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!

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.

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)

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).

Oh, thank you for clarifying this, it definitely explains the big difference.

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.
Is selfie camera there better that in the latest iPhone?

Yes, the iPhone 12 selfie camera is definitely better than the Find X2 Pro.

Why OnePlus can't make night mode for selfie camera?

The night mode in this phone is amazing with details and faces
Why OnePlus doesn't wanna make night mode for front camera in stock app like other companies?
That will be great
Selfie auto not great
Faces are soft and HDR is bad

Selfie / front camera improvements in august firmware update

Hi,
I am considering the Oneplus 8 Pro, but am a little worried about the selfie cam. Will not be using it much, but sometimes it's nice to be able to snap a selfie. Reviews I have seen are showing that the picutres are OK, but the colours are off (too white/bright). Especially indoors. I noticed the changelog for the August firmware update included "selfie cam improvements" so was wondering if there is any noticable improvement?
Opper
Selfie cam still performs very badly indoors.
Workaround would be to use GCam.
Haven't noticed any different....

Is it much better with the GCam app? I could wait for 8t but I doubt that one has wireless charging.
Can someone maybe post an example with gcam and normal in terms of selfie?
