Macro with Mobile phone or DSLR?

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy A35 mobile phone.

I am very happy with it and I decided to test out the Macro lens and compare it with
my old Canon EOS 1000d DSLR first using the Kit lens as intended and
then using a reverse lens adaptor on it with a mini tripod
and adjusting the focus by raising or lowering the height
with books and paper and using the remote shutter button.
My subject was a match head.

The A35 wins as it only took a few seconds whereas I had to muck around
for 30 minutes with the Canon to get it right.
The kit lens in standard use is blurry and that was the best out of over 10 shots.
The reverse lens does pick up more but it's not all in focus.

see pic attached.

cheers
Allan
