In any phone or pocket camera the electronics do the difficult stuff. You'd be good (or lucky) if half the 36 exposures on a 35mm cassette were worth even printing. With focus pin sharp and the aperture/exposure compromises sorted by algorithms it's now difficult to take a bad picture until you hit the limitations of zoom etc.
We bought a pocket Canon at Manchester Airport's Dixon's en route to Texas 30 months ago. Took good snaps of us, places and (eg) planes in museums. Any stuff with zoom, like trying to grab pictures of the ubiquitous Grackles scavenging round outdoor eateries, showed it's limitations. Better than our current Samsung phones but quite a few 'fails'.
I'd like to find something slightly better for pocket use and augment it with a DSLR for more esoteric stuff.
