... which I could probably Google. I dropped mine or trod on it or something a few months ago, and it was all the glass on the back which shattered not, the front. So I got a case for it and you'd never know and it causes me no problems. But yesterday somebody spied it and said 'oh no, you camera lense has broken.' And the glass above it indeed had. I hadn't tried to take any photos with it since it was strod on or whatever, and when I did (yesterday) the results were a bit blurry. So then I reversed the picture so it was portrait mode or whatever it's called when its looking back at you. And it seemed burry too. But hold on, what work is my lense doing there? How does a camera take a photo when it's pointing back at you when it only has one lense and that's facing the other way? I'm confused, and not a little turned on.

It's nothing to do with the lens on the back.

There's a small lens and camera on the front.

Oh yeah, you can locate it by sticking your fat finger around the screen.

So you is the one on the back flashier? Because it doesn't need to condense as many pixels of your fat face as what it needs to use when taking a panoramic shot while also handling a close up, like the one on the back? I imagine not, but I like a guess.

Generally the front-facing camera is technically poorer. Lower resolution, probably fixed-focus, no infra red filter (if you work with fibre optic cables this can be good to know).
