I have never taken a selfie in my entire life. The feature is entirely pointless for me. Are there any smartphones that don’t have a front facing camera?
Just don’t use it, or put some sticker on it.
You’re not. You’re getting it as a free bonus to the personal pocket computer that also has all the phone functions and some more.
How about the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro it had a flip around camera which made the normal camera the selfie cam aswell. Or maybe the Xiaomi Mi 9T not really without a front camera but it had a pop up camera so you won’t see it when you don’t use it.
They look pretty interesting, but they were released 3-4 years ago. Is there anything more recent?

I am currently using the Xiaomi Mi 9T for the exact reason that it was one of the last phones to not have a hole in the display for the camera.
Yes, Xiaomi stopped giving it software updates, but you can install Lineage OS if you want to upgrade to newer Android versions.
Apart from that the phone still runs very smooth with everyday use and there is not much I am missing.
It’s not smart but I remember there used to be a flip model of LG than had the camera in the hinge and you could roll it to either side.
I don’t think of it as a selfie camera, I think of it as a camera for video calls.
It’s often also used to detect if you’re holding it to your ear, which allows the phone to switch off the screen when you’re in a call.
My phone, Poco F2 Pro has a motorized selfie camera, and as I barely use it it is almost as if it didn’t have one.
It is awesome to have a full display of 6.67" with no notches or punch holes of any sort.
In a similar vein, the One Plus has a selfie camera which retracts. For all intents and purposes as close as you’ll get
The retractable cameras are fun, as you always know when an app uses it.
I’ve had it two times now, that I sat on the shitter and wanted to search something on the builtin chrome browser, and voila! Front cam pops up!
Wasn’t even anything with video or images.
