How critical is a "selfie"-supported phone in modern day terms? Just ask almost everybody about the joy of taking a good selfie and uploading it on their concerend social media pages like Facebook and Twitter.
The basic concept of a selfie involves taking you own face shot (either alone or with friends) via the camera that's placed at the front of the camera. Needless to say, the trend has caught on with movie stars, football players and other similar personalities getting into the act.
But having a front-facing camera is absolutely necessary in modern day terms. Take for example, the prviously released Motorola Moto G. While the phone caught on well with users in the budget section, it did receive a bit of stick simply because Motorola decided against a front facing camera on the device.
Keeping up with the times, Sony recently launched its own selfie phone dubbed the Sony Xperia C3 for all those who enjoy the concept. Apparently, the phone comes with a 5MP front camera with LED flash support to it as well. The idea here is to take selfies even in low light or night conditions.
But while the Xperia C3 has been made only with selfies in mind, Sony knows that it isn't the only selfie-oriented smartphone in the market. There are still others who offer a great front camera support for a similar purpose.
So which are the top selfie phones in the market, apart from the newly released Xperia C3? We take a look at the top 5 smartphones with the best selfie support.

The device's 84-degree wide angle lens in front captures more than you can imagine (plus that fifth friend of yours who you thought would miss out on that memorable group selfie). In fact, you got to check that 84-degree wide angle lens to believe it.
