The front camera of the LG flagship cannot be called cool in terms of “technical” features - there is no flash on the front panel (instead of this, the 5.7-inch display is simply filled with white light at maximum brightness), the aperture of the “front camera” is average (f / 2.2 aperture), and 5 megapixels for self-portraits is not that much.

The LG G6 may not be the best of the best, but it's cheap enough to forgive its flaws

But the viewing angle is as much as 100 degrees! That is, at the same arm's length, not only the owner of the smartphone, but also tipsy friends on the right and left shoulder will fit into the frame, and there will still be some space left to capture the interior. Truly beautiful photos will only be in daylight, but the ability to “shove the unpushable” into a self-portrait will always come in handy.

The quality of the body of the LG G6 is not very impressive, because the glass on the back looks too much like plastic. Also, there is no “power reserve” in the smartphone, as a flagship is supposed to, and the LG add-on over Android is not very fast. But the sound in the headphones is excellent, water protection is in place, the rear cameras are good (widescreen has no analogues at all), and most importantly, the smartphone is becoming cheaper at a record pace, and now it is the most affordable frameless camera in 2017.

Google Pixel is a selfie camera that smooths out any roughness

Do not like the "sectarians" who spend huge sums on the iPhone not for the sake of performance, but because the phone is prestigious? Google does not like them either, and in the name of the victory of good, it is building its own sect. One in which workers will be ready to pay 50 thousand rubles or more for branded Google smartphones. It is not very clear why a mobile phone from the specialists who created the dead social network Google+, three times dead (Google Talk, Hangouts, Allo) instant messengers and a little bit of Motorola should become prestigious. But Google is trying, and for the sake of this great goal, it even stopped releasing Nexus smartphones in order to start selling more expensive Pixels.

Well, God bless him, with marketing - we are now only interested in one (in two sizes) smartphone model. And the interest is not in vain - after all, we are talking about a rare breed of smartphones with a powerful processor, an “empty” fast Android (you still install applications to your liking anyway?) And the smartest “automatic” in smartphone cameras.

I'm not joking: Pixel is the case when for beautiful photos on a smartphone you just need to keep the HDR + mode turned on and, you know, press the capture key, and the mobile phone will take care of itself. And also - Android updates in the forefront (Samsung flagships and other "luxury" are being pulled up much later), a perfectly tuned AMOLED display, and exclusivity, because "Pixels" are not officially sold in Russia.

Pixel is good with highly polished shooting algorithms

The front camera in the Googlephone is not that extremely “seeing” (only f / 2.4), but with a pixel size of 1.4 microns, the light sensitivity still turns out to be excellent, and everything else is easy to fix with the help of software!

A high price can scare away from buying a Google Pixel (a smartphone is rarely found cheaper than 40 thousand rubles - very expensive, as for last year's model), an unthinkable amount of marriage and autonomy “on a thin one”, at which the Pixel stuffed with applications works amazingly fast, but not for long. For the rest, you have before you a universal model with cool stuffing and a “blank slate” in order to settle in Android in the most convenient way for you.

Sample selfie on Google Pixel

HTC is like a Resident Evil movie/Linkin Park band/Call of Duty game, only a smartphone manufacturer. That is, he used to perform very well and won a lot of fans, and then he embarked on dubious work - and goodbye, reputation.

There are no forever popular manufacturers, and some brands managed to “dive into the grave” (Nokia), and then resurrect while HTC was alive. And, if for state employees with a four-year-old (!) Now Snapdragon 400 processor in 2016, the creators would like to wish all the worst, then the flagship HTC 10 is a cool and, alas, underestimated smartphone.

HTC 10 is much better than we used to think about it

The bulky but brutal metal case still looks nicer today than the slippery glossy “remnant” flagships in 2017. The display, sound, speed - everything is at a decent level, and the rear camera is better than that of any "Chinese" and iPhone 7, and almost equal in quality to the Galaxy S8.

And the front camera of the HTC 10 has something that no flagship of 2016 has - optical stabilization! Once upon a time, this was in the Galaxy S6 edge +, and then Samsung tried to repeat this feat in the Galaxy S8, but “did not master” the task.

And it's not just that your face will not move sharply in the frame, even if you chat in Skype on the run. The selfie camera in the HTC 10 is cool in every way: large pixels (1.34 µm), f/1.8 aperture, autofocus - look for such cool selfie backgrounds! The only thing missing is a frontal flash for complete happiness. And all this costs 25 thousand rubles, which are asked for a new phone in small stores.

