As a hobbiest photographer, this measurebating/pixel peeping is very reminiscent of the MP wars in Digital Cameras and dSLRs.
Photos from mobile phones will be most often viewed on a service (FB, Instagram, Whatsapp) which will almost always do some sort of resizing and recompression which would render that +/- 5 spread between all the top cell phones meaningless.
