Really depends on the environment. Low light and nighttime are much worse than you might think, anything else isn't so bad.
(Try taking a photo of the moon with an iPhone. You can't do it, not even with Halide.)
The lenses are also different and direct lighting can cause annoying internal reflections. I don't know this area as well, but lenses are more important than sensors for photos.
(taken with BayerCam.app, not Halide, but Halide can capture the same raw Bayer data)
It's not an amazing photo by any means. But it is a photograph of the moon - the seas are all well delineated, Copernicus/Kepler/Aristarchus/Grimaldi are visible/recognizable.
A test that smartphones did not pass a few years ago.
