I certainly feel smartphone cameras are not worth the premium prices people is paying. In fact I am amused because so much smartphone marketing is focused on camera quality. You would think they are selling a professional camera to you instead of a smartphone.

This gets a bit ridiculous because most people does not need a pro camera and could not take advantage of one if they had it. What so many consumers are doing is purchasing a phone because of the camera marketing and then using that camera to take bad pictures of their cupcake and uploading them to social media.

Dunno, if somebody is going to do that he may as well get the cheaper Motorola, because a bad picture of your cupcake is as useful as a good picture of your cupcake.
