Are old point and shoot cameras better than new smartphone cameras?

I have an 8 year old sony cybershot point and shoot camera that I hadn't used in a while, and a Galaxy note 8 smartphone (which came out less than a year ago). I took a few pictures with both and compared...they didn't seem like that much of a difference! But IDK.

Because they’re not that different. The technology used in smartphones are all over saturated photos. Especially on Samsung phones. The S9 is no better even with 2x optical zoom on either lens.

@MsAnnThropy I think point and shoot cameras have better low light photos

@MntoNc I agree - I've had this problem too.
