Agree with the comments above, with one caveat: it all depends on what you want. Better smartphone cameras are amazing, given the limitations of the form factor of the phone. The camera features such as pano shots are quite neat, too, as is geotagging.

That said, you don't have the easy flexibility of the better PS cameras, such as manual or aperture priority etc. Sensor size can be an issues, but less than most people think, IMHO.

Regarding pixel count, it's overplayed. One of the best shots I ever took was my daughter's HS senior photo, with a 3 MP sensor, about 12 years ago. 8x10 is georgeous. 11x14 shows only a trace of pixelization. YMMV.
