6. Xiaomi Mi 5
The front camera of the Mi 5 is surprisingly good. It has a resolution of 4 MP and manages to escape the wax textures, a constant presence in the photography modes of most other smartphones. A trick used to overcome the limitations of the front sensors, in part thanks to the pixel size of 2 µm.

7. Motorola Moto X Style
Moto X Style is Motorola’s current top of the line and; in addition to all its technical advantages, it has an excellent 5 MP front sensor aimed at selfies. Motorola camera software is simple, has no embellishment adjustments or extra post-editing features. However, the Moto X Style has a front LED flash that can help capture self-portraits in less favored lighting environments.
The results obtained with the help of this flash are great, however, this feature should be used sparingly, since it can explode the exposure of the image when used close to the face. In any case, choose to use the Moto X Style flash in an environment that is adequately lit, that is, neither completely dark nor too bright.
