Is the camera on the front or back of the phone? Is it ideal for skyping?

Camera's on the backslide of the phone. A lens on the face-side of the phone would be great. Doesn't work well with Snapchat or Skype.

The phone does not have a front camera which is required for Skype and other video chat apps.

I used this phone three years ago with Skype, but don't have frontal camera. I don't know if just now can install skype.

It has a back facing camera (for Skype), and a front facing relatively low resolution pictures, but I would use something else for "photos". To be honest, I hadn't even looked until you asked the question.

It has a front side camera for things such as facial recognition feature, skype, and other stuff.

Yes it does have a front camera, but DO NOT buy this phone. My family and I all had this phone , it is the absolute worst phone I have ever owned. The camera is horrible it will not take a clear picture, the sound is horrible it is not clear by any means there is a lot of static to the sound. Every single time I plugged headphones into it I could only listen to about two songs before the phone would turn itself off EVERY TIME! I WOULD NOT RECOMMENDED THIS PHONE

It does have a forward facing 3 megapixel camera. It's not great but it's enough to get you by for a Skype call. I think the camera is actually the biggest downfall for the tablet but for the price it is a definite great buy...

Hello Katie, I bought this phone from Amazom.com last year November 2013 and its video call works very well. It has 5.0 mega pixels for the front camera and 13.0 mega pixels for the rear camera. I have used it several times for video calls on Skype, Viber and Tango and it was smooth. I am really glad i bought this phone. If you are interested in this phone just go for it. It's a money worth phone.

Yes, it has front and back cameras like an iPhone but have to be honest, the picture quality is absolutely HORRIBLE and nowhere in the league of what even most phones have today.

it has a front facing camera...in theory it could be used to record video with an app of some sort, though i haven't used it for that purpose as of yet.

Yes, it has a front-facing camera, as well as a one on the back side. The front-one is a 1.3-mega pixel. It's "OK" quality for shooting Skype/Face-time video.

Camera is rear facing only - isn't going to work well at all for Skype vid, speaker isn't loud enough really on it's own, headphones would be ok. Mic seems fine.

Yes, the phone supports Chat on Skypebut there is no front camera so you wont be able to see the person.
