It's not a bad shot, but shows up the slightly scratchy nature of the image processing
Thanks to 13MP resolution you can get some nice macro-style details
Tricky lighting leads to a dull picture, while the background trees appear a little low on contrast
This photo could have been brightened-up a bit, but the colours are nice and vivid
This looks washed-over and dreamy, showing up limited lens quality and questionable exposure
This shot would look a lot better a bit brighter and with increased contrast
There's a good amount of detail on this bulb, showing what the camera can do with enough lighting
Purple fringing, an overexposed sky and processed-looking grass
The colour tone is warm, but this shows how HDR can help exposure in bright-but clouded shots
A very clear example of the sort of light bleed effect the One M8s is quite prone to
More dynamic range enhancement in the shadow areas would have enriched this photo
The camera processing has eliminated some of the detail we'd get with a more capable phone
