[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

Over the past year, we have been writing on the top 10 smartphones for selfies bi-monthly. This article aims to give readers some sort of option when choosing a smartphone especially if they are a selfie freak. Unfortunately, the front camera is not exactly a selling point for most smartphones. Thus, getting smartphones with a good front camera is usually expensive. However, there are some pretty decent and cheap smartphones which have good front cameras. If you are a lover of selfies and one of the reasons you purchase a smartphone is for its selfie capacity, then this article is for you. Because we don't get to see many smartphones within two months, some devices from our previous column may also make this list.

Furthermore, we don't regularly see improvements in the front camera of smartphones. This is why the Huawei Mate 40 Pro has been one of the best smartphones for selfies on DxOMark since 2020. Making a choice for a decent smartphone with a good front camera may be a bit confusing. However, just get your mind prepared that if you need a good selfie smartphone, it may not be a new device.

Our last edition has a plethora of pretty expensive smartphones for selfies and this list is not any different in terms of price. However, we have some new devices like the Xiaomi Civi 1S as well as the Vivo X80 series all of which were released this month. The Samsung Galaxy M53 is also another April-release smartphone on the list. All these devices come with decent 32MP cameras with strong software optimizations. However, the rest devices on the list are "old" but not obsolete.

If you need a decent smartphone with a front camera that will not disappoint, then you should read this article to the end. Of course, like we always advise, our posts do not always chase megapixels. In fact, a high pixel camera does not always mean that it will perform better. There are several optimizations (mostly software) that also determine the output. The likes of Google, Samsung, Apple and Huawei do not usually chase pixel size. However, their cameras on mobile phones are arguably the best in the industry.

Furthermore, as a heads up, our top 10 smartphones for selfies article is a very long read. Thus, if you don't have the time or patience to go through the entire article, below is the list of smartphones with their front camera specification.

2. Vivo X80

The Vivo X80 series was only released a few days ago and this series has two smartphones - Vivo X80 and X80 Pro. Just like other Vivo smartphones, the camera department is the main selling point of this device. The Vivo X50 Pro uses a 32MP (f/2.5 wide-angle, 1/2.8", 0.8µm) single front camera.

However, it is one of the pretty decent smartphones for selfies. It uses an impressive 32MP front camera. Only a few devices mostly from Vivo have better (in terms of pixel size) with 44MP. This premium mid-range smartphone comes with a significant performance increase. The amazing hardware (fine-tuned processor) further supports the front camera for a "perfect" selfie output.

[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

First off, the Galaxy M53 camera offers wide-angle shots, this is not very common for the front camera. Furthermore, this smartphone also supports 4K videos, another selling point of the front camera. The optimizations of the camera are even more interesting than the pixel size. Samsung packs a host of software optimization to improve the selfie quality. This device comes with better image stabilization and a night mode for low-light photography.

Key front camera specifications:

  • 32 MP sensor with 0.8µm pixels
  • Fixed-focus f/2.2-aperture lens
  • HDR; 26mm (wide), 1/2.8"
  • 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps

Samsung Galaxy M53 succinct specs preview

The Samsung Galaxy M53 comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display. This display isn't exactly of the same level as high-end flagships but you will get a super-bright display with 394 PPI density. This smartphone supports a resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels and a display ratio of 20:9 ratio.

Under the hood, this device comes with a mid-range processor, MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC. This chip is not flagship but it offers enough power and a lag-free experience. The Galaxy M53 also comes with up to 6GB / 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. However, the internal storage is expandable with a microSD card up to 512GB.

5. Huawei P50 Pro

A few months ago, Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei officially released the Huawei P50 series. The Pro model of this series, the Huawei P50 Pro, almost instantly climbed to the top of the selfie ranking on DxOMark. In fact, its rear camera is also the best smartphone camera on DxOMark ranking. We didn't have to struggle with the decision to include this device as one of the top smartphones for selfies. This smartphone also made our top 10 smartphones for selfies in August. However, continues to have a spot here due to its blistering performance.

[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

The Huawei P50 Pro front camera specification is not very different from last year's Mate 40 Pro. This device comes with a 13 MP Sony IMX688 sensor (f/2.4-aperture lens with an 18 mm-equivalent focal length). Although this sensor is just 13MP, it performs better than many 32MP front cameras in the market. The front camera optimizations from Huawei are also another beautiful aspect of this device.

Unlike the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, the Huawei P50 Pro front camera comes with phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) system. This makes this smartphone the first Huawei device to come with this technology. The Chinese manufacturer also uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize the image quality of the front camera.

For better videos, the Huawei P50 Pro comes with staggered HDR processing and improved EIS (electronic image stabilization). While the HDR improves the image quality in low-light conditions and the wider lenses stabilize the image effect, the EIS helps with cropping and blurred images.

