Selfie Mobile Phones

Crowned as the Oxford Dictionary Word of the Year in 2013, Selfie is a something that we are all well aware of. So well aware, that today's generation is said to be living a culture of selfies - thus driving mobile phone manufactures to make smartphones with better front camera. Not one party or event today is done or called for the day, unless there are a few selfies clicked here and there. If you saw this, say three years ago, you could be forgiven for feeling a little awkward being around women making a duck face, posing with the back of their smartphones, clicking pictures. However today, the site so familiar that you would perhaps feel out of place when someone is not doing that.

Seeing the growth of this selfie culture several brands recognised that clicking your own pictures from the rear camera of a smartphone is not the smartest idea and therefore is an area that can be a major value add. This all happened at a time where video calling was already a bit of norm and therefore front facing cameras on smartphones were present, even if they were really bad in quality. The primary focus of the front facing cameras then was to capture a reasonable quality video and transmit the same without using a lot of bandwidth given the restricted internet connectivity. Once the selfie culture grew, there was a dire need of a phone that would take good still photographs in addition to the video recording capabilities that was always around.

This is precisely where a selfie smartphone as a term was coined and while it was just a way of standing out and market the device based on the current trends, Selfie phones simply meant smartphones which will be able to capture good selfies. Since then, several phones with great imaging sensors for the front facing camera have been announced, in fact some of these front facing cameras are better than the rear cameras of phones that are barely two years ago. Add to it, you have technologies in place like wide angle and flash light for the front facing camera for enhanced selfies, you know how important the feature has been for the people. The likes of Oppo N1 and Gionee Elife E7 Mini in fact had a swivelling camera where all the qualities of the rear camera could be used for the front facing camera because of the swivel.
