I was in a dark bar tonight and took the same pickup on an iPhone (8 I think) and Sony alpha 5000 (the one with an APS-C sensor).
There was a huge difference in the pictures, the Sony had much more background detail, coped way better with the dark.
I'd still say that although a phone may compete in decent light there's no substitute for having a decent sensor size and lens in low light.
(Admittedly this happened as the lens on my android phone is screwed, I probably wouldn't have had the camera with me otherwise...)

Obviously straying away from camera chat now. But yeah - it’s a pill that was hard to swallow at first, but I use it more than any other device I own. iPhone 8s aren’t that much cheaper. I did try a cheaper non-iPhone but just didn’t really like it.
This phone is unbelievably capable. Good value for money if I really consider what I do with it/how much I use it. I know cheaper phones can do the same thing, but this just does those things really, really well.
Also, the comment above about still photography dying. Nonsense.
