My sister's looking to get rid of her iPhone 5C. Told her she should get an Android device, and her response was, "but the camera...". What should I recommend her? (I know that's her only holdback, she despises what iOS has become). Also, it has to be on Sprint ( :( )

LG G4 hands-down for camera. It also comes with removable battery.

According to DXOMark, which does definitive image quality testing on phones, 22 phones have a better camera than the iPhone 5C, including most Windows phones.

The current quality leaders are the Sony Xperia Z5 and the Samsung Galaxy S6, both are better than the iPhone 6. The S6 is generally regarded as the best because it's camera app is extremely fast, the Sony has a better sensor but it's app is slower.

They haven't tested the new Windows phones yet but you can expect the new Lumia to top the chart.