This is how optical stabilization works

The disadvantages in the flagship HTC are traditional - near-zero maintainability, no moisture protection (because of which the smartphone lost many customers compared to the Galaxy S7 edge), heating in operation and autonomy, which “degrades” very quickly after a few months of use. An old-fashioned smartphone "with a soul" leaves no one indifferent - either love it or hate it. Lovers of quality selfies - love!

Sony Xperia XA Ultra - flash, many megapixels, autofocus

Shooting a photo on a "cutting board" is an awkward task. For this reason, cameras of terrible quality are installed in almost any tablet, and 1-megapixel webcams are inhuman, abominations that go into stardust.

There are few smartphones with a good front camera and a large screen. There are almost no non-bulky smartphones with a large screen and a good selfie camera. One of the few exceptions is the Xperia XA Ultra.

The front camera is hefty for a reason - it shoots accordingly

The Japanese were the first daredevils to release a flagship 6.4-inch smartphone in the years when 7 inches were already an attribute of tablets. And then the guys from the Land of the Rising Sun, as they say, were blown away, and transferred large-sized models to the "middle class" of devices. That is, they are no longer budget “buckets”, but far from premium either.

That's why the XA Ultra is so controversial. Display - a feast for the eyes! Without frames on the sides, bright, clear, but at the same time calibrated typ-blunder, and the colors are oversaturated, if only it looked “expensive-rich”. The case is very convenient (there is even a separate key for controlling the camera, like on cameras-“soap dishes”), with honest three slots (2x SIM + 1x microSD), but the battery castrated to 2700 mAh at 6 inches is oh ...

But, Japanese gods, what a cool front camera! A whopping 16 megapixels, with autofocus, optical stabilization, flash, and better image quality than the rear camera of your iPhone SE or Xiaomi Redmi 4.

By itself, the front camera cannot compete in detail with that of the HTC 10 or Samsung Galaxy S8 (the aperture is not the same), but with the use of the Sony flash it “gives quality” even in the harshest shooting conditions.

The first mobile phones appeared in free use relatively recently - only some fifteen years ago. Then the invention of cellular communications and providing access to it for all segments of the population was a real technical breakthrough.

The mobile phone industry has grown rapidly. From a "portable tool for talking and texting," the device began to turn into a full-fledged mini-computer, acquiring more and more new functions and capabilities. And now - the camera appeared on the phones. Unpretentious, primitive, but it was convenient: instead of two devices, you could wear one. The first cameras were very weak and rather formal. At first, few understood its purpose in the phone and shrugged that it is much better to carry cameras.

But cameras began to improve rapidly, and with the advent of smartphones, they became two-sided. That is, for a "selfie" (literally - photographing oneself by oneself), now you can not do complicated twists and turns with a mobile phone and not look for a large mirror (especially, sorry, in public places), but with one button switch to the front camera mode (front camera) and easily take a picture of yourself from the right angle - after all, in this mode, a person can immediately see what the image will turn out to be.

Selfie fanaticism has literally swept the modern world. Our parents and grandparents can only envy how easy it is now to get flawless pictures without spending hours in a darkroom, without doing complicated manipulations with solvent developers. Chick - and you're done! However, any convenience entails its negative consequences. And now, a number of representatives of social network users can see dozens of new “photos” every day, such as “I woke up”, “I have breakfast”, “I'm going to work”, etc. Psychologists in such cases talk about some deviations, but the fact remains: there are enough fans of "selfies".

Even if a person is not a fan of constantly capturing himself beloved, he still takes some selfies from time to time or photographs important moments for him. Interesting events, meetings with friends, incidents.

All this suggests that a good front camera on smartphones is in great demand these days. Who will look at low-quality, blurry, darkened photos and small pixels when the industry has gone very far in this direction?

So selfie lovers are faced with a difficult choice. On the one hand, a good camera is highly desirable in a phone, on the other hand, a good performance of many other functions is required from the phone. Of course, you can not pose the problem of choice and just buy a very expensive, sophisticated and fashionable model (thousands for 60 rubles). Most likely, the camera is also on top there. But does everyone have the opportunity to make such an acquisition? Therefore, the financial side is a rather strong limiter in this matter.

So which one to buy in your case? Consider the criteria for choosing a phone with a good selfie front camera.

Oddly enough, a good camera resolution (those same megapixels) is not at all a guarantee of good pictures. High resolution can be achieved not at the cost of increasing picture quality. And due to its stretching in length and width. As you understand, this action does not improve the photos at all.

