I am gonna guess #2 on this with absolutely no confidence i am right based on the out of focus area of the photo
This is my alt for longer posts.
Spot on!
The one with the centered doll was taken with an iPhone 12 mini. The mini has a 12 megapixel camera and a fixed 1.6 f-stop. It has a "26mm full-frame equivalent focal length." - from Wikipedia.
The colored ones aren't edited at all. I changed the aspect ratio for the black and white ones to both be 3:2.
I noticed that the colors looked very different depending on how the camera processed them and what the light looked like at the time.
The aspect ratio for the iPhone is different than my Canon's. The Canon has a 3:2 aspect ratio and the iPhone has ... something. I'm not sure.
If I really wanted to trick someone, I would make sure that the lighting, framing, and perspective were exactly the same, and I would make both photos have a 3:2 aspect ratio. I should really try that just to experiment with it. ☺️
I used to have a nokia windows phone (i knowww) and nokia had the most awesome camera app. It was super easy and tactile to go manual and adjust exposure and focus and while auto everything is awesome for accessibility there is also something very unaccessible about "good enough auto" because it discourages people from ever tinkering with learning more.
Its sad that I talk to so many people that don't allow themselves to be Real Photographers and say "yah i love taking photos but i *just* use my phone.
I think auto everything interfaces are great, but they should invite you to tinker and learn about photography if only for the purpose of making you FEEL like you are legitimately an artist with a camera.
In my opinion while smartphones have massively succeeded at getting good cameras into everyones hands they have massively failed at making people feel like using them is part of learning a respectable craft.

Huh f1.6 thats purty goodddd, tho I wonder what equivalent aperture that is in a full frame?
Yah I don't think its a matter of can phones look as good as dedicated cameras its rather a matter of the wider range of what a dedicated camera can do.
Also... yah this is a certain strangeness to colors and general image processing being a total blackbox.
I think its AWESOME how good even average price tier smart phone cameras are, it puts cameras in so many peoples hands.
