I take too many photos and have stopped bringing my 14 year old mirrorless camera in trips a long time ago. So its a camera for me first and foremost.
Then a phone, communications and content consumption device second. This secondary part...i think is even between most mid to flagship phones. Just a matter of preference and familiarity. Photography has to be where it must stand out.

Do you notice the difference in image quality? For most shots I don’t notice the difference between my Note 10 and iPhone 12.

The last big jump I noticed was when I went from S8 to Note 10. Super layo ng quality of photos in low light because of Night Mode. But after that big Night Mode revolution, so far the improvements have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

I checked reviews of the S21 Ultra vs 12 Pro Max and the shots are pretty much down to preference rather than a distinct win for one or the other. Exception is the superior telephoto of the S21U, although in my experience I haven’t needed telephoto as much as I needed a good wide and ultrawide.

A simple edit in Photoshop Express will get the photos of one phone to look like the other, since they’re about 90% similar to begin with.

My general observation is that if you buy the flagship of either OS/brand, you will get the best phone photography available at the time. The bigger differentiator for good shots really boils down to the photographer.
