3G Video Calling Mobile Phones in India

A few days back, we posted how you can make free mobile video calls using the voip services like Skype, Fring etc. Also with 3G services launched in India, people are excited about making 3G video mobile video calls. However for making a video call, you require a mobile with front camera. Are you looking for a mobile phone with video calling capabilities, read on!

On checking the internet going through various available options of a mobile phone with front camera, I found that a very limited options are available. You will find very few mobile phones with front camera (In Indian market), which will help you make video calls.

If you are having iPhone4 or a Samsung Galaxy S then you can certainly make video calls but again their price is very high. Most of the 3G, Android phones available in Indian market don't have a front camera. I wonder when companies are offering so many features, why are they not offering front camera for video calls.

You may say that "we can place a video call using the primary camera" but think again, will it make any sense :
1. You face the back of mobile, you won't be able to see the other person. Obviously you wont be using a mirror for that :p
2. Also your primary camera will have high resolution video, image which is not suited for video calling, as the video size will be high and very high speed internet is required to transmit it.

Front camera's are specially made for this option only, so if mobile companies are selling their phone claiming 3G, 3G : why are they not offering front camera.

I also checked the middle range mobile phones (many high end mobiles as well) and they Do not have a front camera (be it HTC wildfire, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy 3,5, LG Optimus, Spice Mi 300, Sony xperia x10 Mini).

So, if you are using a 3G phone with front camera, then please post your reviews. Have you tried making video calls using the primary camera ? Please let us know your feedback in the comment section. Lets discuss more about 3G Video Calling Mobile Phones.
