs and features for a phone under €300. The Honor 9X features the Kirin 710F and 6GB of RAM. There are other models that come with the Kirin 810, but for one reason or another this isn’t included in every model. This makes the processor a very mild upgrade from the previous Honor 8X which came with the Kirin 710. With that being said, there is not much to criticize when it comes to performance on this phone.
Overall, the Honor 9X is the best of the X-Series so far. While the camera is usually the main feature to suffer in budget phones, the 48MP shooter on the 9X is actually one of the best aspects of this device. The Honor 9X is a great deal for anyone looking to get the most out of their smartphone camera.
This is the best phone under €300 in 2019, but there are plenty of other great budget phones that came out this year. See some of the other good options below.
Motorola Moto One Action $249.99
The Moto One Action has really great specs for the price, but stands out because of the unique 21:9 display. Very few phones have this aspect ratio, and most of them have much higher prices. This makes the Moto One Action special, as an entry level phone for those who are looking for this type of display. Aside from this, you’ll have a triple camera setup for great photos.
GOOGLE PIXEL 3A XL $348.99
The Pixel 3A XL is the best option to get into the pure Google experience from Pixel phones, without shelling out massive amounts of money. The camera quality is decent for a single sensor design, and you can expect to be first in line for future Android Updates.
Huawei P30 Lite $279.00
The Huawei P30 Lite is a good option for people looking for a triple camera setup. Don’t expect the best quality from this camera, but the performance of the phone overall is very good.
Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite $279.99
The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is one of the best phones in the budget category. For the low $279 price, you’ll get a 48MP triple camera, 32MP selfie camera, a huge 4030mAh battery and a large 6.38 display. It’s a great phone for the price, and Xiaomi has been killing it with their software experience lately.
