My Pixel is configured to save a raw image as well as the jpeg. I believe you can do this with most phones. The DNG files have at least a stop or two of editing latitude from the Pixel 3a. If you want the feel of a Leica, check out the X100 series from Fujifilm. They are excellent in every version, so you can choose your price on the used market. The only caveat is that the 35mm-equivalent focal length needs to resonate with you.
