Yes
Toying with the idea of just doing 'smartphone' photography, but don't have a device capable of capturing RAW.

Anybody processed any RAWs from a smartphone? Perhaps you'd be willing to upload if yes.

Thanks.
 
Quite a few phones supported it for a while. Oneplus One did iirc. Was it any better than the built in jpg engine? Not much. The big advantage is clearly fixing white balance in post.

iPhone 6s and above supports it, but not the stock camera app, well at least on iPhone 7. I used to shoot raw using the lightroom app, but there are others
 
Thing is, no matter how good a phone camera gets - and they are pretty good nowadays - they’re only going to be as good as the best - if that, as well - compact camera with a 1 ⅔ sensor.. So it my be cool to get it as a project but I have to ask why ? couldn’t we just use an old compact camera if we wanted to?

I suggest that's not true. The other thing that phones have going for them is software, and that's light years ahead of where the major camera manufacturers are. For example phones can do HDR in-camera. Phones can do panoramas in camera. Phones can recognise faces and facial expressions (smiling, blinking, etc). Phones can combine inputs from two lenses to extract depth information and simulate very fast apertures. Phones can do deconvolution in-camera. Phones can combine multiple images with the sensor moved half a pixel width between shots to create ultra high resolutions. And so on, and so on.

And you can even make a phone call :D
 
Phones also have gyros so they know how much you are shaking and can accommodate it in shutter speed, and so many other great developments. Given the huge competition they are evolving faster than any other camera market around. Imagine an SLR with these features.. the SLR market has moved very slowly by comparison.
