The image quality of the phone is good
Increasingly, the demand for digital cameras is being pushed back by smartphones in the UK, with people taking pictures of the latter, contenting themselves with lower quality videos. 
In the island nation, digital camera sales have shrunk by 29 per cent in the last five years, from £ 2011 million in 598 to £ 2006 million in 843, according to The Daily Telegraph. According to a survey by Mintel, 8 per cent of UK adults - 3 million people - don’t think it’s likely that if their digital camera breaks down, they’ll buy a new one instead, relying more on their mobile phone to make videos.
