I'm curious what camera you are using if you have one of the newer high-end smart phones (e.g., iPhone11, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra)?

I've been using the LrM camera on my Galaxy S8+ because i like the fact that it shoots in DNG and the resulting images are far more editable than JPEG. However, the latest high end smart phones ( just got a Galaxy s20 Ultra) have some pretty fantastic camera arrays and software that have some great features (e.g, night mode, excellent panoramas, power zooms, portrait mode, etc.) and it can be a tough choice: use the phone's camera array to take a pretty impressive image yet know that the file will be less editable, or shoot the image with LrM camera and have more editability but perhaps a less interesting image to start with?

Curious what y'all are doing.
 
My Pixel 4 allows me to shoot RAW in most modes, so I use that instead of the LR camera. So I still get all the range of RAW with the native app.
 
I use the Lr Camera on my iPhone 8+.
 
that's a great point, and thanks for the reminder. Not sure why one would need the RAW file and a JPEG, and i'll need to figure out a simple way of easily deleting the JPEG.
