"Smartphone Cameras are LOUSY!"
It's not the case now, of course. . 
Smartphone cameras used to suck last time. They used small sensors with really bad pixel density, pair with some simple fixed focal optics. The photo results are usually noisy, underexposed, overexposed, flat colours... etc. You know what I mean.
Smartphone cameras noadays still do have small sensors and simple optics, but they had largely improved in these few years. With new hardwares like BSI sensors, big pixels(HTC Ultrapixel), pair with new features like dual lenses, better optical/digital image stabalizer, faster focus and instantanious HDR/Panorama shoots. And the pseudo-bokeh effect that lets you take picture without actually using an expensive large aperture prime lens(f/0.95-alike bokeh ftw).
Making stunning pictures, Whenever Wherever, you are ready to take it out from your pocket.

Sorry for the long story, but I would like to start a Photo Sharing thread for Smartphone Photography at Digi Community, where people share their jaw-dropping shoots everyday. Be it some breakfast you ate this morning, evening sunset, your amazing car, lengluis lengzhais, or your cat&dog photos.
To kickstart it, here are some of my shoots taken with my Huawei P9.
A quick shot of my Asahi Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens.
Venus Flytrap in a pot.
Sunset
The "pseudo-0.95-ish bokeh", might not as natural as the real bokeh, but it gives an interesting feel to the picture.
So, who's next?
First!!! Let me start of with typical food photo.
Community members are welcome to attach your photos too. Your images will need to be approved, just give some time for us to make the photos public.
Taken with honor 8 Pro. I was trying to play around with the light from the sun in the background.
You made me hungry at this weird hour, digging biscuit for the time being. 
Just a lil bit of tips, when you shoot 16:9 wide aspect ratio photo, shoot it horizontly. I would usually recomand people who shoot food to try out photos in 4:3 and 1:1 aspect ratio , but you're free to explore them, no right or wrong.. 
Since you go for the a top-down shoot position, it is best is to include the complete round bowl, not karate-chop both sides.

Thank you for the advice! Now I know how to take better food photos. I'll try again tomorrow
may be you can move ur camera to the left, shoot from down to up to get the sky as background, without the "white pillar", might be interesting.

it was very much a guess shot. due to the brightness... could not really see what i was shooting. ya, i guess i could always just crop the image instead.
This time a 1:1 image from my Huawei P9 without cutting the bowl.
Software post processing seems to be too strong to bring up the sharpness and colours.
