Smartphones still take better photos but they compensate for the optics with software. If you stick that large of a lens into a smartphone, the battery would be too small. Not ti mention the extra moving parts required for retractable lens.

The Nokia 1020 would like to have a word

I don't have a problem with phones having simple optics. What I think I'd like to reject is the notion that the one device is your cell phone, media player, web browser, camera, flashlight, fleshlight flishlight, floshlight and flushlight, all in one quarter inch thick slab of mostly touch screen.

Let me go back to having a 4 inch smart phone that can do some of that stuff, like I didn't mind my Galaxy S4 Mini's camera, it worked fine. If I'm going to be serious about photography I want a device that is mostly a camera with a good sensor and decent optics. If I'm gonna have a flashlight I want it to fit in my hand and have a properly bright LED with decent optics, if I'm gonna have a fleshlight I want a proper aperture with interesting texturing on the inside and decent optics. My S10e is the worst floshlight I've ever had. I might as well use my foot.
