Not that different from my ancient Nokia 808 PW or the Nokia 1020, and I presume the low light performance will be worse as well.

Why would a 2018 sensor from the low-light kind (Sony) have worse "low light performance" than a 2013 one (of equal number of megapixels too)? Brand loyalty?

I'm guessing that from the pixel size (1.12µm vs 0.8 μm).
