    I'm wondering why have I not heard of a company doing a higher count pixel for the front facing camera? In a world of selfie this should be good. I've only seen Oppo that got that reversible cam thing. There are probably people who have more pic of themselves than anything else lol.

    I believe turning the phone around does the same exact thing! /s

    ... To answer your question, there are plenty "selfie-centric" phones these days.

    I used to have that a Nikon d5000 never took selfie in it though. But you see sir I can't help but notice that there are really people like to take pictures of themselves. Not all of them fancy to buy a dslr or a point and shoot. If camera in smartphones are not meant to be used it shouldn't be there as that's just added cost. But like it or not smartphones they have cameras and many use it.

    Point is phones are becoming more sophisticated and there are high end phones cameras than can compete with a point and shoot cameras.

    I think we've reached a point with selfies where there will be 2 cameras on the front, one high mp for selfies and another lower one for video chats.

    That would be a waste of money and resources. No one will ever do that

    I wonder how much data a video chat with an 8mp camera would use as opposed to a 2mp camera.

    Or, you know, you could let the software lower the quality instead of wasting space, money, etc.

    Didn't think about data compression, guess that would work. I just saw that the xioami mi 4 has an 8mp front facing camera, so I guess it's coming soon.

    An 8mp front facing camera with LED flash would make taking profile pics for LinkedIn or Facebook better. Or if your a selfie addict, help fill your Instagram with even better, and even more seflies that no one wants to see, except for yourself.
