Weekly poll: rear vs. selfie camera, which is more important?

21 April 2019
Today, the rear camera almost always gets the better hardware. But is it time to turn things around?

Sort by:

People who care about selfies are mainly empty headed ladies who are desperately chasing fame or attention, that is the only thing thst makes selfy camera exist, and yeah some occasional video chats from normal people :)

                      Both are important. But rear camera is more important. A normal selfie camera is enough for video calling and taking some selfies.

                          I have never used a selfie camera in my whole life. I wish there were phones without them and thus removed the bezels entirely.

                                I've had 3 smartphones over the past 8 or 9 years.

                                have never used the selfie camera on any of them

                                  This is the not right place for this poll imo. Most normies on IG and FB would prefer selfie camera I think. I prefer rear tho

                                    LG Superfan, 22 Apr 2019Its definitely one of the best looking phonesAgreed. Compared to Vivo, they do the dual screen right as the back screen just melts into the back glass

OIS is there to stabilize the sensor when taking a still, to compensate for *small* shakes in your hands, so that you can have longer exposure times without blurring the picture. Stabilizing video requires handling very large movements, something which is physically impossible in such a small space -- you'll need a decent gimbal for that, which will likely be larger than the phone (let alone the sensor housing, which is all the play OIS has). Or be happy with EIS...
