Reply to comment by luke1lea in LG Innotek is ready to put true optical zoom lenses in the next wave of flagship phones by thebelsnickle1991

Not in every situation at all. Landscape photography for example requires much more optical zoom than the wide angles that are on cameras. Buying a phone with x2 optical zoom was already a big boost to my photography during hikes and it still is FAR from enough to take the pictures you'd want to take with a real DLSR, going up to x30 and the like for satisfying pictures.

And this is exactly what they're going hard on, thank fuck. Wide and ultra wide don't need any more progress. I still don't want to go on hikes with a big camera, it's too cumbersome

I don't even know where my DSLR is any more, I stopped using it nearly 5 years ago when I got a Huawei P20 Pro and tried them side by side on a camping trip. Now it's finally dying and I don't know what to replace it with. In the last 2 years I've tried 3 top flagship phones ranked best for photography and they were all goddamn awful compared to the P20 Pro.

I'd be up for carrying a lightweight camera if they were linked so photos transferred onto the phone automatically - is that a thing yet?

Yes thats a thing, seriously look at /r/m43 its an incredible system, especially for travel/backpacking/hiking and when weight and size is a concern.

After I do a shoot in the mountains, i connect to my phone via bluetooth, put a handful across i like there and then, edit them quickly on the phone and upload and save them to a specific google photo album.

The rest i import to laptop later for another look.

I think we mostly need better sensors and optics. For landscape photography when you zoom in a bit you can see all the artificial processing and the lack of detail.
I do agree camera lenses are wider than they should be, like the main lens is more wide than I'd like, and then there's an ultra wide which is even wider.
