That front facing camera...

IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL! Seriously, one of my favorite features of this phone, other than the typical things. So glad I decided to give the One another try after straying to the Note 2.

Skype, Google+, Hangouts, Viber, etc... There are many apps that you can make video calls with

Android really needs some sort of universal video call feature like Apple has.

Except Apple's "universal" video call feature can only call... Other Apple devices. Not very universal, is it? Hangouts is on Android, iOS, and the web. Skype has apps on damn near every platform. Too me those are far more "universal" solutions than FaceTime.

Even 3! I've taken numerous group shots with 3 of us in the pic, and we always fit in easily with room to spare...the countdown feature is also good

While I agree that it needs to be implemented better, hangouts should come on most devices.

The FFC in the One can shoot 4-5 people easily if you have long arms like me. I don't normally take photos with a front camera, but when I had the HTC 8X I loved its wide-angle FCC, which is very similar to the camera on the One. It also had a countdown before taking the shot.

When you do take pics with it you will love how good group shots or pics with your couple come out. Since the 8X I've said that wide-angle FCCs should be a standard on all phones. HTC at least has us covered

Here's one I took a month ago in a rock festival with the 8X before buying the One. I have taken 2 or 3 photos with the One's FCC but they really were just test shots. I've yet to take a group (at least 4-5 people) shot to see how we fit in with it.

Agreed. It is exclusive not universal.. All your friends and family need a iPhone as well to do it... Google +, hangout, Skype etc. Works on multiple devices... I call that way more universal.

Much easier to tell a family member to grab an app then.. Hey go buy the same phone as me so we can do this one function!

I took pictures of my wife and myself recently and I am quite impressed with the front camera on my one.

I agree! I love taking pictures with it, except at night, of course. It's definitely the best front camera I have tried on the smartphones that I have used before.
