Its arguable that phone optics will never be as good as the real thing.

Yes you can record in 4k with a phone, but I doubt we will have a practical 35mm+ sensor in a cell phone along with very good optics(lenses) any time soon because then your phone would easily way 2 pounds at least.

Resolution is not the end-all-be-all of quality/clarity. The size of the imaging sensor and quality of the lens matter just as much, if not more.
