I've owned 4 different smartphones in three years (none were iPhones). I like having a camera/video recorder/internet/kitchen sink on my phone.
You can argue all day regarding the quality of sensors(etc), I simply don't care as it is good enough for what I use it for. There is a market for these types of phones, whether you fall into that market doesn't change that. We have different requirements, as long as we both get what we want everyone is happy.
