Re: Phone features? What phone features?

OIS isn't super useful, because often your human subjects will still be moving - their faces will exhibit motion blur even if OIS is compensating for your hand movements. For that reason you should be shooting at 1/30 second or faster, at which speeds most people can hold the camera steadily enough. This is only achieved at acceptable 'ISO' (grainy noise in the image) by having better sensors, bigger sensors and brighter lenses.
If you want longer exposures of static subjects, you'll usually be better off placing your phone on a solid object.
Of course there are niche cases where this does not apply, but they remain just that: niche.
