Nubia magic did 8k 15fps without any heat issues.
Newer chipset along with more advanced thermal cooling is enough to do 8k 30fps without producing much heat.

      Zooming in too much on any photo makes the photo look bad.

          Those cameras used by movies and TV channels are huge, have fans inside much stronger than desktop computers.
          While phones have 8,5 mm thick. Glass body and waterproofing.

          Did you know cameras APSC and Micro 4/3 usually have better video skills than Full Frames? More space inside available to get rid of heat.

          8K30 on a phone would be at least 150Mbps. Most cant barely deal with 45 for few minutes.

            Pocket cameras have lenses with quality miles ahead of cellphones.
            None of them have oil painting effect.

            Go to Phone Arena and look at the comparison Note x Pixel 4 x 11 Pro Max. Even using night modes the photos are awful when you see the crop.

            Companies like Sony and Canon still making pocket cameras with 1/2.3" sensors.

              234, 04 Nov 2019and pixel 4Samsung is on par with Apple and Pixel.
              Probably a difference of 2-3pts(depending on scene) between them on a scale of 1 to 100.

              One plus is clearly behind Pixel, Samsung and Apple by margin of 7-8 pts

                      Pointless to make a more expensive sensor just to use HD 960fps.

                      Sony phones also use ir for anti-distortion shutter and predective capture.

Not at night, not at day, not ever. When it comes to recording videos, people struggle to notice the difference between videos taken with 30.000$ camera and the latest iphone. And you think your pocket camera has a chance.
                            When it comes to photos, smartphones take way better photos than compact cameras do. Assuming they are in the same price range, that you are using proper apps in smartphones, that you are using suitable settings, and that you bought smartphone that focuses on camera quality... you will have better photos with smartphones.
                            DSLR with all the extra equipment could beat smartphone in image quality, but smartphone beats it in price and in video quality and in ease of use, mobility, storage and playback.

                            Larger sensor doesn't mean better quality. At best with larger sensor but same pixel size you will have wider angle of camera view. But even that advantage is negated with smartphones using wide angle lenses.
                            With larger pixels, you might have better quality, but that is rather limited. Too large pixels, and image loses sharpness and detail is diminished.

                                  2) Better photos of huawei are because the better hardware, even with worse software than Google and Apple. It has nothing to do with lenses. It is like comparing Micro 4/3 against APSC .... None should be comparing cameras of much different size, almost 2x.

                                  3) no, I mean the pocket cameras have lenses much better than cellphones. Even at f3.5 my pocket camera can outperform pixel 4, s10, 11 pro at night because of better lenses and image chip.

                                  4) if even many of professional lenses cant resolve 40, 50, 70MP.... of course cheaper plastic lenses of cellphones wont. Lenses made by Canon, Nikon and other 80 years ago have better quality than ones from cellphones.

                                  5) Tetracell is just Samsung name , it is copied from Sony Quadbayer tech. At full resolution there is no gain. This 108MP won't give same detail amount of native 108MP, but almost same of a native 27MP if lenses could resolve 100%. The only advantage of this tech is more control over DR.

                                  Non-quadbayer 27MP 1/1.3" would be than quadbayer 108MP 1/1.3".
