Changes in direction like this, going from consistently outstanding design and execution to weird choices and mediocre quality, make me wonder if leadership of the project was given to someone who had no idea what they were doing.
Or to someone who wanted to sabotage it.
What a pity.
I know they were deliberately being hamstrung by the higher ups in terms of their cameras - they didn't want their phones to have as good cameras as possible because they thought it would harm their dedicated camera sales. This basically destroyed their phone division to the point where it became irrelevant, as no matter how good the rest of the phone might be, the cameras were took dogshit pictures unless you used a tripod and spent 5 minutes changing settings for every single shot.
