I have a good idea, that this means something like "brag about" or "make a big deal about", but could someone out there shed some more light about this? Here's the context, which is a mobile camera review (evaluation):
Durante el día ya es otra cosa, con luz natural la cámara se comporta bien, no es para tirar cohetes, pero los resultados nos gustan en la pantalla del móvil, y no te llevas muchas sorpresas tampoco al abrirlas en pantallas más grandes.
