Phone Cameras Through the Ages

The first camera phone was invented in 1997 and ever since then cameras in phones have gotten more and more popular. Personally I don't like most phone cameras but they are very handy at times. Today we will compare the cameras of several different mobile devices.

Using 5 different devices I took a photo of the same thing. The phones date from 2009-2013. Unfortunately we could not get are hands on some older phones to compare.
