How Important Are Front-Facing Cameras to You? [Poll]
It’s been a long time since the first Android device with a front-facing camera launched, and the phenomenon has since spread like wildfire. It’s one of the biggest marketing points for OEMs these days alongside a slew of other buzzwords. Hell, even I was sucked into the EVO 4G by its front-facing camera and I rarely, if ever, use it. There is a very small amount of people in my address book who have front-facing cameras on their phones, and only one or two of them actually use it. Those one or two people I rarely speak to in voice and in person, let alone on video.
If I were to switch to a phone without a front-facing camera, I wouldn’t even care. Sure, I’d lose the self-portrait ability that I tend to use from time to time for profile pictures on various social networks, but I could always do it the old fashioned way and turn my device around hoping that I got all of my ginormous head into the shot on the first try.
So are you like me? Are front-facing cameras valuable to your experience? I know there are people who actively video call, but even those who do, would you ever be willing to let go of a front-facing camera for a phone that has nearly everything else you’ve ever wanted? And for those who don’t use them now, was the front camera even a small factor in your purchase decision? Let’s hear it below.
