Google Pixel 4a vs 3500$ PRO Canon Camera // Can a PHONE take better RAW photos than a DSLR in 2021?

The results are IMPRESSIVE! After publishing my comparison & reviewing the Google Pixel 4a, I wondered if its photos could beat my Canon 6D Mk II full-frame DSLR (or other mirrorless) when taking RAW pictures in 2021. With the main camera mode, HDR+, using computational photography (including photo stacking, AI scene detection, local tone mapping, etc.), I wanted to see if these AI techniques in phone cameras (Google Pixel, iPhone, Xiaomi) can actually compensate for the small sensor and lenses. I start by taking a few shots in the beautiful Mont-Tremblant ski resort before moving on to compare the shots in detail.
