Firstly, which phone is it?
Secondly, those are very nice shots but it's quite a statement to claim that the camera is better than a DSLR (or MILC).
For a start most cameras perform well in good light, but optically can't compete when the light gets dim, especially for moving objects.

With due respect to our friend, Markyboy81,

Sir, firstly, I am sorry, if I have hurt any of your sentiments.

1. This mobile is Samsung (Android) Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

I am a user of Sony 7RM2, RX10 M2, A6000, etc. and compared many shots with this mobile (less than 6 inch, 170 grams)! It is a reality that we have to really study the way in which the Mobile Camera technology is catching up. If you don't get offended, I will include few more shots with comments (to understanding the trend change, which I am sure you will appreciate) - kindly inform your friends also about these developments.

Roughly 6 feet under a 11 Watts fluorescent light.

12 to 15 feet away from 18 watts florescent lamp.

Cloudy day light - Macro - you can see the Ant!

You are a very senior member and I respect you. I need to learn a lot from you. As a design Engineer in Electronics (which was my profession 22 years back), I enjoy trying new trend.

I am very new to this forum and I request you to kindly excuse me for any mistake and also guide me.

Once again thank you for your comments and valuable time.

No offence taken whatsoever, Namboodiri. As I said before, I like these pictures very much and I too am amazed by how the technology has moved forwards in terms of mobile phone photography. I have also owned the Note 5, which uses the same camera as the Edge plus so I know what a fantastic camera it is.

However, I will still stand by what I wrote about it not being able to compete with larger sensor cameras in low light, especially when shooting moving objects. I notice that you didn't include any such photos in your examples. This is mainly down to the tiny sensor used. If you only take photos in good light and/or still objects then the Edge Plus will produce excellent results.

Yes, Thanks.

I fully agree with you regarding low light and shake in moving objects.

Edge Plus has a 1/2.6" sensor size with 1.12 µm pixel size. Shortly we will be seeing Mobile sized Camera.

I have kept few more photos
