Opinion: Android phones' cameras have a bokeh problem.
I've noticed that even on the biggest, baddest Androids (S20U) their cameras just aren't up to muster. Not only do they have very little background separation (maybe with portrait mode) but their bokeh quality is poor. The circles have defined rings in them, and this makes backgrounds look busy.

Microsoft's Billion Dollar Android Blunder
Twelve Years ago, Microsoft made a billion dollar blunder. I was reading about it this morning, and was surprised to find that there's not much documentation online.
So I thought I'd tell the tale, in case anyone's curious.
In 2007, [Apple released the iPhone.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone) But it was not the first smartphone.
Prior to the iPhone, most agreed that ONE company was at the head of the pack:
