I don't care, there are more important things to a phone than camera quality.

Yea, I could see maybe people into photography liking it perhaps... but also I would think people into photography would prefer using an actual camera for that stuff.

If it simply turns out to be a replacement for digital zoom and works out well, robust and clear, I'm down... but if it's something special/fancy; Nah.

I'm into photography but not enough to actually carry a dedicated, bigger and cumbersome camera on me, especially when going hiking. So any advancement on phone camera optical zooms is exciting for me ! Already have a x2 optical zoom lens on my phone and it's not enough, wide angles don't work on landscape photography

You should investigate wide angle landscape photography, my dude, because it definitely ‘works’ and could bring a whole heap of new photography opportunities to you if you take the time to work on the composition.

Plus it’ll let you use the camera you’ve got with you a little more.

Sure I'm definitely not more than a beginner, I need to look into it! I'm already glad to have a wide angle whenever I'm in some space like a forest, perfect for that

Processor, screen resolution/ refresh rate, battery life, storage size...

A camera is a necessary feature sure, but anything above ~20MP is unnecessary for the overwhelming majority of people.

It's pretty much top3 for most people after smartphones. Top1 for some.

People see it as a selling point because it's what's been marketed to them, the vast majority of smartphone users will never need a phone camera with more than a 20 megapixel sensor.

Screen resolution, screen refresh rate, battery size, processor, and storage are important.

People see them as a selling point because a) no one wants to carry a DSLR on them at all times; and b) social media makes people want to take pictures 24/7

I, for one, know nothing of photography, don't have any pictures on social media, and still take all pictures at max size for the simple reason that I want to be able to zoom on my pc (with a vastly bigger resolution than a phone) without pixelation. I'd never spend iPhone moneys on a mobile phone, but I still try to get a good camera for my budget.

I'd argue refresh rate is meaningless for most users, though. I hardly notice the difference between my high refresh screen and my wife's standard 60.
