Android Lollipop's new camera APIs are fucking incredible. After a single software update my Nexus 5 is doing insane shit no other smartphone camera can normally do, for instance:
burst capture at full resolution at up to 30fps
raw (dng) image capture
full manual focus
faster autofocus (like 10x the speed of the old API)
full resolution video
request target framerates
access to raw sensor data
exposure bracketing
focus stacking
hdr video
up to 4K 30fps video capture (65Mb/s!!!)
here's a real world example (click the images for full resolution)

this means all android phones will have hella better image quality at the cost of NOTHING. this is important.
