Best phone for street photography?

No.2941162 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I have a Nokia 808 Pureview, but i'm not satisfied. Its probably still the sharpest camera-phone, but dynamic range is shit. That's the biggest flaw of the 808, but it's also slow, metering is imprecise and it cant force fast shutter speeds automatically (sports mode is useless, i have to bump up the ISO manually).

Please help me find the best phone for street photography.

mandatory requirements:
-dedicated shutter button, or a way to trigger the shutter through a headphone jack
-some kind of hyperfocal mode, prefocus, or a fast auto focus paired with a sensor so small everything is in focus anyway
-some kind of shutter priority, it doesn't have to be exact, decent sports mode would suffice
-decent dynamic range
-28mm or wider lens, but i guess all phones have simmilar lenses


these things are appreciated, but not obligatory:
-1+ FPS
-ability to shoot RAW files
-decent metering
-good high iso capability for small sensor standards
-a way to turn off the screen while using the camera


things i don't care about at all:
-any usage other then taking photos
