Which phone takes natural-looking yet flattering selfies? Is OPPO or vivo better?

Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?

In The Round Practice
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.

Exploring a different angle.....
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

I like this, James! Particularly having only the reflections, and their being suggestive, yet ambiguous. The warm, subdued colour & tonal palette also takes the image further from the cool look we (I?) expect from water, adding to the appeal. Simple in concept, but well executed and very effective . Well done.
I like it too!
It reminds me of one of my influencing photographers, Jay Maisel.
Thanks Chris and Dan. I appreciate your comments and insight. I don’t usually think that way while shooting or stylizing so I find your observations most enlightening. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. I’m with Dan re: Jay Maisel.
Me too! He's one of my faves.
Chris, great image! I appreciate the dichotomy created by the ripples in the water and the straight geographic grid / lines of the buildings and their features. Lest I stray too far afield, this would make a great jigsaw puzzle image. My parents always have one underway and I could see them being challenged by this..... Well envisioned and executed!
I think a jigsaw of this could drive people mad, Gary!
