Sounds like marketing hype to me. I'm sure Sharp's camera division won't be too impressed.
The current crop of phone cameras don't take good photos, period. The reason for this is because the lens is tiny. For a phone to take a good photo, the lens needs to have a large aperture, and have a reasonable level of optical zoom on it. These are _physical_ limitations that no amount of microelectronic trickery can get around, so any phones having them will need to be too big to be useful.
