I wouldn't exactly label myself a purist, but I won't lie, I am extremely partial to using a DSLR for taking quality photos as opposed to a cell phone. However, after tonight, I must begrudgingly admit that, though not the photo I could have captured with a DSLR, my phone did surprisingly well.
This photo, juxtaposing the sunset and thunderstorms in Houston tonight, was taken on my very own Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. No tripod, no timer, no nothing. Just my hands shakily holding up my phone as I tapped on the screen. The framing of the photo could be a little wider, and the noise (grain) in the photo is caused by the phone using a high ISO setting to compensate for a much needed faster shutter speed in the low light (no tripod and shaky hands means no possibility of longer exposure times).
All in all, not a bad little camera. It still can't do what a DSLR can do, but then again, I can't put a DSLR in my back pocket...so, we'll call it a draw for now.
