Laws of physics cannot be changed. A dedicated camera with DX or FX sensor will always produce better images than any phone in terms of dynamic range, ISO sensitivity, optics. Lets not forget that the bokeh the phones produce is digital (in other word, fake). I admit, however, that phones nowadays produce good enough pictures. My rant was about the needless number of megapixels which only matters if you print the pictures out. If you don’t (which is true for most of the people), then the pictures will just eat out more space of the already expensive memory.
Is the phone perfect for trafel photography? No, it’s barely good enough. Then again, the best camera is the one you have on you.
P.S. I belong to the camp of people who would rather carry a dedicated camera. Even the ones with 1” sensor are better than a phone. Personally, I’m contemplating a Nikon DX Z30 or 50. More inclined towards the 30 because it’s physically smaller.
