Gidday folks, just got this awesome new phone but I'm incredibly concerned about the front facing camera... See my attached pics and let me know.
Excuse the ug face...
The front facing camera on the G6 isn't brilliant. To get the best possible image quality from it it's best to use the wide angle setting as the zoomed setting is just a crop of the wide angle image.
The front camera is definitely one of its weak points though.

Don't know why LG reduced from 8mp to 5mp to the front camera? Use the rear wide angle camera and use it for selfies.

Is this true according to the spec sheet it states that the rear camera is 3MP and the rear is 2MP but one of the video review was saying that it had 8MP rear camera which makes more sense...I really hope it's not 3MP rear camera right? can somebody confirm this???

I don't think the page is complete or accurate yet.
I wish a tablet does not have rear camera IF that can:
- Reduce the price
- Reduce the weight
- Increase room for more bigger battery
That one feature, rear camera, I will never use it. WHY?
- I have my Android phone with a good camera
- I have my digital camera
- I will look like an idiot holding the tablet for taking picture
I would guess the rear camera is more for augmented reality type apps rather than picture/video taking.
To answer your question, yes the rear camera is 3mp while the front is 2mp. However, keep in mind megapixels is not always telling you the quality of the camera. The important parts of the camera would more be the sensors and lens and such. With this particular camera it has been taking phenomenal shots that is on par with my Dinc that has an 8mp rear camera.

I've been having a play with the camera and it is surprisingly good.
The rear camera is:
10.1v -> 8Mp
10.1 -> 3Mp
Hmm, I am curious why Samsung would reduce the rear camera from 8mpx to 3mpx in the 10.1v vs 10.1?
Granted, I do not see myself using a camera on a tablet for anything too serious, but seems an odd step back from the existing 10.1v.
With the XOOM spec-ing in at 5mpx, and buyers looking at the differentiators (like weight and thickness, SD Card, etc.), I wonder if the rear camera mpx will be a deal breaker for anyone. I would see an 8mpx camera like on the 10.1v as a good differentiator over the XOOM.
Maybe cost is the driver?
...or the new thinness spec required a smaller sensor.

Hey!
I can't seem to find any samples or anyone even showing or mentioning the results of the front facing camera in any review.. From what I have seen on the z1 is that the pictures of the front facing camera are grainy like crazy if the light isn't perfect. Anyone knows if the slightly better hardware of the z2 camera gives out a better end result? Maybe anyone of you can link to some pictures on the web.
Thanks!
The front camera is just a 2mp ish camera which really all you want it for is 'selfies' which it will do the job.
From the samples I have seen Im pretty pleased with the results of the rear camera and low light pictures definately look acceptable.
Im on the LG G2 now and the camera is awesome, the pictures I take are amazing, until the light starts to fade, then it takes about 3 seconds to focus, if the object is moving its blurry and looks like a cartoon. Im just hoping the Z2 gives me the awesome pictures in daylight and ok pictures in low light which are not blured, that will do me. But as always I wont know until I test under my own uniqe conditions.

Really? No one has a Note 4 that takes grainy pictures with the front camera?

We do, but it's expected. It's the front camera. The sensor is small, and obviously it will be worse than the back camera.
Also check that you don't have the selfie filter set too high... in selfie mode, it is automatically enabled and it blurs your face etc... it works for me and my wrinkles.. LOL
lol
I have the beauty shot down to 0 and this still happens. And compared to a Note 10.1 for example, the pictures are horrible. I am not comparing it to the back camera!
Unlike any other 2mp front facing camera G2 front facing camera produces really bad pictures. Its so noisy and make very bad dull colors. Its unbelievably bad compared to other 2mp samsung cameras.
Is there is anyway i can improve this quality?
Hi all - it sounds like the front (selfie) camera does not take the best pics.
One of the uses I wanted for the G6 is to use the back camera (the wide angle one) to take selfies instead.
I won't be able to see the screen, but with the wide angle lens, I don't really need to do much framing I'm guessing.
The only thing that I'm concerned about is the lack of auto focus and if the wide angle camera can focus on subjects about 1 metre away from them.
Does anyone have a G6 who could comment / or post a sample pic of this? This is pretty much the dealbreaker for me to get this phone.
Cheers!
I'm interested in the same question! Would be great if anyone could comment on this, hence bumping this thread.
Yes. Front facing camera is not as good as it should be. Specially in low light situation...
This, and lack of LED notification light are the biggest flaw to me
Back cameras takes good selfies though. I don't have any problem with framing or autofocus. Does a good job with defocusing background and shaking effect is at minimum thanks to new image stabilizing system.
Hope this help you
Cheers
Someone here at xda calculated that all things between 35cm and infinity are in Focus for the wide angle camera.
I also made some tests and I think that he is not totaly wrong with his 35cm.
So taking selfies should be ok.
