Front cameras with autofocus are still a rarity in the smartphone world. Tell me all the names of that 'many android phones' you were talking about and maybe I'll look into it.

        So many apple fans smh a phone is about how it works in reality. I have the iPhone 7 rose gold and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The iPhone is a solid phone I must say. But the camera in the night compared to the S7 can't stand, is a clear difference. The screen resolution well there is no competition there. That stupid all in one port is a pain. Seriously I be walking down the road and people be saying am lying I have an iPhone 6 apple has not really done anything great in terms of phones honestly apple is a good company but don't see any reason for someone to update from the iPhone 6 unless you just trying to show off really. I will keep the Samsung for now as it is clearly the better of the 2 phones. Plus can't beat an SD card.

          Anonymous, 29 Nov 2016As if THAT is the one thing that needs improvement! Sams... moreYes because an article starting that they are making an improvement to their front camera means that is their only and main focus. You sure are a bright one aren't you.
          And if you don't want a hand grenade then don't buy any phone because a few have this issue from almost any phone line every year.

          That's mass produced consumer goods for you. But I wouldn't expect that even such things as simple as that are easy for someone down on your level to understand

Yes some have been cheap and buggy but there has never been this musical huge gap that people have been on about for years.
            IPhone have lag and glitches because they are a part of reality too. And if they had the extra low budget chips and actually had features it would have been worse

There is much more that can be put in and they could use some of the newer camera sensors on the back and put that one up front. Obviously I can also see where that is not as effective for them

                  Samsung might probably launch the note 7 reboot

If it is because of the Exynos chipsets, there is much time that they have the best performance of all mobile chipsets excluding the last one which was surpassed by Snapdragon 820/821 but by little margin. If it is because of the Touchwiz, in last years, Samsung has improved a lot in their skin software and today Touchwiz is a fluid and fast skin.

                                  This feature alone is the reason to buy the S8. Selfie camera is that important.

                                    A lot of sony models already has this feature.

                                      Definitely finally. But they have much much more to do. Because they have the whole Mountain Everest ahead
