Is the Sony Xperia 1 V the Ultimate Phone for Creators?

Sony's Xperia range of phones has been knocking on the door of entry-level cameras for some time. Their latest offering might just be the best yet, but is it enough for creators to use as their primary all-purpose camera? I recently saw a stand-up make a joke that I'm going to summarize: calling an iPhone a "phone" is like calling a convertible Lexus a cup holder. It might be a joke, but it's right on the money. It has been some time since a mobile phone has been just a phone, but now, it feels as if the phone part is almost irrelevant.
