No RAW?
I thought newer phones had that, I don't spend much time with phone stuff.
My son did recently show me with his S10 if he swipes down on the shutter button it takes a series of 23 (from memory but could be wrong) images in quick succession. My old S8 if I hold the shutter down it does the same. He's suggested to someone up the north coast it might enable them to capture lightning with their phone. I'm not sure if it changes any settings (bracketing) or just the one lot of same exposure images.

Hi Leo,
well it looks like only the S series Samsung's have RAW data available.
Mine is an A series - a mid range model -
the S series are the premium models.

In any case the Samsung has won the Macro shootout except of course
if I used a reverse kit lens on the DSLR -
put it on my focus rail -
took many shots and used focus stacking software to make an image -
then the DSLR would win easily.
Or - if I used a proper Macro lens on the DSLR.

In any case the Samsung mobile phone is so convenient and simple to use.
I didn't even use a tripod and remote shutter switch - as I did with the DSLR.

cheers
Allan
