You're wondering if the RAW file will contain enough information in blown out highlights and blacked out shadows to pull them back in post, right ? I guess just under and over expose a few photos and have a go ?

I have found jpg processing in phone is getting a lot better now. The jpg's out of my XR seem a lot nicer than the ones I was getting out of my 6S+ previously for example.

Yep, that's it. With a sensor something like twenty times smaller than my DSLR I was wondering how much range it could pull in to make editing a RAW worth it.

I suppose taking some pictures and playing with them in Lightroom would be the obvious answer.

Ok then the answer is yes.

Computational imaging is moving faster than sensor tech but phone sensors are sitting around 9 stops of DR anyway. They’re absolutely good enough to warrant deep editing.
