If light is very good, acceptable selfies. Indoors, even with good light, usually very blurry shots
Indoors, nothing but TV for light and taken straight from Allo
At low light in front of my monitor:
beautify mode of the cam/app is the best, makes my ugly face so sweet !
for real, its pretty decent (the front cam).
With 16mp front camera the photos look crisp and sharp. Nothing bad to say about it.
Seems fine with or without beauty mode it's almost same for me
absolutely amazing with the 16m front camera

I recently went on a trip with a selfie stick...front facing camera turned out to be pretty bad...they all turned out kind of like this one:

Some look better than others, but everything looks soft and out of focus...is this normal?

The front facing camera has fixed focus, made so that the subject is in focus when the phone is at arms length. this photo looks like it was taken with a selfie stick so you were not in focus.

Well that explains it...are you aware of any work around for this? I imagine the limitation is the software.

I believe that it it a hardware limitation, so I'm not sure how a software upgrade or any workaround might help significantly. Maybe you might want to try the back camera instead or use the front camera at arms length, or be somehow lucky to find a clip-on lens that can either increase the camera's field while somehow still keeping the correct focus distance or a clip-on lens that will correct the focus when the device is on the selfie stick.
Good!
The front camera is really good. Clean and bright selfies. Love it.
Amazing, outstanding camera quality...
Such a awesome phone. It have best camera that is very useful for taking high resolution selfies.
low light sux
Well lit ok

Everyone knows the weakness behind our Back Camera.. but does everyone know how POWERFUL our front facing camera is? I bet you didn't know you can crank the ISO to 12446 on the front facing camera
You can now take selfies in almost pitch black rooms (and come out grainy, but visible).
Inside the "Selfie" mode, click on EV +2 and go into a dark room.
Your image will automatically being super grainy but you'll be able to see yourself like no other!

Yes...it's weird it only works on front camera and not on regular one...but yeah! Takes photos on pitch black room
Does anyone know if the rear facing camera has an IR filter on it? That may explain this, because if the rear facing camera has a filter but the selfie one does not, the selfie camera will let in more "light", and use ambient IR to illuminate your face slightly more. That's just my best guess.

The reason you can do this with the front is because the camera used is exactly the 4UP sensor from the M8 which has larger pixels for better low light performance

Would've been 5 stars if the front camera wasn't prone to suddenly getting really grainy, really dark, or really bright. Will update if the 10d update fixed that.
hello im new here. i dont know if you guys notice front selfie camera. at night while taking pictures, the camera lags, making picture quality blurry. i also notice if i smile while snapping the pic, in the outcome pic, im already not smiling and my eyes half closed, its funny. weird. heres another one. you save the pictures on SD card, there would be no lag/delay in camera , while if you change setting and change to storage to device, then take 2-3 pics then delete those pics, you will see a black screen for like 3 seconds before returning to the camera screen itself. please anybody...if theres anyone working for LG here, please fix. i have done the hard reset as the agent told me. but to no avail. i think this one needs another update , i love this phone but it needs camera bug updates because it gets so annoying already. given that the lg g5 has the 8mp front camera, this is weird.
i have the verizon one.
Hi
Hi, sorry, may i ask bout LG Stylus 2, i want to search about mirroring like samsung but i can not to find it. did you know how to solve it.
thanks
Front camera always looking a bit too smooth, like the beauty filter is active, but its deactivated.
Yeah, exactly.... When you are a girl that's probably good thing, but for man is freaking anoying with this filter, it looks really weird.... Any solution to this?
My front camera on my lg g5 is distorted, its blurred in the top and bottom of screen. I dont know why. Anyone experience this?
The front facing camera is great. I am very impressed.
Can't say the front facing camera is very good. Better than alot of other phones but its grainy smooth and loses so much detail.
Front camera on my G5 sucks totally. The highlights always get a pink tint and the camera doesn't feel like something that should be present in a flagship device. I have the OnePlus 3 too, which performs much better than my G5. Even the rear camera isn't as good as it should've been. I use the Indian variant H860 with the lastest software available for it ~ V10m
this one is better than s7 edge?
Has anyone also the problem with the front facing cam, that it only delivers sharp pictures while holding the cam no too far away? If I hold my arm fully streched, the image is never 100% sharp. The view finder shows a sharp picture but the result is blurred. I really start to worry that my front facing lens might be broken. But if this was correct, the preview was also blurred, right?
Hi,
I've been experiencing the same issue. Any subject beyond arm's length appears blurry. Not sure why this is. Were you able to solve this issue in some way?
The front facing camera probably has fixed focus so moving the subject further away will result in a blurry image. There's also some very aggressive noise reduction processing that really softens the image regardless. I don't find the front camera to be particularly impressive despite being optically stabilized, wish it still had the same sensor as the m9 as that provided better shots anyway.
Any solution to this guys on the selfie camera. Could it be a defective sensor of the selfie camera? If I am the object it works fine beyond one feet turns out to be blurry. I just got my 10, two weeks back. If anyone could solve kindly reply
Thanks
Any solutions for this. What I am currently doing is holding the camera close while taking selfies as this is the only solution I could find. Other then that it's a great device.
Did also not find a solution yet.
Considering it is a 2017 device, can we expect the camera quality to be at par with the new fad of "dual" lens? I don't mean the effects...I mean the resolution and clarity.

I wasn't very pleased with the camera. The quality is just fine but more megapixels doesn't always mean a better picture. Low light always seems to render images or videos with a red or orange hue. Any zooming and the pictures get way too noisey. In the right light I've taken some great shots. Another thing to look out for is movement and facial tracking. If your subject isn't perfectly still, having facial tracking for focus seriously hinders the shutter speed so I find it best to turn it off when taking pictures of parties and kids and things that are moving.

Hmmm..over the weekend... I played with the device on display at some store. Wasn't very happy with the speed and performance. Didn't feel like a 2017 device. My 3 year old Nexus 6 is faster lol.. So..don't think I would be buying one (not at this price at least).

The speed of the phone has nothing to do with the image quality of the camera....
Like jaybles, I also struggle with the camera quality and are having the same red, purple noisy tint in very Low Light in Manual Mode, but also it can be a struggle to take steady shots in Manual Mode in daylight.. However, thanks to the Newer updated imaging algorithm found in the XZ1 and XZP which from what Ive read, SONY have used in the XA1U... it functions really great in Auto Mode, so SONY phones can now be used as great Point and Shoots.. and we no longer have to struggle anymore with ISO, WB and Metreing.
Ive found that by setting the camera to 12MPX in Manual Mode... gives great shots... 20 and 23MPx modes give camera shake and poor image quality in Manual Mode..
I've been taking a lot of photos as of late, both with the front and rear cameras. I've noticed for a while that the selfie camera doesn't really produce clear and crisp images the way my old 2XL did. I've come across a thread where some folks have encountered the same issue, and wondering if anyone else here is experiencing this?
I've included a link that best shows exactly what I'm talking about, although the person isn't me in the thread.
If the camera is this bad I hope it can be fixed.

I have the same issue and it is frustrating, I also tried with 3rd party apps but still, the selfie images are kinda blurry. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
I've noticed the same compared to my 4xl. The selfies under lower than normal light come out a bit blurry or not as good as I remember them on my previous phone.
The front camera is a fixed focus lens. Physically it has a sharp spot and only that spot is sharp, the rest of it is all processing.
No real way around physics and lack of autofocus.

This. Some older models had front facing camera autofocus, P6 does not (unfortunately)