Generally, the Huawei P50 Pro front camera has very good exposure in both photos and videos. It also comes with a wide dynamic range while the white balance is quite accurate. Nevertheless, in low-light environments, the details are not as good and some noise may appear. Occasionally, users may experience autofocus and inaccurate skin tone issues. The dynamic range also significantly reduces in low-light videos.

Key front camera specifications:

  • 13 MP 1/2.8″ sensor with 1.22µm pixel size
  • 18 mm-equivalent lens with f/2.4 aperture
  • PDAF, EIS
  • 4K video, 2160p/60 fps, (2160p/30 fps tested)

Huawei P50 Pro succinct specifications

This smartphone comes with a 6.6-inch OLED display that supports a resolution of 1228 x 2700 pixels (~450 PPI density). Under the hood, we have a Kirin 9000 5nm chip that supports 5G. However, it is important to note that the Huawei P50 Pro can only use this device with 4G network. In addition to the Kirin 9000, some models of this device use the Snapdragon 888 4G SoC. This chip is also a 5nm processor that supports only 4G. This means that the Huawei P50 Pro does not support 5G connectivity.

In addition to the processors, this flagship smartphone also has up to 12GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB of internal storage. On the rear, it uses a quad camera setup. It has a 50MP main camera, a 13MP (ultrawide), 64MP periscope telephoto, and a 40MP black and white sensor. To keep its lights on, this device uses a 4360 mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging, and 50W wireless fast charging. This flagship smartphone is the first device to come with HarmonyOS 2 out-of-the-box. Of course, it does not support Google Mobile Services.

6. Huawei Mate 40 Pro

There is a reason why the Huawei Mate 40 Pro is on top of DxOMark's selfie camera rating with 104 points. This smartphone uses some of the best selfie camera optimizations in the industry. In our previous edition, we listed the Huawei P40 Pro+ which also has a great selfie camera. Nevertheless, Huawei Mate 40 Pro offers much more

[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

Key front camera specifications:

  • Primary 13 MP 1/2.8″ sensor
  • f/2.4 - aperture lens with 18 mm-equivalent focal length
  • Time-of-flight camera for depth estimation
  • Fixed focus
  • Display-flash
  • 4K video at 30fps

The Huawei P40 Pro comes with Face Beautification. With this feature, you just relax and let the phone do all the editing for you. One of the strengths of the Huawei P40 Pro is its noise reduction, good colour exposure, and excellent bokeh. With the dedicated IR sensor, the bokeh shots are nothing short of excellent. This sensor provides accurate depth estimation and masking around the subject during background blur. While the focus is great, it is probably the only aspect of this camera that the industry has better. Nevertheless, the focus capture faces perfectly at close range but appears to lose details as the distance gets longer (even using a selfie stick).

Whether you are dealing with indoor or outdoor shooting, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ is pretty impressive. The accurate autofocus and image stabilization make this camera even more attractive. Overall, there is very little or nothing to complain about with the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+

Huawei Mate 40 Pro succinct spec preview

Before you fall in love with any Huawei device presently, it's important to know that it does not come with Google Mobile Services. This means that you can have access to Google Play Store. No Gmail, Google Map, YouTube, nothing. Thus, if you are living outside China, you may want to think about this before you consider this device. Although Huawei has HMS, which is supposed to be an alternative for GMS, it is not quite at GMS's level and is still lacking some relevant apps. However, if GMS is not a problem, this smartphone has some interesting specs

Under the hood, there is a 4,200 mAh battery that supports a 66W fast charge, 50W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging. The battery department is one of the selling points of this smartphone. As of now, there are not many smartphones with 40W wireless charging capacity in the industry.

7. Huawei P40 Pro

If the Huawei P40 Pro is better than the Mate 40 Pro, it would be because of its double pixel size. The Huawei P40 Pro comes with a 32MP 1/2.74-inch sensor and a 26mm-equivalent lens with f/2.2 aperture. Furthermore, this smartphone comes with a dual-camera setup on the front. This is the latest trend in the smartphone market. No doubt, it deserves a place on the smartphones for selfies list. The camera comes with a bokeh mode that uses a secondary infrared (IR) camera for depth sensing and also supports autofocus.

[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

Key front camera specifications:

  • Dual front camera
  • 32MP 1/2.74-inch sensor with 0.8µm pixels

  • IR 3D sensor for depth estimation and autofocus
  • 4K 2160/30fps video

Before the arrival of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, the P40 Pro was on top of DxOMark front camera ranking for many months. This smartphone comes with top-notch focus with no instabilities. At close and medium range, the capture of users' faces is very sharp. At longer distances, the faces are sharp, however, there is some noise in the background. Despite the loss of background details from a longer range, the performance of this device's front camera is still perfect.

The exposure, colour, flash, noise, and bokeh effect are the strong parts of this smartphone. With the Huawei P40 Pro dedicated IR sensor ensures that its bokeh shots are very impressive. The depth estimation for this device is good and it perfectly eliminates all objects in the background with its blur.

