The front camera offers both 24mp and 6mp options. I suppose both are jpeg as I don't see the raw+jpeg option like in the main back camera. 6mp option supports HDR modes and effects. As the word suggests, "raw" is only possible in the 24mp format, as this is the designed resolution of the lens, "as it is" output. I guess the 6mp photo uses the binning technology. I guess as the reduced mpx count doesn't necessarily mean binning technology is applied. Anyway results are some of the better I have seen from the selfie cam. Especially I like the 24mp photo, in the same way I prefer 48mp photo from the main back camera, as I am the fan of "natural" photography. I like to see details on the skin as those give character and personality. And this camera gives plenty for a phone camera.
