I find this apparent consumer demand confusing in phones. I'm a professional photographer and the camera on my phone may as well not exist it gets used so little.
I honestly know of no-one that views the photos taken on their phones on any other display, so essentially nearly all of the photos taken on phones are consumed on phone displays predominantly via the various social platforms that people choose to share their kids or lunch on with whatever the filter of the day is.
On these handsets, detail, DR, noise, sharpness are pretty much a mute point, editing latitude not relevant and manual controls widely unused.
I totally get if the images are being consumed via another format such as printing, large displays, editing suites etc.
But why is the best, most advanced image quality an absolute must for you if the images don't go anywhere other than your handset and Facebook.
Given that these social sites compress the life out of videos and photos anyway what benefit do the absolute latest and greatest cameras actually have for the consumer other than a headline spec and so extra ££ on the price tag?
Genuinely interested.
