Faces no longer look like blurry oil paintings, environments aren't an over sharpened mess, background text is actually legible again. All of the shitty processing the S7 introduced is gone.
It still needs the megapickles to compete with the S6 in daytime landscape, but this thing is usable again. I still prefer the S6/iphone approach to night shots, though. They may have a little less detail and slightly more noise, but they're infinitely more color accurate and the scene actually looks like what I remember it looking like. I don't need to have my nightlife captured from the perspective of a fucking cat. This stupid aperture, large+low pixel count bs almost put HTC out of business.
Now if snapchat plays nice with this phone's screen ratio I might buy it.
