Speaking emotionally, my heart sinks when I see a great shot in front of me and all I've got is a smartphone, be it a 20mp Lumia 950 or Samsung S7 (both widely rated as having good cameras).

Speaking as a senior graphic designer, I have yet to use a photo taken from a phone in a commercial setting, and would not get sign-off on an image if it were taken from a phone.

Most phones will do all sorts of cheap tricks to make the photos appear better, these become far too obvious when viewing the images on calibrated 2k+ monitors.
