How big you can print depends a lot on how close you plan to look at the result. Subjectively I don't like cellphone pictures, even at small sizes where the resolution is entirely adequate: you can tell where there is less detail due to aggressive distortion correction, transitions between in focus and out of focus areas tend to be ugly etc. https://i.lensdump.com/i/jpzeyr.jpg https://i.lensdump.com/i/jpzeyr.jpg <- I took this with a camera from 2013 (a Sigma DP3 Merrill) https://i.lensdump.com/i/jpzL73.jpg https://i.lensdump.com/i/jpzL73.jpg <- While I took this with a camera from 1996 and a lens from 1994 (Contax G2 and Zeiss Planar 2/45) https://i.lensdump.com/i/jpzoID.jpg https://i.lensdump.com/i/jpzoID.jpg <- Camera from 1998, lens from 1990 (Leica M6 TTL, Elmarit-M 90/2.8), please ignore the dust on my scan and look at the transitions (I should probably point out that these are all from relatively compact cameras, not even the size of a small full frame slr)
