22 January 2019
DxOMark will finally test the selfie cameras on phones, already has evaluated 13 phones.

DJ FROST, 23 Jan 2019ok but have you seen what dxomark said? well that's your op... moreI'm sorry but you've surely seen many, I mean MANY people who're disagreeing with the results from DxO because how their test results simply don't indicate devices' real life performance. And now this "selfie rating" is a complete bogus, hands down. If you actually think Note 9 can take selfies just as good as Pixel 3 can, well I have to say that you're blind. Just take a look at samples on the internet and then come back here. Trust me, it's not great.

    Tie with Pixel 3? WTF. Note 9 front camera is trash. It has aggressive filters eventhough filters are off.

                DJ FROST, 22 Jan 2019well it seems like you definitely dont own one, i own a not... moreI surely own one and reiterate what I said: Note 9 takes bad selfies, they look smudged, unnatural. Maybe it's you that don't own one or don't know any better.

                  DJ FROST, 22 Jan 2019well it seems like you definitely dont own one, i own a not... moreOverexposure is a common issue with Note 9's selfie camera because its HDR isn't always on unlike iPhone XS, Pixel 3 and Mate 20 Pro.

                    I would agree with Pixel result. That alone comes down to the Google Camera software. My crappy-in-indoor-or-low light-selfie-camera Mi Note 3, turns into a DSLR quality one (within limits of course, you can't beat actual DSLR). Even a friend of mine who regularly uses DSLR thinks of changing phone, but of course I stopped her from doing so and instead just tell this is all due to Google's software only.

                      The idea behind the test is to get pictures closer to reality. Yes, on a Note, compared to an iPhone, you will get less saturated selfies but this is how you actually look in reality. Yeah, it looks cooler to have that suntanned skin on Insta but it is not how you look like. You could solve that in a Photo Editor.

                        dns4, 22 Jan 2019I have an Exynos Note 9 and I think the selfie photos look ... morewell it seems like you definitely dont own one, i own a note 9 sd version and it takes the best selfies for me so far, and i dont think it got to do with exynos version ok.

                          almost everyone knows iphone selfie is not good and yet still people dose not want to accept it!
                          Also S9/+ need to be retested cause of improvement in latest software!

                            Shui8, 22 Jan 2019Thats what i thought. These selfie camera review is indeed ... moreI tried an iphone for a month for the first time in my life just to see what the hype was all about.

                            My S8 took pictures that were similar in quality to the X I had.

                              Ironically the deference between pixel 3 and note 9 selfy is like day and night.
