Yes, but there is another aspect to this!
By using the phone adapter (like the one in the pic below), I focused the scope according to what the CAMERA saw, not focused to my eyes. I have noticed a difference in the focus clarity between what works for my eyes vs the smartphone. Only by using an adapter can you spend the time to focus as needed. So yes, the quality of the scope is one part. Being able to focus
to the phone is the other.
