Light is a very important factor

This logic is really simple to understand and that is the reason why you should never expect getting a great pic with Flash Lights available on your smartphones. Moreover, if you are roaming in a cloudy weather and it is hard to get any natural light on the subject, then again search for the artificial source of light, which can a street light, a lamp or anything else to put some decent amount of light over the subject.

Digital Zoom only spoils the image Quality

It is quite different from an Optical Zoom which usually takes place in cameras. In case of optical zoom, lenses actually move and magnify the scenario in front of camera, where as Digital Zoom only zooms the existing image, thus breaking an image into pixels. Hence, there is no point in Zooming and taking any image, it is better to get closer physically and then take the snap.
Focus should be at the right point
You must have observed few times that even if you try to keep your hand stationary, the subject sometimes gets blurred in the snapped image. This is because the focus of the lens was not at the right object, even though most of the smartphone are accompanied by a feature called as Auto-Focus but we would recommend you not to rely on it all the time, especially when you are in hurry to take an image.
The most common gesture to correct the focus point is by tapping on the screen, indicating your camera to focus on that particular point. This will always help you to take the image with a better quality
Use HDR and always emphasize on Primary Camera
Though we have been seeing lot many smartphone with high Mega-Pixel count on the secondary camera, but still they are no match of the primary camera (or the camera available at the back) of your smartphone. Hence, if you want a really good selfie of you and your friends, then it is advised that you try Primary camera instead of the secondary and also take HDR (High Definition Resolution) feature into consideration.
HDR capture multiple frames within a single click and then merges them to provide you with the best quality image. Obviously, taking a selfie with the primary camera is little complicated, but then the kind of results you will see will be fantastic.
