You can put a high quality lens, but you still have a form factor and
physics issue. Good cameras have a much larger lens to gather more
light allowing the use of a slower film. This is even more important in
digital cameras, where emulating a fast film injects a lot of noise
into an image. Thus, there is no way a keitai image can match the
quality of a standard digital camera or regular camera unless there is
a larger lens (or a major change in the sensing devices).
