Hola @khaleel1 , quizás serĂa lindo que nos contaras un poco más tu opiniĂłn al respecto, a ti por ejemplo, que utilizas cuando sacas fotos, o que consideras cuando sales a pasear por la ciudad para hacer fotos ?.
Te cuento mi experiencia en general el 80% de todas las veces que uso la cámara es la de mi móvil 
un iPhone X, que saca unas fotos muy decentes de la mayorĂa de los lugares por los que voy.
En ocaciones cuando salgo al campo y deseo tomar fotos de aves o lugares lejanos, utilizo mi réflex Una Nikon 5600 con la lente de 300mm
Para el caso de las Fotos 360, depende de la ocasiĂłn y el sitio, muchas veces utilizo directamente el mĂłvil 
pero si deseo hacer un camino 360 o filmar un vĂdeo 360, utilizo la Theta V, Lara hacer estas fotos/Videos
para lo que es video utiliso dependiendo tambien la ocacion el OSMO, un gimbal para el mĂłvil pero en general realizo los vĂdeos con el mĂłvil
saludos Farid

Thax for sharing idea
For me it isn’t a question of either one or the other. I like to use both, and I also use a pocket sized Canon. I don’t have the money for the best DSLR, but I do appreciate the higher quality and versatility in different conditions and environments. However I definitely use my phone camera more these days, partly because of convenience and because I have difficulty carrying around a larger camera. However if using my DSLR, which doesn’t have any GPS capability, taking at least one photo with my phone is important so that I can track the location and capture that information on the files of the DSLR photos.
I tend to use my DSLR for longer videos than I would use my phone for, and I also have a remote trigger and external Bluetooth microphone. This means I can set up at a distance using a tripod, and record interviews etc, and can filter out a lot of noise. Of course you can also do that with your phone, set it on timer and have an external mic.
I use my pocket camera for convenience also, and as this has wifi connectivity to my phone, I can transfer the files to my phone and upload from there while on the go. I like to stitch together panoramas from this camera and also the DSLR and I find that the results are better than stitched panoramas using my phone.
All in all, for each activity, my phone camera is still important. Even if I take a photo with my other cameras I will also capture a shot or two with my phone, which will quickly add the locations to my timeline. The advantage also of using the phone for photos is the auto backup to Google photos which doesn’t use up any of the Google storage space, whereas if you upload DSLR images they are going to count towards the used space, and you would soon run out given the size of the files.
For 360 I have been using a Samsung, but now have the Ricoh, so experimenting with that. I like being able to remotely activate the 360s using the phone, and then transfer the images and videos to my phone, and then online.

Hey @khaleel1 . Both have their privileges. If you feel comfortable carrying around a DSLR and its bag I would go for that. But that’s just me. It can add a lot of quality to the photos you make once you master its features but that could take a lot of time and efforts. You need to be ready to dedicate yourself to it in my opinion. The easier option is with the phone camera. We live in a modern world, phone cameras quickly catch up to the DSLR level.
