It all lies on versatility. No lens can do it all and look great. The lens in the phones are great in their own intended function. Ultrawide, telephoto, and the normal 24mm lens. This is also to keep the phone thin and compact. I use an old HTC U11 camera and as powerful and raw that single camera may be, it won’t be as good as a multiple camera system would like my Mi 9 has when it comes to portraits and ultrawide angle.

If you put an aps-c or m43 sensor, it’ll get bulkier and won’t be as convenient as a phone anymore. See yongnuo and zeiss android cameras. Samsung tried multiple apertures before and it did not make a difference as the sensor is too small.
