I think you could have taken a better photo with the Canon 650D. Would you agree with that? The shocking difference was not caused by either camera, but the photographer behind the cameras.

Not true. I have tested the phone against the DSLR in a variety of situations and the phone generally comes out on top, although not with such shocking difference.

If this is the case, then one should look at specific examples to find out the cause of the problem. Maybe your lens has a problem (it does look rather unsharp in the sample). Or being out of depth of field (DOF) is being confused with the camera/lens being unsharp.

This particular scene had a huge dynamic range and I've learnt from the comments here that the phone used HDR processing while I did not turn on HDR on my DSLR. So it can be said to be not a very fair test.
