Front Camera : 24MP (f/1.8) + 5MP (f/2.2), auto focus, SONY IMX362, LED flash
Rear Camera : 16MP, SONY IMX351

The rear camera quality is above average whereas the front camera quality is excellent. The front camera can shoot in portrait mode in normal and wide angle mode. If you use the 24MP duo Pixel mode for selfie it shoots better but without portrait mode.

This handset can shoot 4K videos and there is EIS,. Electronic Image stabilization that works in FHD mode. Overall the camera quality is pretty good and is a perfect option for selfie lovers.
