Android Central Question

I absolutely love my Galaxy tab S2. The only real downside that I see to this tablet right now, is the 2-megapixel front-facing camera. I have looked all over the Internet for and upgrade but have been unable to find one. Does anyone know if such a camera exist?

No. One major hurdle is that the software is written for that specific hardware. The other concern is that replacement cameras may not share the same connector as the original one.

Mobile devices like this can't really be upgraded or modified like that, they weren't designed to be opened or have parts swapped.

Due to the design and limited space it may be difficult to get another camera module that would even fit, possibly impossible. If you did get another, the hardware isn't programmed to recognize it so it wouldn't work anyway.
