My phone camera is ass, and I honestly don't think that new phone cameras are going to surpass DSLRs. A dedicated camera gives you so much control over your image that a smartphone camera can't, even in the pro mode of more advanced cameras. In the end, what separates a photographer from a tourist is how they assert their will upon an image. Choosing more control will give more potential, but it makes sense that someone taking snapshots would opt for a phone since they would just waste that potential anyway.
