If you want to have very decent photos, you definitely need an external camera, be it a compact, a bridge or a DSRL. All phone cameras are always going to be mediocre; I have learnt this since I was stolen my N8. Therefore I don't care anymore, I will use whatever phone's camera for the easy, everyday photos, and forget about it whenever I require better results.
What I'm wanting now is a slightly bigger phone (maybe not as big as the Moto G, though), and slightly better performing than my current Xperia Ray. I've grown really tired of it, and even though it doesn't have much to complain about, it doesn't have much to praise either. It's just mediocre.
Regarding this: photo comparison between the 2 best phone cameras in the market right now (or so they say), Nokia Lumia 1020 and SOny Xperia Z1:

Pretty impressive but still not enough to make me change my mind.
