This has to be the most unpopular opinion ever considering how much is invested into phone's cameras, but holy shit do I hate phone's cameras. To me it is such a monumental waste of resources; the average user cannot tell the difference, every phone ever now has a huge camera bump, and social media just compresses everything to shit anyway so there is no way to even tell how good a photo actually is. Before smart phones were a thing, no one except actual, dedicated photographers had anything better than maybe a shitty disposable camera on them. Now every phone ever, and especially the high end flagships, seem to make the camera the end all be all of features. I would pay extra to have a camera from four years ago and have my phone not have a bump... Because 99% of people couldn't tell the difference anyway.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. There are cookies by the exit and please be sure to sign my change.org petition before you leave as well.

Now reviews just talk about the camera and then 20% of other important features while saying that it's worth the 200% of a reasonable price tag.
