+1 This 32 MP selfie thing is an example of marketing hype. In optics, there is something called "empty magnification"; this seems to be an example for it.
Me neither. I use the selfie camera for two reasons. To see if my face has gone a fetching shade of purple (I do this from time to time, inflammatory condition) or to scare myself into shitting myself because I'm going out and need a dump for convenience's sake. Other than that, it really is useless. Even if I'm doing a video call, the odds are I'm going to want the forward facing camera because the ONLY reason for a video call for me is to see something I'm instructing on fixing on the other end or vice versa.
This is just a "big number better" thing to sell to idiots who will part with large amounts of money without bothering to research properly.
Also, to respond to the article's title. No one wants to see me loving myself and the only advantage of that resolution is the light sensitivity will be so low you won't see bugger all anyway.
If a security app can't unlock your phone with 2 MP, it won't do better with 32 really tiny MP. Higher grade face recognition requires both good algos and some machine learning AND good depth detection, as that is what you need to defeat somebody using a picture to trick the face detection. So, unless those 32 MP improve that, not likely.
The world doesn't need another picture of the Eiffel Tower. We have enough. If you aren't taking a picture with you in it, there's really no point. Drop the snark.
A very unpleasant situation. But when you solve the problem - go to our website https://jetbride.com/ choose a wife and shoot hot videos. A lot of girls of different nationalities and different ages

What's the point of 32MP behind a tiny crappy lens?shabby - Thursday, February 28, 2019 - link
Or a tiny sensor with tiny pixels.rrinker - Thursday, February 28, 2019 - link
Because all the sheep will say "OMG! 32 megapixels! That's like, WAY more than 8 megapixels in that crappy Brand X phone!"s.yu - Friday, March 1, 2019 - link
Too many sheep in this world.Ej24 - Thursday, February 28, 2019 - link
Exactly. A more sensible 8-12MP BSI sensor with OIS and an f1.2 or 1.4 aperture would have been far more impressive and useful for the end user.jabber - Saturday, March 2, 2019 - link
Maybe even a 4MP large pixel f1.2 for that even better light pulling effect. 99% of pics are just seen on monitor/phone screens after all.eastcoast_pete - Sunday, March 3, 2019 - link
