Just to give a visual example of my own experiences, the first image is a typical shot from 2017 iPhone 8, 12MP, shot at ISO 20 (lowest possible noise), and the second image is from a 2011 Lumix GF2 Mirrorless, 12MP, shot at ISO 200.

The first image is a splotchy mess, while the second image retains fine details, only the outside edges are blurry due to the toy lens I used. The other big differences that people are quick to notice, depth-of-field and focal length.
