If you've heard anything about Motorola's new Moto Z Droid flagship, you've probably heard about its camera bump.

The design blows a big raspberry at every techie who's ever demanded flat, boring gadgets. And more importantly, the big f/1.8-aperture, 13-megapixel cyclops eye implies a level of care and attention to optics that should have produced a great - or at least pretty good - camera.

But, if you check out how it performed next to a Samsung Galaxy S7, still the high-water mark for smartphone photography, you'll see why it was such a disappointment.