In addition to the top performance of the front camera for images, the video performance is also excellent. According to users, the video and 4K capacity of this smartphone are excellent. It has top exposures, accurate autofocus, effective stabilization as well as pleasant colours. Even in low light conditions, the 4K front camera is not entirely the best but its top quality. If you need good front camera output in terms of images and videos, the Huawei P40 Pro is a smartphone to consider.

Huawei P40 Pro succinct spec preview

This smartphone comes with a 6.58 inch AMOLED display that supports a resolution of 1200 x 2640 pixels (~441 PPI density).

This device comes with EMUI 10.1 on top of Android 10 with no Google Play Services.

8. Google Pixel 6 Pro

When it comes to cameras, Google is one of the best in the industry. It will be strange to have a new Pixel smartphone that does not have a decent camera. However, Google is one of those companies that prove that a higher pixel does not mean a better camera. The Google Pixel 6 series comes with the highest-ever pixel camera on a Pixel smartphone. This smartphone uses an 11.1MP camera, this is not a mistake, it actually uses an 11.1MP camera. Nevertheless, the exposure of this camera is pretty decent. This is why it has a spot in this list of top smartphones for selfies.

The battery department is one of the selling points of this smartphone.

9. Xiaomi 12 Pro

In addition to the fact that this is Xiaomi's latest flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 12 has a decent front camera. However, this device does not come cheap as you will have to spend no less than $900 to own it. Released in December 2021, the Xiaomi 12 Pro comes with an impressive 32MP front camera. If you are someone that loves chasing pixel size, then you will not be disappointed. However, the front camera is not only wonderful for its selfie camera, but it also has some specific hardware tuning for a "perfect" selfie output.

[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

The front camera of the Xiaomi 12 Pro is from Chinese manufacturer, OmniVision (OV32B40). First off, this camera is able to shoot images that will cover the entire screen. The aspect ratio of the image is 16:9 or 4:3. Of course, with this resolution, the images obviously great and appealing. Furthermore, Xiaomi adds a beauty mode which is active by default. However, users can choose to adjust this mode relative to their preferences or completely deactivate it. In addition, this smartphone's front camera has Cinematic Effects that users can also activate. There is also a portrait mode with a decent effect that delivers top-notch selfies. However, with the portrait mode, HDR is not available.

In the video aspect, the Xiaomi 12 Pro front camera can record videos at Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) and 30/60 frames per second. It can also record 720p at 120 frames per second. Furthermore, the front camera video has a subtitle feature that is pretty accurate. You should try it out.

Key front camera specifications:

  • 32 MP sensor with 0.7µm pixels
  • Fixed-focus f/2.0-aperture lens
  • HDR, panorama; 26mm (wide), 1/2.8"
  • 1080p@30/60fps, 720p@120fps

Xiaomi 12 Pro succinct specs preview

The Xiaomi 12 Pro comes with a 6.73-inch LTPO AMOLED display that supports 1B colors, 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 1500 nits peak brightness. This display supports 1440 x 3200 pixels resolution and has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The pixel density is 521 PPI thus you have a high-end level display.

Under the hood, this device comes with a flagship processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. This chip is the best Android flagship processor in the market and it offers enough power and a lag-free experience. The Xiaomi 12 Pro also comes with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot, thus, you can not further expand the internal storage of this device. On the rear, it has a triple 50MP camera setup.

10. Asus Zenfone 7 Pro

It is not a surprise that Asus's latest flagship, Zenfone 7 Pro makes the list. This is actually the second time that this device will make our top 10 smartphones for selfies list. The selfie camera of this smartphone is basically the rear camera. The Asus Zenfone 7 Pro comes with a rotating camera design such that the rear camera module can rotate to the front for selfies. Thus, it ditches the regular smartphone design of a set of cameras on the rear and another in front. The implication of this is that the front camera uses the same camera hardware as the rear. Obviously, it will be hard to beat.

[#8] Top 10 smartphones for selfies - Huawei & Vivo tops the list

Key front camera specifications:

  • Rotating triple-camera
  • Primary 64 MP 1/1.72″ sensor, an f/1.8-aperture lens with 26 mm-equivalent focal length, PDAF

The front camera of the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro has a triple camera setup. This includes a 64 MP Quad-Bayer sensor, a 12 MP ultra-wide, and an 8MP telephoto camera. We can see the rest of the details in the specs sheet above.

Looking at the camera performance, this smartphone ticks all the boxes for still images. It comes with excellent exposure in all environments (light or dark), a wide dynamic range as well as accurate colors with nice skin tones. The large sensor outputs excellent details and the texture is overkill for a front camera. The bokeh effect is perfect and for each image, the noise level is nonexistent in the user's face but slightly available in the background.

The Zenfone 7 Pro autofocus system is one of the best in the industry for front cameras. Thus, there is always an excellent focus irrespective of the shooting distance.

In terms of its video quality, this device is the best globally. This is because it outputs excellent texture and details. Even in low light conditions, it has a very good exposure where its competitors struggle. Just like in the images, for videos, there is little or no noise
