Generally, cheap ($30) phone's camera is awful. $200 Android phone's camera is good. iPhone 6's camera is excellent. (Though I am using iPhone 6 Plus, I still think iPhone 6 Plus is too expensive.)

Given the Sony makes $20 per iPhone 6 sold for providing the cameras to Apple, I would hope that they'd be better quality than the $30 phone!
