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.

Phone cameras haven’t really improved and a decent camera with optical zoom will almost always deliver a better picture than even the best phone camera. Especially in low light.
It’s “putting lipstick on a pig”. There’s really not a ton they can do. But if they don’t come up with slight changes, people will realize the new phone isn’t much better than the old one.
The Nokia 3310 was released a quarter century ago. That’s plenty of time to get thing smaller, better, and more efficient. But again, there’s not much more they can do with phone camera’s physical limitations. On the digital side, there’s always room for improvement.
