> high-quality camera phone

Citation may be needed. Phone cameras today are still pretty crap compared to DSLR/mirrorless cameras due to physical limitations. Particularly in challenging scenarios like night. Except now, instead of getting a totally grainy mess, you get a moderately grainy mess crippled with excessive sharpness, local contrast, and whatever other algorithmic hallucinations the phone manufacturer dreamed up. Bad photos will always be bad photos, I reckon.

The best camera is the one you have on you which makes for far more 'good' photos nowadays compared to back in the day when only those with Minoxes and such got to carry their camera around at will.
