The comparison above is between the iPhone SE (pictured left) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 (pictured right). When it comes to the rear-facing camera, both models have the same megapixel count (12). But, when it's time for selfies, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is quicker to open and takes better photos. With the Samsung phone's new "Beauty Mode," which enhances eyes, skin tone, and other facial features, the selife game competition is strong. You can always adjust the settings in beauty mode, so if you want a more natural look, that's available. But even with it on, the background is much more true to what it's like in real life and the area around the hair gets less washed out.
Considering how much people love and embrace selifes these days, it's a little bit annoying giving up this image quality when it's available on other smartphones.
