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.

[warboss]

[kyacrash]

extremely disappointed with the front facing camera. very blurry selfies.

 

[virtyx]

blurry and feels like the beauty filter is on eventhough its off.
my s6 was way more realistic.

 

[darkinners]

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

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!

S7 offer poor unrealistic selfie ..Best selfie which i had was with Htc one m8 and M9
