One of the big benefits of a smartphone versus a "traditional" camera is all the smart stuff Apple, Google and others manage to do in software to enhance the images coming out of that tiny sensor and lens combo. Canon, not wanting to be left behind, released its own deep learning technology white paper earlier this year (in Japanese) showing how they can use it to make subtle, but important improvements to all photos. The examples of noise reduction without loss of detail, reducing moire and correcting problems with lenses to improve resolution look impressive. No word if they're gonna add them to a Canon camera any time soon however.
