I'm not impressed with the selfie camera.

Yes, even I am not liking the results of the selfie camera. The stock app blows out the highlights and background way too much, and smooths out the details.
And with Gcam, HDR is fixed, but the photos appear too contrasty and sharpened.
Which is the best way to extract best selfies from this phone? Anyone?

according to MKBHD pictures taken from front-camera are garbage, is that true?

Nope, he had a faulty unit. It's nowhere near that bad. Check all other reviews, you'll see.

It's not garbage but it certainly is not like a 28k phone too,very bad dynamic range ,and not enough details fi you compare other phones in same price segment or some even lower ,I had Nokia 8.1 and I can definitely say it doesn't come anywhere close to it in selfie department

I feel the same as you. Always either too smoothened or too contrasty. Did you find a solution or a gcam config that delivers "acceptable" results?
Does anyone else have a suggestion?

I am currently using this GCam, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog672/
After installation, goto settings->advanced->CustomLib->Change to Savitar ZA v3
The selfie output is still not perfect, but definitely seems better than the output obtained via Sannity's and MGC's Gcams for me. Give it a shot and let me know.

Besed in the reviews it looks great for the price tag
I must say just average quality, and no low light performance.

Exactly! I think the reason being that having a dual camera setup allows for more depth and image information for post processing to generate a better low light picture.
do you have the phone? used it to take pictures by night? I did and I say that the results are not exceptional. Nothing similar to flagship's pictures, no s7 quality. just budget phone camera quality. you must lie really still to avoid problems.
some sample shots would be really nice..

I maybe too late for the reply but why do you expect s7 quality? You can buy 2-3 S7s(depending on price in your country) with that price
no I don't expect s7 quality, and my other android is a oneplus 3t, but if a product is advertised as good, it must be good. From my experience the honour 6x dual camera doesn't help low light image quality.

Selfies are more vibrant and clear than other brands.
Way better than others in similar peice bracket. Little over processed or exposed but looks good.

Better than many Xiaomi and Asus phones in same price bracket
When you find good lighting condition it can take very good and detailed selfie however low light performance is a hit or miss, sometimes impressive sometimes have noise
Overall considered its price i m very happy with front cam quality
Selfie addict and satisfied with it.

would you cut the crap? are you on a mission to comment on every post here with the "my rating is 2" bs? are you even an A50 owner? if not the stfu - if yes, then post proof
Got the 6-64 blue today. Soon will post ?. Hopefully it gets dev support soon.
Photo quality is fine. I like the two camera option in the app.
I don't have a problem with photo quality. Its best for the price and Samsung branding. But the important question is HOW TO DISANLE CAMERA SHUTTER SOUNDS?

Does anyone have gcam link for Samsung A50
I am just not convinced with the picture quality. My 13 MP camera on previous zenfone 2 was much better in terms of sharpness and detailing. In low light its just worse. I will share sample pics clicked with the phone . Hope this will be resolved with OTA updates.

you what? Really you're comparing a flag ship dual camera with a50?
Yes, the quality is really bad and I hope this will improve with a future update.
The low light sample is just garbage in quality rest is fine
Yeah, quality is very cheap for the sensor the phone has....
Before this phone i had a Xiaomi Mi A1, with Gcam , the quality was much better... Notice the Mi A1 is a 2 years old phone...
I'm not satisfy.
Yea, couldn't agree more with the quality of this camera. Way too soft even tho the object is just in front of you. Lack of detail compared to Redmi Note 7 stock cam which I had before. I just hope that this gets resolved with OTA.
Still waiting for also for the GCAM of this device. It'll be awesome.

Found that the selfie camera is far too zoomed in due to the screen aspect ratio. This cannot be fixed on apps such as Snapchat and Instagram. Very annoying.

It's true ! The other day I tried to take a selfie with some friends while having dinner and just fitted 2 in the screen shot. (Note 10)

Oneplus 8 Pro has a different selfie camera sensor.
The selfie on Find X2 Pro lacks any kind of stabilization, OP has it stabilized (and well).

No problem Sir.
Find X2 Pro's selfie photos are decent, I'd say average. HDR is present and works well, although in front portrait mode it might overbrighten the image.
Oneplus 8 Pro has it stabilized which makes for much better vlogging experience. On the other hand, Oppo has a night mode for the front camera which drastically improves low light performance.
Personally I'm glad Oppo scrimped on the front camera quality as I almost never use it and a better camera would only increase the price.
It gets a pass. Certainly not as good as the pixel or iPhone. Seems to beautify too much.
I'd agree, the weakest part of the phone - HDR not that good, photos come out soft and stabilization isn't great. Not as good as the OnePlus 8 pro although that's not perfect either, very sharp but makes everyone look red and too warm.
Selfie camera is very poor comparing to other mobiles in the same price range .

Coming from iPhone 11 Pro, i totally agree with you. The selfie mode is way over exposed most of the time and in case you have light coming right in the camera the picture is very bad. The iPhone does it way better.
In definition, when conditions are good (no direct light source in the lens) this sensor is way better than the iPhone's one.
Is selfie camera there better that in the latest iPhone?

Yes, the iPhone 12 selfie camera is definitely better than the Find X2 Pro.
