Phone recorded videos are always over sharpened.
(sometimes your monitor or TV adds even more sharpening during a signal processing pass)

Tasteful sharpening is actually very hard and it`s a must for digital cameras. (what looks good in an Imax cinema is not going be the perfect amount and even method for smaller screens and even those just have too much variety, so they usually go with some interesting compromises)

Plus what everyone else is saying about up close faces, size, distance, magnification and focus.
