Of course it is and this is better than most compact digital cameras.

Most people use their phones for taking pics now. The end of dedicated compact cameras is nigh.

I will always still have a decent SLR (I'm a Nikon man myself) but for snaps I use my phone all the time. This is merely a way of replicating decent zoom.

This phone is awesome.

anything greater than 15-20mp is a waste unless you're building wallsize photos.  Putting even large in a phone with no real long or wide lense is just stupidity inmo.  Seriously....41mp with that lense?  It's a joke camera for people who look at base stats and get all horny.  A 41mp base

yes, up to 90"x 90" which is the size of a wall.  LOADS of use for that size photo besides the fact you'd need to take it to a printing house to get it printed.  God only knows what the cost would be but I bet more than $100 per photo...

Couple that with a lense that is about 5cm deep and you have yourself some real good quality pfffft.
