Just once have a phone with decent onboard memory AND a SD card accessible without taking the cover off. So I can back up my memory card
Of course the problem is every phone is restricted to microSD but that can be solved by using one an adapter in camera.
Alternatively allow for USB host/ Wifi Host on the phone, the latter which is happening more which is good to see, it does mean you need to bring along a cable or have the likes of a Wifi capable camera with you.
Xenon flash- LED flashes plain suck. I understand the reasoning of having an LED flash- no capacitor required, smaller size, cheaper, compatible as a video light.
But I feel Camera phones more than any camera device benefit from having a good flash. Reason is the puny sensors will always have poor high ISO performance especially as it is more prone to hand shake due to how you hold a phone. Additionally the very nature of a phone is you take it out to social situations with you more- eg afterwork drinks/birthdays/nightouts/events. All of which comonly occur at night and indoors. Also you get plenty of the one hand, arm length self shot which are especially prone to shake at low light levels
(reflective backs on phones were cool for this allowing to compose your self shot much better than those tiny parabolic mirrors you used to get on some phones - also good for the ladies makeup duties
)
More Macro/Landscape features please! - reason that tiny sensor has one benefit, Huge depth of field!
