Pretty much all of them are worse. Theres is no magic wrt to dynamic range on the DSLR (or mirrorless) so if camera does not HDR processing the result will be worse than smartphone's.

DSLR/mirrorless sensors have several stops more dynamic range than a phone (don't know exact numbers), so that's not necessarily true. The phone trick of taking multiple images doesn't always work if there's eg rapid motion.

Dead wrong. There are cameras that have 15 stops of native dynamic range.
