I have never taken a selfie in my entire life. The feature is entirely pointless for me. Are there any smartphones that don’t have a front facing camera?
How do you check for stuff in your teeth tho
Alexa, what is a mirror?
A mirror is a thing I don’t always have in my pocket. My phone, however…
ITT: people who are never more than 2’ from a mirror, apparently. Wtf y’all live and work in fucking Versailles?
If we’re lucky, someone might eventually invent some sort of reflective wall we can look at
Personally I don’t always carry a mirror but snark noted
You could get a fair phone and remove the camera.
Not exactly the same but I bought a used OnePlus 7 Pro when they started cutting holes in my display.
It has a pop up selfie camera so you can a) see when it is active and b) don’t have any notches on your screen.
Also makes for a great party gag.
No mass market phone will come without selfie camera. And any special purpose phones will be too expensive. Maybe just buy one without notch and put a tape on it?
I use my front facing camera to see under things all the time. It’s very useful, even though I don’t take selfies. I’m an engineer though so I probably spend more time looking under things than most.
I don’t think of it as a selfie camera, I think of it as a camera for video calls.
For me it’s a giant hole in my screen that doesn’t serve any purpose.
Just don’t use it, or put some sticker on it.
yea, but you’re still paying for it
You’re not. You’re getting it as a free bonus to the personal pocket computer that also has all the phone functions and some more.
I’d rather not have it at all tbh.
Not sure why it bothers you so much. Any benefit you’d have by not having it is practically negated by your limited choices for phones.
Like I said, it’s a feature I never use. The selfie camera is completely pointless for me and I’d rather not have it.
This is like saying you don’t want an apartment/house with a bathtub because you don’t take baths. Most people choose based on features they want regardless if it has one feature they won’t use. It’s just not generally worth the tradeoff of limiting your options when it’s such a common feature. If you absolutely can’t use a phone with a front facing camera though, then good luck with your search (genuine, not sarcastic).
I think it’s more like putting selfie cameras in computer monitors. That would also be a completely useless feature for me.
Some banking apps are asking for live-selfies for authentication, so it’s not entirely useless.
