If you are looking for a phone with good selfie cameras, from budget to premium, here are some of the best Android phones you can buy right now.
The newly launched Nothing Phone (2a) Plus, a faster version of the Nothing Phone (2a) boasts a 50MP front camera that can record videos in 4K, making it one of the cheapest mid-range devices to have a good selfie shooter.
