For me the camera was a selling point. I was tired of hauling around a dslr on my trips. I find that the smart processing is good enough 90% of the time and I don't want to both haul the camera and handle the post processing anymore. I'd rather just have 90% quality photos of my family and spend more time with them. Hire a photographer for weddings, etc, but really the smart processing is pretty impressive for day to day and even trips.
I mean this right here: I miss those glorious days in the late 2000s when phones were fun. You could buy a phone that fit your lifestyle. If you text and email a lot, get a phone with a keyboard. Take a lot of photos? Get a camera phone. Like listening to music? Here's a media phone. Like games? Here's a gaming phone. Just want a thing that can make phone calls that will last a month on a charge because you don't use it much? Here's a regular old flip phone.
Nowadays you don't even have a real choice in size. Want a small phone that's easy to fit in a pocket because you usually have a laptop with you anyway? Get bent!
Yeah I won't be buying a new phone until they return to a reasonable size. I have a tablet and laptop for real work.
