For me, the phone experience will always come first before camera quality since even mid-range phones produce respectable pictures these days.
I will not purchase a 6.7"+ phone with huge camera bump that can’t sit flat on table. Last week I tried my friend’s Xiaomi 13 Ultra and that camera bump was eating into my hand…
Like it as not, however, camera quality is a huge selling point for a lot of people in the market for a new phone, and it’s one of the few “measurable gains” that can still be shown off with each upgrade cycle now that most other smartphone features have capped out or gotten a lot more incremental.
