this won't fit into a pocket though.

maybe you can reasonably throw into a handbag. but it quickly became a logistical nightmare, with how you're essentially stuck with cheap/kit lens (to make it small enough) and humidity is also a deal breaker.

also, would you want to abuse a not-cheap APS-C camera that way? I wouldn't lol

All of that, plus the benefits of having a good pocket camera to carry around - spontaneous photography is my thing and having a good camera phone solves that equation nicely.

And before anyone says "get a real camera", I have real cameras and there's no way they can be carried in my pocket the same way a smartphone does lol. That and the smaller they get, the further image quality worsens to the point where you might just use a (good camera) phone instead.

I grew up with dumb phones, and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to using them - they suck!

RAM helps with multitasking, storage lets you store more stuff (I treat my phone basically as a PC-lite), and good SoC is needed for computational photography. So yeah

Very late answer, but from what I can look up so far it's specifically the 5 II to 5 IV that suffers from this issue...blame Samsung really, even their own phones from this era also have the same saber problem.

The original 5 and 5 V doesn't suffer from this though, my 5 definitely hasn't seen this yet fwiw.
