Still haven't really had much of a chance to play with my new camera phone.
I have noticed that it seems to quite well with backlighting - doing a decent job of HDR by default. My old phone would have struggled with this lighting.
Annoyingly, the bug iPhones have recording date/time is still there in this phone/iOS. These are the first photos taken. Even the very first photo is wrong. It was taken at 22:06 on 5/11, but the Date modified field is 01:51 on 7/11, when I was in bed asleep! Fricken hate Apple.
I knew later phones/OSes had little video clips attached to photos, so when you play them on the phone you see the second or two before the photo was taken as a little animation. I thought was some internal function on the phone. I didn't realise it actually saves little .mov files for each one! It's kinda cool, but I'm not entirely convinced - it takes at least twice as much space per photo, and it will make sorting/filing photos that much harder...
The face recognition is pretty cool. Haven't tried it to see if anyone else can hack into it with their face.
The lack of a home button is taking some getting used to. It's mostly ok, but sometimes need a couple of swipes to get it.
The size and weight of it is majorly painful. I feel like I'm going to drop it on my face when I'm playing with it in bed. I got a case for it today and with that on the corner of it sticks out of my pocket because it simply doesn't fit. Le sigh. Fricken hate Apple.

Sounds like this new phone is a mixed bag: some good points but quite a few stress points. Hope you can end up being happy with it and not too stressed out by it.

If you use Faststone, go to Tools, Change Timestamp, then Change File Timestamp, New File Timestamp = EXIF Timestamp.
