I have an aging (2 years old now) flagship smartphone and basically want a camera that’s as decent as the one I already have, but without Google servers getting pinged every time I’m traveling and want to remember where I am - apparently my phone GPS isn’t enough, Google Play Services insist they must get involved.

Some ideal requirements would include:

• ~3x zoom
• Solid macro photography
• Optical image stabilization
• Functional in low light
• A sensor at least the same size as my phone’s (1/1.3")
• Small enough to fit in some pocket
• GPS tagging
• A sub-$800 price tag?

I understand this is a huge ask, and that modern cell phones have a pocket dimension that somehow fits this hardware inside of them, but I figured I may as well check.
