The feature works the same way as you would expect - switch to the front camera, activate the slow-motion mode and done. According to SamMobile, there is no customization options part of the mix like adjusting frames as per user requirement. The iPhone captures Slofies at 120 frames per second and it too does not allow for any variations.

Our favorite phone maker has added a slow motion mode to the front camera with One UI 2.0 and Android 10. Like the slow motion mode for the rear camera, you don’t get any customization options for slow motion videos with the front camera. You just hit the record button and go crazy, although you can edit recorded slow motion videos and reduce their playback speed to make everything even slower.

In addition, the slow-motion selfies for the Galaxy S10 need some work and you will adhere to jitters every now and then. In Samsung's defense, the feature is still in its beta phase and the final outcome might be different or more polished.
