I just got my Galaxy S6 on Monday.
I've noticed that the front facing camera on my S6 will not focus on my face if I try to take a picture. The rear camera is wonderful, and I've looked at the front camera on a friend's S6 and it was fine. So it just seems to be my phone. Otherwise, I love it and think it's great.
But what's the deal with my blurry front camera?

It's a known problem with Galaxy S6/S6 Edge phones. Try shaking the phone very aggressively to fix it.

So I searched the forums and looked up few threads and saw a couple people complaning about noisy cams and pink spots. But didn't see anyone with a purple front cam problem and couldn't find examples. My problem is with my front cam it is normally a little bit grainy and not so good but I am not complaining. But when I cover the lens with my finger it is bad, really bad. I mean look at it, is this supposed to be black ? Now I am thinking it is not a software problem because my back cam does not have this. So I think this is a hardware thingy. My question is, is this how the front cam works or is it a defect ? Can you guys please post some front cam photos with lens covered?
I have the same problem and idk how to fix that problem, i tried manual and superior mode and same problem :/

Do you also have it only in your front cam or do you have the problem in both back and front cams ? Can you post a pic from your front cam while your lens is covered ? Because I am starting to think that this is the way front cam supposed works. If we can see pics from some other Z3's, we can conculede.

My phone's front facing camera gives my face a blurry look while background seems to be finely focused. I know that this has been a problem for many s7 users too. I wonder what you guys think about that if i go to samsung service and have my front camera changed, can this problem possibly be solved ? Anyone tried this yet? , any results?
I think it may have to do with the fact that the camera is fixed focus, not autofocus like almost any other phone front camera. Having it replaced might not do much if the error is within the phone's configuration (in the NAND), but if Samsung will do it for free, why not try?
I really want a solution to this annoying detail. Looking for people who tried this as a solution and got any result on this particular problem.
But as you said, why not if it's free of charge.
i got a new camera in my s7 and its same...i told them it makes blurry images and they replaced the camera but its the same again...still blurry...background is fine but my face is smudged...even 5 year old nokia does it better... someone sad that sgs7 front camera is set to infinity mode ,but u cant change it so ur stuck with it....shame on Samsung....overall probably the best in android world ,specialy the back camera focus... and for the note Samsung will replace ur camera for free...THEY MUST!!! hope i helped u clarify things...cheers.
I have tested my Black Onyx S7 and havent had any issues with the internal 'selfie' camera.
Clear and sharp images of my grumbly mug at the office,, working on a weekend *grumble*
Might be worth checking with Samsung, see if they will swap it out and offer some feedback?
Thanks for the experience sharing. I know that many samsung s7 has this problem but what frustrates me is that i checked one other s7 in store and it was better in quality in terms of sharpness and details. So why not my phone have that quality. That is my problem
This is a flagship phone and s4 takes better selfies. Samsung should beware of this problem, should feel sorry and replace front cameras with better ones in services.
Got a new s8+ and the camera doesnt seem up to par. I took a picture of a can on it as wwll as my note 4. Zoomed in and its much clearer on my note 4. Pics just seem blurry on it too. Even where focused. Any ideas?
I just bought the redmi note 6 pro and i have a problem with the front facing camera.
That its not focusing on distant objects... I mean, it capture selfies just fine but its not focusing on infinit.
Is the front facing camera fixed focus or is my device faulty?
The front camera is fixed focus camera. Its focus lies in the range of your hand.
Fron 3,4 months i have this problem. My S6 cam can't focus. Always stay blurry like the image. Only back camera. I tried all the things by searching Google and YouTube but no help. How to fix?! Do i need to replace the camera?
