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?

48 MP is only possible by making the sensors larger, meaning a larger phone, or by shrinking the pixels, which decreases their effectiveness. They are trying to overcome this, but it is still a work in progress.

Its important to remember that a resolution is simply a measure of size, not quality. It has more potential detail, but is not guaranteed.
