S7 Edge Front Facing Camera

[wisewhisk]

Can anyone comment about how the S7 edge front facing (selfie) camera performs? I went to Best Buy yesterday and tested it out and thought the photos weren't very good. I turned off all the beauty filters and fixes but it still felt like the photos were smoothed out and lost a lot of detail. The lighting wasn't great (since it was at Best Buy) but overall, I expected it to be better. I'm coming from a Droid Turbo (first gen) and thought even though the S7 edge photo was brighter, the Droid Turbo front-facing camera provided more detail.

Any thoughts or comparisons? That's the only thing preventing me from upgrading. Thanks in advanced.

Here is a good comparison to the 6s

Thanks for posting the video. I guess it might be personal preference? I think the video also shows the issue I noticed. The S7 edge front facing photos seem less detailed but brighter. Some threads have been saying that the post-processing software is the issue. Does using another camera app help?

I haven't seen many posted photos in the forums so far. If anyone has any, that would be helpful.
