Help me pick my next phone

If the camera is your main concern, you might want to wait a couple of weeks to see what Nokia announces: rumour (aka LOTS of leaks) has it that they're bringing the camera from their PureView to their Windows phones.

The PureView has what is indisputably the best camera on any phone, ever. It uses a bigger light sensor than on any other phone and also has 41MPs (not that this is any way to judge a camera). It also has all sorts of clever stuff to steady images and videos and lots of other camera-related goodies that normally only come on dedicated cameras.

Alternatively, the best camera on an Android is the HTC One which also uses a somewhat bigger sensor than on most other phones (though not up with the PureView). Unfortunately, it is a bit bigger than you want ..

 

Gamaxy S4 mini has an 8mp camera and a dual core.

I know that the Nokia's have great camera specs. But then you have to believe in Windows Phone and Nokia. I was a dedicated Nokia customer for over a decade and my old boss (from Macromedia) is the current CEO of Nokia - I wouldn't touch a Nokia today.

 

Nobody knows what the One Mini's camera will be like, as it's not been released (or even announced) yet. You can't tell from a spec sheet - that will tell you the number of Mpix, but nothing about sensor quality, lens quality or image processing software, all of which matter more for image quality.

What I would say for cameras is look at samples taken with them rather than spec sheets. Look at a range of reviews, and ideally pictures real users have taken. If you look in the device forums here you'll often find threads discussing just this.

 

Galaxy s 4 mini is the best thing for you. It has great camera and small size.