To evaluate the quality of images, you need to look at the quality of the resulting images. With my own eyes. However, today many users have done this for you and before you, a considerable part of which are professionals in this field. Therefore, the rating of smartphones with good cameras, presented below, will make your life much easier.

• low price category;
• middle price category;
• premium price category.

In this model, the resolution of the front and main cameras is the same, and both have an LED flash, autofocus systems (phase for the front and fast laser for the main one). The selfie camera (front camera) responds to gestures: a smile or a “V” finger shape. You can set the focus yourself, there is a pan mode, HDR, auto-retouch.

The frontal camera can be used to unlock the phone, which is very convenient and unusual - a special retinal scanner and the Sky Eye application will not let anyone get into your phone. This is not always convenient in low light (here the application can fail) plus the procedure is quite slow. But if safety is paramount, these minor inconveniences can be tolerated. A very powerful filling that allows you to pull even bulky modern games.

The main camera has a back-illuminated sensor, a device that allows you to most accurately reproduce the hues and lighting of a photo, while phase detection autofocus carefully monitors the clarity of details without blurring.

Video review of the smartphone:

A true flagship smartphone. Here, the dual camera was placed on the main one, but the front one was equipped with wide-angle optics. It would seem that the front camera resolution of 5 megapixels is very small for such a phone. However, remember that you need to look at the quality of the pictures, and not at the resolution of the camera. But the quality is just on top.

Wide-angle optics, the practical absence of barrel and distortion, sharpness and focus adjustment. Coupled with an incredibly powerful hardware capable of pulling the most modern applications and heavy games without brakes, this model gives a hundred points ahead of many of its brothers.

• very high price.

The pros and cons of the smartphone in detail - in the video:

The phone, which is not primarily aimed at shooting, nevertheless shows very good results in this area. Accurate color reproduction, smoothing of graininess and roughness, a fairly high resolution, a sea of ​​​​smart functions for shooting - all this adds points to an already cool smartphone. The fotik overtakes in its qualities even the fotik on the famous Samsung Galaxy S8. True, there is no front flash. Such are the paradoxes: with an abundance of camera functionality, there is no frontal flash.

The concept of "self-portrait" has been known for more than a decade. However, this type of photography has gained popularity only in recent years. The development of technology has made selfies available to any mobile owner. Although not every phone will cope with this difficult task.

A photograph of oneself is considered a self-portrait. Due to the unattractiveness of the word, it was replaced with a selfie, which translates as "self". The first mention of such a picture appeared only in 2010 and quickly took root around the world.

A photograph taken on an outstretched arm or in a mirror is considered a selfie. This method made a real boom, and on the wave of popularity, many attributes were created for lovers of self-portraits. An interesting invention was a special stick that allows more people to get into the frame. Selfie lovers also got an Instagram resource for posting self-portraits.

Device selection

Most people prefer using their phone for selfies. The mobile phone is always at hand and is able to take good pictures. Although not every smartphone can cope with the task.

The emphasis in the device should be on the cameras, and on both. The quality of the selfie depends on the matrix of the device and its resolution. Also, the phone must have autofocus, the presence of such a function is desirable for the front camera. Finding the perfect phone for selfies can be tricky. The buyer will have to carefully study the many models of different companies.

Main camera

For selfies, you should pay attention not only to the front camera. The rear camera is also important when shooting self-portraits. For selfies, you can use a mirror surface, which means that the front camera will not help here. The picture taken with the main camera will be much better. With a photo in the mirror, even a budget device will show good results.

The main camera is also useful when shooting at arm's length. Of course, this method is not the best, but if there is an ordinary “peephole” in place of the front camera, this is a great solution. Having a good autofocus in the phone, the user will be able to achieve good results.

Balance

The best selfie phones are balanced phones. A vivid example was the Desire Eye Red device created for self-portraits from the well-known brand HTC. The phone received 13-megapixel matrices for both cameras. Additional features also did not disappoint. The rear and front cameras have autofocus, in addition, there is a flash near each “eye”.

If the front camera is slightly inferior to the rear counterpart in the number of megapixels, there should be no problems. Naturally, the "eyes" of 0.3, 1.3 and even 2 megapixels are unsuitable for a good self-portrait. The best selfie phones start at 5 megapixels and 8 megapixels on the back.

Smartphones "Samsung"

Any manufacturer can offer a selfie phone in its lineup. First of all, Samsung devices should be noted. The company has always stood out for excellent cameras, and most fans of self-portraits prefer this particular company.

