Ugh, front camera is so soft.
Seems like there is a beauty filter on it, and I cant find a way to make it sharper.

When you're taking a selfie look to the top right out the Wand like icon. If it is yellow then there is a filter on.

Front camera is pretty poor. No details, it's all smudged together.

Agree with this....it's so fuzzy and grainy looking. Coming from a Pixel 3 here...

Coming from a S9 that had a naked front screen, I feel the front camera is at least as good in sharpness. I have a TG screen protector on this phone with no punch hole too. I don't do a lot of looking at me on my phone. I don't video call. The front camera is mostly a mirror for me when I have to check my beard stubble at 4 p.m. before a meeting or something.

I'm coming from the oneplus 7t and i can agree that the front camera is pretty ****ty. Like worse than the 7t and oneplus is known for it's bad cameras. Hopefully a software update can fix that.

It takes selfies as if they were taken with a 2MP camera. And worse, it doesn't have autofocus.

For now (until One UI 3 comes out) the only solution for good quality selfie is GCam. This clearly shows that hardware is capable and software is ****. Photos taken with GCam are full of detail, no fake smoothing and great exposure.

Same goes with front facing camera. If taking portrait shots use Gcam.

Also under OneUI 3.0 the front cam + Samsung standard photoapp pics is not more than shi**y. I tried all
different setups, sunlight, lamps,...still bad.
Otherwise the newest GCAM produces sharp, crispy, colorful front cam pics.
