Yeah but my point is... this is 11 years old tech... more modern smartphone perform noticeably worse than this one, which was seriously photography-oriented.
Regarding your "burst" item in the bullet list, my latest smartphone can take 20 pictures in the space of 1-2 seconds, at an impressive speed.
All pictures after the first are smaller in filesize, but I think a heavier NR is also applied, because they are less noisy (at the expense of detail of course), so they compress better.