The manufacturer has released a variety of devices suitable for selfies. The Samsung S6 phone from the Galaxy series is one of the clearest examples. The company equipped the main camera with a 16 megapixel matrix, and the front camera with 5 megapixels. Features are great for selfies.

Almost all Galaxy devices are suitable for self-portraits. The company has installed a five-megapixel front camera in most of its phones. Of course, there are exceptions in the form of the J1 model, which has only 2 megapixels. However, selfie fans will have plenty to choose from.

Phones "Lenovo"

The popular Chinese manufacturer has also paid attention to camera features. The presence of excellent matrices allows fans of Lenovo products to take selfies. The company's phone is almost as good as the Korean competitor. The manufacturer pleases with a rather large assortment of smartphones with excellent cameras.

One of the best devices for photography are representatives of the S-series, namely the model 60 and 90. These devices, similar to the last iPhone, received an 8- and 5-megapixel front camera. The rear camera is also full of goodies. In both devices, the main matrix has a resolution of 13 megapixels.

It is difficult to ignore the Vibi X3, the owner of the main camera of 21 megapixels. The front camera matrix of this miracle has a resolution of 8 megapixels, which is also very nice for photo lovers. A little behind its advanced brother Vibi Shot. The manufacturer equipped the main camera of the smartphone with 16 megapixels, and additionally got an 8 megapixel matrix.

In the cheaper segment, there are also models suitable for selfies. The representative of the budget class A, or rather the model 7000, has a five-megapixel front camera and an 8-megapixel main camera. Those who want to take self-portraits will also like the P70. The approximate cost of these models fluctuates around 12 thousand rubles. However, they are definitely worth the money.

Sony smartphones

The Japanese manufacturer did not lag behind competitors. Sony equip their devices with some of the best cameras. Only Samsung can compete with the company. Cameras on Sony devices are designed for taking self-portraits.

Among the company's products you can find real pearls. For example, Xperia M5 has acquired a matrix of 21.5 megapixels. In addition, the model received a front camera of as much as 13 megapixels, perfect for selfies. A more balanced and cheaper option would be the Xperia C5, which has 13 megapixels of both the main and rear cameras.

Browsing through Sony's range, it's hard to decide which selfie phone to pick. Attention is drawn to the expensive Z5 models, the mid-priced Z3 and, of course, the much-loved M4 Aqua. Each of the phones received a powerful and functional camera. The heavy burden of choosing a device designed for selfies will fall on the shoulders of the buyer and will definitely not be the easiest.

HTC Phones

A less extensive but rather interesting range of selfie devices is offered by the Taiwanese manufacturer. Although HTC does not focus on cameras, it will be able to attract photo enthusiasts with some models.

The buyer should pay attention to smartphones with the prefix One, namely the M9 and M8S. The eighth model of the series has acquired cameras of 13 and 5 megapixels. The characteristics, unfortunately, are inferior to Sony products, but they will cope with self-portraits with a bang. The One M9 looks a bit more attractive. The flagship received at its disposal 20 and 4 megapixels. The front camera is a little off, but it still looks decent.

Among cheaper devices, it's hard to tell which phone is best for selfies. "State employees" and part of the middle class are not able to surprise with their parameters. The same Desire 516 received only 5 and 2 megapixels. Similar cameras are found in most HTC models. Such a matrix will be enough for a low-quality photo. For bright and memorable selfies, better characteristics are needed.

Not only eminent brands will cope with self-portraits. Companies or Chinese manufacturers that have lost ground can also surprise. Having paid attention to the search, the buyer may stumble upon a curious F5 device from Doogee. The phone will surprise you not only with its affordable price, but also with the presence of cameras with 13 and 5 megapixels.

Among the LG lineup there are also devices suitable for selfies. Model Ray X190 will delight the buyer with excellent performance. From the manufacturer, the phone received as many as 13 megapixels of the main and 8 megapixels of an additional camera.

You should not bypass the eminent "Chinese". Paying attention to Huawei, the buyer will definitely stumble upon the Ascend P7 model. The phone has 13 and 8 megapixels, which is very good.

OPPO F5 is the best selfie camera

The first model in the review is not quite a smartphone, but already - or a “phablet”.

The screen with a diagonal of 6 inches allows you to view videos with FullHD extension and even actually distinguish this quality from the usual HD format for phones.

But the main features of the smartphone are still the characteristics of the cameras:
