A phone is often scored by its camera. But have we lost the plot? Depending on which side of the bed you get out of, you will either say that the Samsung Galaxy S6 or LG G4 currently holds the mantle for the best camera on a phone. Of course, you might be the sort of person that is hiding under the bed with a Nokia Lumia 1020.

In a few months time, there will be even more claims from manufacturers that their new phone has an even better camera. But why are we bothering to care anymore. Nearly every phone available nowadays comes with a camera that is simply, good enough. Take the new Motorola Moto G 2015, this has the camera from the Nexus 6, minus optical image stabilisation.

I think its time to prioritise what we need in a phone. So I would want a 6″ 1080p screen, Snapdragon 820, 5,000mAh battery, Qi charging, Quick Charging 2, FM Radio, Dual sims, 64gb storage plus micro SD slot, 16mp camera with OIS, 5mp on front, fingerprint scanner, USB C, APT-X, decent sounds, and made of grippy plastics. Front screen to be made of Gorilla Glass 4. With these specs what more is needed.

And with that camera scenario, just buy a small decent point and shoot, that can be always in a pocket. The photo shown above is from the Sony RX100 III. No need to worry now about how good the camera is on a phone!
