Absolutely not, even disposable cameras from 30 years ago are far better than midrange phone cameras. Maybe not so much in low light, but unlike phones they had a usable flash that solved that problem entirely for anything near the camera (e.g. group photos).
I’d be not just content but thrilled if a phone could get close to analog 35mm full frame performance, but I’d say we’re at least about 10 years away from a flagship phone taking photos as nice as a “normal”, mid-range compact film camera from 1995.
