Front camera quality

[vlug]

Anyone else notice how the front cam isn't so sharp at times? If I am not holding my phone from the same direction as the light source, the pics are kinda blurry. It's currently 10am where I am and the sun is shining bright yet this camera is producing low quality images while indoors like there isn't enough light though there is. It's as if the light needs to shine directly into the sensor to create sharper images. My Nexus 6p took way better pics in low and even no light. I will post pics from both devices for comparison. Anyone else care to post some as well?

I had an issue with the screen protector i had put on..it was covering the front cam and due to finger print smudges the selfie pics were coming blurry.i removed that protector and now it looks quite good. Jist check if ur front camera is not getting smudged with finger prints.

Nah, I have a very nice microfiber cloth I cleaned it with several times before posting this. It's just a strange thing with the lighting. I feel as if the camera just isn't good without all of the light available going into the sensor. Give me some time to get these pictures in order. You will see what I mean

I noticed this. Here is a pic I snapped yesterday, definitely soft, https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=c3QtZHpLdlNWRjVkNXNtUWpua2hGN240em82UElR I went into the settings and had to adjust the Skin tone, it was on 2. 0 seems clearer? I'll have to test. FFC is the Sony IMX320 (rear is Sony IMX333) on mine.

Yea, the 0 setting is none while 8 is extremely smooth. Here's a pic I just snapped. https://goo.gl/photos/tGDJtMX7Xt821oBU8
This picture isn't sharp by no means. Soft as you described it. This is disappointing. Coming from a two year old phone.

Is the shape correction on? I disabled it on mine, now pics with the front camera seem sharper.

Agree. There has to be an update as this has a killer sensor.

Sounds like the issue that plagued some GS7 units as well. Sad to see

I thought it was just me or the lighting in my room here. Definitely seems like the focus is off and they all come out somewhat blurry. Big draw for me was getting this to get better group selfies (don't judge). I hope a firmware update fixes this.

After doing research, it seems to be the exact same issue. I read where someone had taken their S7 to best buy and compared it with other display units or something like that. Their results were that another device had an okay camera and then another was bad just like theirs... Or something like that lol. Can't remember currently. Either way, this camera is butt ???
