This camera is no holly grail but even a Red camera can shoot crap video if the user doesn't know how to use it. My statement still holds true, that if you're judging and dismissing the camera quality and capability from her at home, vertical, twitter recompressed video (which is what i have been commenting about) then you should stay with your old phone because you'll get no benefit from the upgrade.
It's the lighting. Looks like the software over-processed the images to compensate. No smartphone will ever produce high-quality low-light images. The sensors are too small. I also suspect she didn't use the stock camera app to take these photos.
Hopefully the lucky lady has a defective camera.. no comparison to the MLB photos (filters / instagram I know - but still) - http://www.si.com/mlb/photos/2015/09/21/iphone-6s-plus-sneak-preview-photos-si/8
I remember the camera I had on a phone, it was add on as the Nokia model didn't have one built in and was a whopping 0.3MP
Smart girl!! Not many people would do that, a real present to everyone, I have been waiting patiently for the geekbench mark results
Those were taken outdoors. Indoors is the problem
That single-core score... It already smokes the upcoming Exynos M1 in that regard. Also holy balls that multi-core score. WITH JUST 2 CORES. 2!!!
I'm officially scared of the A9X now.

You did read... THE LIGHTING... ! Indoor photos with no flash are mostly not so good on all Smart Phones (ALL OF THEM), and that's coming from someone who takes a lot of pictures with decent cameras. Sensors are microscopic on all those phones and there is basically nothing that can be done to make things better.
Assuming the A9X will scale linearly with cores and we'll see a bump in single thread performance (possibly from a bump in frequency) we are legitimately looking at modern i3 desktop performance.
Hmm.
I spotted this article on the iphone 6 camera. Ignoring the subject of the article, and just looking at this image, I can find fault with its level of detail. The exif says it's ISO 64, so maybe, just maybe, the iphone, even at its best, can't overcome the limitations of a tiny sensor, and the 6s isn't dramatically better, especially using ISO 800.

I guess that the increase in resolution (8mp -> 12 mp) while keeping the same sensor size did not increase the low light performance...well, that was to be expected...but to me it seems it did not even keep up with that of the iPhone 6...which could also be expected, but is still sad...as a general rule of thumb: smaller pixels=lower quality pictures in low light (if the sensor is from the same generation, but it seems that the technical improvements did not compensate the shrink form 1.5 to 1.22 µm)
Anyway, as no reasonable person would expect a mobile phone camera to replace even a premium compact (at least currently) unless one operates only in optimla conditions (optimal for the phone camera that is) and that it will never reach the versatility of a full frame, aps or mft camera...it still has that one magic sentence going for it: The best camera is always the one that you are carrying with you!
