Galaxy S10 uses a ‘cropped’ view for selfies in third-party applications

Samsung bundles a fantastic wide-angle front-facing camera on the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e; however, they aren’t able to capture an outspread frame in all scenarios, it has been revealed — the South Korean firm locks down the field-of-view for aftermarket applications.

What we mean by that is that the API (that’s the level of code that provides developers with access to core device functions) Samsung created for the front-facing camera, which is used by several social networks and communication services — like Facebook, Instagram and Skype — crops the frame.

It’s unclear why Samsung made this decision, but some have speculated it was on the cusp of a limitation imposed by Google that restricts the maximum field of view aftermarket Android applications can tap into for the front-facing camera to create a unified experience across all devices.

Samsung’s kept quiet about the whole ordeal

The reason could also be a lot more straightforward: utilising the camera’s wide field-of-view could require extra leg work from developers, who’ve been lax at implementing it. But again, that’s just a theory — we’ve reached out to Samsung for comment and will update this article when we hear back.
