Hey people!
I have an I9500 and i love the phone except that my phone's front camera totally sucks. There is a hell lot of noise in the pictures even in plentyful light. So much so that it seems that the pictures were taken with a VGA camera.The rear camera is perfect though.
I'm using the S6 Aurora Port v2.
Someone help me out please? I want good selfies back
As anyone else also found out, the front camera of S7 has serious focus issue. The front camera is a fixed focus lens, which means the distance between lens and CCD is fixed and can not be changed. The lens has very short focus lengh, like 1~2 mm. So most distance between object and lens can be considered as infinity. That's why such camera does not have focusing ablility. Which also means unless you change the hardware, the out of focus is not fixable by firmware.
This is a low level defect, which should never happen in a flagship cell phone such as S7. A camera has such issue mostly is wasted. We shall act and repot to Samsung asking for recall.
I had a chance to take a picture, comparing S7 with a Note 5. You can see the big difference.

We are many that are having this issue with the front camera.
Check out the S7 Camera thread for more.
What FW do you have on the front camera?

hi guys
i found black and white(gray) effect just for front camera, is there any BW effect for rear one?
i used fv camera app before on other device but i dunno why its bw effect not working in galaxy s7 edge !
Does the front camera have any focusing on it , if so, is it good like the rear camera?
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.
