You don't really need to snap 40 selfies.. then use the finest one.... (PS.. you actually look like the 39 you discarded )

Anyways... here are the tips Straight Up!!

1. Clean Your Lens

It may seem a bit obsessive to carry around a
lens cloth for your phone, but keeping the lens's
optical path clean is one of the most basic ways
to improve picture quality. Whether your lens
sits flush with the phone's exterior or even
worse, extends outward, it's inevitable that a
finger or other oil-depositing object will
frequently come into contact with its clear
protective cover, leaving residue that can smear
image details.


2. Get a (good) Grip

There's no denying the convenience and
portability of a smartphone compared to even a
compact standalone camera. It's equally true,
however, that the small size and light weight of
smartphones can actually make them more
difficult to hold steady while taking a picture.
And a shaky camera equals a blurry photo. The
most stable method of holding your smartphone
is with two hands, whether you're holding the
phone in a horizontal (landscape) or vertical
(portrait) format. Just as with a dedicated
camera, keep your elbows tucked in towards
your body and hold the phone closer to your
face rather than extending it at arm's length.


3. Zoom With Your Feet

All current native smartphone lenses have a
fixed focal length, and it's a relatively wide one,
anywhere from about 28mm to 35mm
(compared to a full frame camera sensor). Any
zoom features on offer are of the digital, rather
than optical variety. This means that the image
is simply resized, or more specifically,
upsampled, after the image is taken to produce
a magnified view. Digital zoom always produces
a lower quality, less detailed image.


4. Shoot in Good Light

The best hand-holding technique in the world
won't help much if your subject is moving
during the length of the exposure. Smartphone
lenses have a fixed aperture (the size of the
lens opening) so one way your camera controls
scene brightness is via the shutter speed (the
amount of time the sensor receives light). When
you shoot in low light, the shutter will stay open
longer to allow enough light to produce an
image. Unfortunately, this can make it all too
easy to record even the slightest movement by
your subject. This is known as motion blur.


5. Use an Anti-shake App

There are times, obviously, when you're forced
to hold your smartphone in a less than ideal
position or shoot in dim light. In those instances,
you'll be thankful for having an app with an
'anti-shake' option. Apps include Procamera for
IOs or Camera Zoom Fx for Android.

Finally,

6. Carry a Minipod

Even in the smartphone era, the fundamental
principles of photo technique apply. And
photographers have always recognized that
taking the sharpest possible picture involves
using a tripod. Several small, inexpensive and
easy to use options exist that are made
specifically for smartphones.
