Found that the selfie camera is far too zoomed in due to the screen aspect ratio. This cannot be fixed on apps such as Snapchat and Instagram. Very annoying.

It's true ! The other day I tried to take a selfie with some friends while having dinner and just fitted 2 in the screen shot. (Note 10)

Best selfie camera I've ever had. 16mp plus a flash. Also has the selfie enhancement built into the app to use if desired.
Excellent quality. Portrait mode picture taken by Arnova's Gcam.
The front camera is outstanding.. I really love the quality of the pictures taken from the front cam.
Just a side note about the selfie camera:
It is advertised as a 16MP, but the Moto camera defaults to a 4MP (Adaptive Low Light) setting. You can manually choose the 16MP setting, but it's not selected by default. Also, I have yet to see any 3rd party camera use anything higher than 4MP on the selfie camera. I've tried multiple GCam mods, as well as several camera apps from the Gplay store, and they can only see 4MP as the highest resolution.
I'm not sure if it's a 16MP sensor that down-samples to 4MP for better low-light performance, or if it's a 4MP sensor that up-samples to 16MP. Either way, I'm not complaining about the quality of the images. They're quite nice, and take fantastic photos!

GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3-Front-HDR+
Settings: Nexus 6p, nexus 6p, hdd+ on, face_brackets on
I'm from Brazil and here was noticed that the front camera can't focus objects that are close.
For an example, if you take a selfie, your face won't be focused but only what is behind you.
It is strange that I only see these complains about that here in Brazil.
Does anyone here having the same issue?

People here are commenting that the front camera has a fixed focus, so if you are not in the right distance, the picture will be a little blurry.

Almost every phone has a fixed focus front facing camera. The problem is that, in the X4, the focus distance is way higher than the usual. Half of the Galaxy S7 Flat units has this "problem" aswell, although way worse.
In photos where the subject is a big group of people, this is nice, as most people will be in focus. However, in a closeup selfie you will be very unfocused.
In my experience, the selfie has to be taken with at least 70% of an arm length from you to the phone, so you will be in focus.

I couldn't find the "face_brackets on" in the debugging and tools so I ignored it.
It still works though.

How long is a piece of string?
An unanswerable question. Countless factors exist such as environment used in with the potential of dust/grit entering, faulty parts, etc.
But if you're bored, have a look at this.

Oh yes, thank you!)
I think this retractable thing will break quickly.
OnePlus 7 Pro is one of the best camera selfie.
I don't know if it's just me or the front camera on OP7 Pro sucks. It's all oil painting like pictures. I like the selfie on OP3 more than the OP7Pro. Do you guys get a bit washed out selfie too when in low light? I mean the selfie's good when your out but indoor it's really bad. I hope they fix it with software updates. Even iPhone 6 takes better selfies in low light than OP7 Pro which is a 4-year-old device.
Wooow.
now my phone camera selfie is not working after update v11

I'm not impressed with the selfie camera.
Yes, even I am not liking the results of the selfie camera. The stock app blows out the highlights and background way too much, and smooths out the details.
And with Gcam, HDR is fixed, but the photos appear too contrasty and sharpened.
Which is the best way to extract best selfies from this phone? Anyone?
according to MKBHD pictures taken from front-camera are garbage, is that true?

Nope, he had a faulty unit. It's nowhere near that bad. Check all other reviews, you'll see.

It's not garbage but it certainly is not like a 28k phone too,very bad dynamic range ,and not enough details fi you compare other phones in same price segment or some even lower ,I had Nokia 8.1 and I can definitely say it doesn't come anywhere close to it in selfie department

I feel the same as you. Always either too smoothened or too contrasty. Did you find a solution or a gcam config that delivers "acceptable" results?
Does anyone else have a suggestion?

I am currently using this GCam, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog672/
After installation, goto settings->advanced->CustomLib->Change to Savitar ZA v3
The selfie output is still not perfect, but definitely seems better than the output obtained via Sannity's and MGC's Gcams for me. Give it a shot and let me know.

Thanks for the input. This really seems much better. And something i can live with.

Oneplus 8 Pro has a different selfie camera sensor.
The selfie on Find X2 Pro lacks any kind of stabilization, OP has it stabilized (and well).

No problem Sir.
Find X2 Pro's selfie photos are decent, I'd say average. HDR is present and works well, although in front portrait mode it might overbrighten the image.
Oneplus 8 Pro has it stabilized which makes for much better vlogging experience. On the other hand, Oppo has a night mode for the front camera which drastically improves low light performance.
Personally I'm glad Oppo scrimped on the front camera quality as I almost never use it and a better camera would only increase the price.
It gets a pass. Certainly not as good as the pixel or iPhone. Seems to beautify too much.
I'd agree, the weakest part of the phone - HDR not that good, photos come out soft and stabilization isn't great. Not as good as the OnePlus 8 pro although that's not perfect either, very sharp but makes everyone look red and too warm.
Selfie camera is very poor comparing to other mobiles in the same price range .

Coming from iPhone 11 Pro, i totally agree with you. The selfie mode is way over exposed most of the time and in case you have light coming right in the camera the picture is very bad. The iPhone does it way better.
In definition, when conditions are good (no direct light source in the lens) this sensor is way better than the iPhone's one.

?????? Fanboys rating.....
The front facing camera quality is terrible compared to my old oneplus 6t. The image is noisy and dark. Especially when not taken on preinstalled camera app eg: snapchat.
Just took a selfie in low light and also in portrait mode which I didn't realise existed on the front (maybe it didn't on the 3XL) as I don't really take selfies. It came out pretty good
Bad. Selfies are really bad with Pixel 5. I came to Pixel 5 from 2XL and it took far superior selfies. Pixel 5 selfies are not sharp (misfocused) and they are smoothed out even with all the face retouch settings disabled. I have no idea why, but it lacks the classic "pixel look". Main camera is awesome tho.
I cannot understand why Google makes the images taken from the front camera been not Sharp. Initially the picture is taken sharp but the phone ends up with a not Sharp one
To be honest, the front facing camera is pretty good compared to other Android Smartphones as long as you're using the default Camera App.
I think there's something wrong with the front camera. It's like you cannot turn off face retouch - that's a shame!
There's already a threat at the google forum.
Alternative gcam-versions don't help. It's the same problem on the p4a!
why many Pixel 5 user said that Front Camera really Bad?
