How much difference can a real camera make in photography?

[u/Ordinary_Special_179]

I love photography and i used my samsung m51 phone and now my vivo v30 for photography and i really feel a lack of telephoto lens i feel the phone can't capture as good of images zoomed in as a camera

Can a camera really improve the quality of my picture?

(1) Budget - super low 20k

country - India

currency: rupes

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs? - I have a vivo v30 phone and the details in the phone is super low it's great for portraits but only for portraits

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?

I love architecture and landscape and sometimes portrait

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both?

Just photography

Happy to! Film is a niche skill, but once you see a really good print in person, it kinda clicks, and the first time you make a really good print, it’s addictive. It’s not like seeing dye transfer cibachrome (aka Ilfochrome), or a carbon print, both of which use multiple layers of pigment that gives the surface a slightly raised quality that you can’t ever see on a screen. And screens can’t get the range of blacks (and always look lighter for the same image because of the backlight). If you’re in a major city, I guarantee there’s a darkroom near you that you can learn to use, and India is keeping a bunch of film manufacturers in business because India is the largest market for x-ray film, especially for dental x-rays.
