Imaging hardware is quite interesting. The 13 MP front shooter has its own Dual LED flash, f/2.2 aperture and 22 mm wide angle lens for detailed selfies. A similar 13 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, 28 mm wide angle lens and Dual LED flash is also present for primary photography.

Split capture lets you combine images from front and rear camera and Crop Me let’s you merge yourself in the scenes captured from the rear camera.
