iPhone X camera: Front vs back

Hello šŸ™‚

If I was to record a video of myself, would there be a noticeable difference between using the front camera and the back camera? I have looked a bit around, but I couldn't seem to find the specifications of both cameras anywhere. Maybe I'm just bad at google-ing, idk.


Thank you very much šŸ˜

iMovie 10, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

The front facing camera can take 1080p 30fps video. But the rear camera can take 4K at 60fps or even 1080p at 240fps and the quality is way better. So if you want good video go with the rear camera! Also you must change the video recording quality settings in Camera panel in the settings app to take 4K or other.
