Why are 12-13 MP cameras on flagship smartphones better than the 48-64 MP cameras on mid range and budget smartphones?

Basically every midrange or budget smartphone has atleast a 48 MP camera, while most of the flagships have about 13 MP camera. Then why are photos from the flagships better? Is it because of image processing or quality of lens or something else? And which specifications to look out for when buying a low cost phone?

It’s largely image processing.

Google’s pixel line has used the same camera sensor in it for the main camera since the Pixel 1.

With very good processing algorithms, you can get very good photos.

But these algorithms are very processor intensive, so it’s difficult for lower end devices to process photos using the same techniques, unless you want to wait a few seconds or more before being able to view the photo.
