I remember the old Nokias that made 320×240 pixel photos. Phones since are made thinner, which would afaik result in more problematic focus points for lenses. Yet quality has improved significantly.
How is this possible? And is there a technical limit of how detailed digital photos can get? As opposed to traditional lenses, where the size of the lens can be as big as you want to make it.
Tagged as technology, but I guess this question borders physics.

Nowadays the top models essential have multiple cameras per phone. So one camera dedicated to say zoom will have a higher power lens which can be combined with a smaller sensor since the user probably doesn’t care about FOV too much when zooming in on something.
Other big advancements are with software allowing it to remove blur caused by hands shaking and iso noise (noise from amplifying the signal when it is dark) on the fly
