If done purely on sensor size, then the RX100 should be better than a smartphone. The RX100 is 1" ? The iPhone 7 1/3" ?

The RX100 also has f1.8 at the widest compared to the iPhone's f2.2

Fair enough, only asking because I was massively impressed by image quality of oneplus 5 camera on the recent trip. Only thing I missed a bit was variable focal length.

Although it can shoot RAW the JPGs do come across a bit 'overworked' within the camera software.

Before the trip I was contemplating a compact camera to carry in jersey pocket (RX100) hence the question.

If you just want a point and shoot in your jersey pocket a smartphone is fine I think.
Dedicated camera if you want to shoot film and/or want more manual control over the camera's functions, differing focal lengths etc.
