This 16 year old phone beat my $1,000 flagship camera

My Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro take amazing pictures (and perhaps it's not always best to buy the latest flagship). But they're almost too good. The photos they take are heavily processed to ensure impeccable clarity, the colors are boosted to extreme levels, and there's even simulated background blur if you use portrait mode. I'm tired of perfection. So I dug out a very old phone with a terrible camera — my old Palm Pixi — and took some photos. And you know what? I'm in love with the photos it takes, in all their 2MP glory. The photos have a level of emotion and nostalgia that you just don't get on modern flagships.
