Have we reached the limit of hardware? Why can't smartphone cameras still achieve that 3D camera look?

I was playing around with my RX100 on the weekend, for those that don't know, it's a camera with a 1" sensor released in 2012. And I came to a realization. It clipped light, was blurry at lot and overall was nowhere near as easy to use as my Pixel 4a, but it managed to do something Pixel 4a cannot. And that is to make images look like they came out of a dedicated camera. Every photo, even blurry ones, came out with that "look". Images look 3D.

What are the coolest things you can do with a new, powerful android phone?

What are cool things a new smartphone can do that aren't immediately obvious? Either through some app or embedded in the OS.

For example, I downloaded SkyView and can track celestial objects in real time by pointing my camera to the sky. I will then use Astrophotography mode to try and capture them.
