I'd say the consideration for phone camera is a priority if and only if the camera on the phone is one's primary camera.

Like me, I have a DSLR. I can afford to have an inferior camera sensor on my phone, because if I want to take serious pictures, I'd use the DSLR. The camera sensor on my phone offers the convenience of taking snapshots. I accept that as a compromise for the Nexus. Convenience > quality (must be acceptable also la).

However, if the camera phone is your primary camera, I don't see why you shouldn't pick based on the sensor, if mobile photography is of top priority. Makes total sense for me.

Conclusion, only seriously consider the camera sensor on a phone if it is your primary camera. When you already own a primary, more purpose-built camera, you'll naturally know how to manipulate the variables to take a nice shot on your phone.
