HTC Desire Eye Packs the World’s Highest Resolution Selfie Camera, Weighs in at 13MP

Front facing cameras on smartphones have traditionally been dwarfed by the camera on the back. After all, you're supposed to take "serious" photos with the rear camera, and the front one is mainly used for things like video conferencing, right?

Well, the emergence of "selfie culture" is changing the game. As more and more people snap and share self-portraits using their front cameras, phones are evolving to meet this need. HTC's new Desire Eye is one such phone: it features the world's most powerful front-facing camera.
