    While I realize that there are people for whom having a camera aimed at themselves is really important, I have to say that I have virtually never used the self-facing camera on a phone.

    Honestly, every videoconference I’ve ever done on a computer for woek could have really been done just fine with a audio-only call too.

    I’d be pretty comfortable getting a phone that just drops the self-facing camera. Could just use a USB-attached webcam if I ever ran into a very rare situation where I really critically wanted the ability to videoconference on a phone.

    Now, okay, that’s not true for everyone. For some people’s uses, having a self-facing camera is legitimately important. But at least for my own uses, I’d rather just have the extra pixels.
