As indicated in the text of the linked article, phone cameras are the most used cameras in the world. Doesn't it follow that they are among, if not the, most important cameras in the world?

iPhone 5S, Sony Xperia Z1, Nokia Lumia 1020 & Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom compared. Most have their strengths: perhaps most obvious, the optical zoom in the Samsung & the 41 megapixel sensor in the Nokia. With 41 megapixels, a 2 x digital zoom still leaves a 10 megapixel image.

As indicated in the text & just watching the video, it's obvious that the author is a talented photographer who knows a lot more about cameras & photography than anyone else I've seen or read reviewing phone cameras.

Definitely worth a look:
