Another point where the Xenon flash rocks is to take picture of things in motion (like kids). The Xenon flash duration is a lot shorter than with LED, so that the scene is frozen on the pictures, and not blurry like with LED.
I was once surprised while looking at a picture of a circular saw running at full speed, that on the picture the blade looked still. It may not be the effect you have wanted, but it allows to froze a picture to that point.

Despite loving it on my N8, I am not sure it is worth the trouble to add it to this phone.

Some other thinks that could help with phone cameras quality in low light are, among others : sensor size, optics quality, and technologies like OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).
OIS would not help when taking pictures of things in motion, but would help when taking pictures in low light with long exposures. It would also help with videos. Not sure how the cost of such techno is, and the difficulty to embed one, but it exists...
