You kidding right? Maybe your have the art of taking photos with that phone down or something but pictures I take with it always seems to washed out compared to my Moto X(another bad one)
To be honest, to me it looks a bit noisy, washed out colors, and it must not have been taken in bright lighting because you can see some camera shake. There's also a lot of smudging in the carpet and wall textures, which makes me think that either there originally was a lot of noise before post-processing, or the noise removal software on the phone isn't very good.
I'll take that as a compliment. The photo was taken one-handed while standing in the "elevator lobby" of the floor, so it was facing the bright light instead of having the lighting behind the target. The image might be inferior to a DSLR on a tripod, but for simple functionality I think this device is highly suitable. And it fits in most pockets.
