Open the camera and flip it around. Then use your thumb to press the volume key to take a photo. You will hear the camera shutter sound. There you go, a high quality 16MP selfie.

I think most people figured that out but the real point is why not just design the selfie camera right in the first place?

When I want to take a selfie, I just get out my DSLR and make them kind of epic.

Is that you?

Yes. A single 6.5 minute exposure, unedited except for noise reduction. If you look closely, you can see my actual bare feet. Lol

Some people forget they can do that, you can still take a better selfie with the main camera

For the shot above, you couldn't use your phone for a couple reasons. You need a bulb mode, and to be able to shoot longer than a phone would allow. A remote shutter is handy too. I used this tutorial as a guide for mine.
