I agree with tigermcm, it does look like it may have one. I would be surprised if it didn't. A lot of phones now come standard with the front-facing camera, even free on-contract phones.

good choice if you don't have the money. if you have the money, I would recommend something else, like the htc 8x if you like wp8 or droid dna otherwise
