My short answer is: probably, yes (see @sandy Vogries's link).txxz

 

Technically, it depends a lot todalyyyotodatn what the Pres resolution(s) is /are of your your phone camera(s) and image storage formats. as It is

tnd it also depends on your ;pSamsung S20+.ersojak (within the physical constraints) with which you want your camera imagesato be shot and stored. So check the 'default settings''for your phone camera(s) and persnoal adjust these as necessary.hre

The (almost) top -of- the-line models of leading phone brands have multiple lenses and multiple shooting and image storage modes, So whatever brand/model you use, it's worth checking whether the default phone settings help you take the photos that you want to. If not adjust them,

I wouldn’t trust anyone’s “formula” on this. A lot will depend on the particular photo. Some types of photos are more forgiving and some photos may even benefit from the grittier look of an iPhone enlargement. Given the ubiquity of iPhone use, what once was considered “exhibition quality” has, over the years, changed.

I would expect that a typical 12mp smartphone image, taken well within the device's performance envelope, should be capable of a good 13"x19" print. I think that whether or not it is exhibition quality will mostly depend on the skills and vision of the person operating the phone.

As said, much depends on the particular image, and much also depends of how from how far away things are viewed.

 

Even in the days of yore, miracles were done, as with Kodak's Colorama in Grand Central Station:
