Camera front camera low light problem! it happens to everyone?

Hi guys, the other day i was taking some pictures at the night, that day i carry with me, my 2 phones, the samsung galaxy s2 and the s3, so i take some pictures with the s2 and their front camera, the image looks really dark and i adjust de expossure, and that was fine, looks pretty clear, little bit of noise but nothing relevant, and after a while i took some pictures with the s3 front facing camera, and looks dark (like the s2) so i decided to adjust the expossure value, but nothing happens i only note a difference when i turn it down, but when i try to turn the expossure up i cant see any difference.

Today i made some test and with the s2, and you can see clearly the image in the dark, but with the s3 donīt, NOTE: the galaxy s3 camera recently added a low light function "premium suite" and as you may know, its amazing!, but only on the back camera, not the front, and the front camera of the s3 looks more natural, fast and clear than the s2 but in the night, the s2 wins.

and now its what im talking about, some comparison between this two cameras, that photos was taken at the same time.

OK this is a normal shot, with the expossure in the middle


then i turned up to the max expossure in both phones


OK at this point all is pretty close, the image in the S3 looks a little bit better, and the photo resolution is much bigger, but when i turn of the light, and only left the t.v. its a super difference.

this is the first low light shot


this is the second one


as you can see, the s2 take much much clear photos in low light conditions, i already set the maximun expossure in both low light pictures, so, probably you can see the S3 image in your device, but in my phone i cant see anything with the brightnes at maximun.

so, im really sad for this, because i use a lot the front camera, for videoconference, photos, etc. and in some places the light is very low, but the galaxy s2 works great for me in all conditions.

maybe you know whats wrong, let me know if this happens to you, or if i did something wrong, maybe i need a hack xD wheatever, please help me guys!
