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?

Every sensor is a compromise. More pixels increase resolution but often at the cost of quality, particularly in low light. Fewer, larger pixels improve quality but reduce resolution and your ability to crop an image. You choose the sensor that suits what you shoot.
