Product photography - Can you do it with a Phone?
Apparently if you don't miss focus, Yes you can do it with a phone, and with a cheap one.
Photos taken with Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (i think you can get one for 150$ now) and edited with Snapseed app on the phone.
Looks like i missed the focus, or i got a bit of motion blur because the scene was pretty dark. And i did not notice it until i started editing (well i would notice it sooner if i just looked :) )
If you phone has a portrait lens with a longer focal length it would be even easier, or maybe if you have a bigger monitor. with a wide angle camera my background was small.
What i learned with this test.
It could look good with a phone.
Bigger monitor would be great
Mirror would probably be a better choice then glass, especially on brighter backgrounds.
Don't forget you can adjust brightness on your monitor, it helps.
With darker scenes, it would be smart to have a tripod or to be more careful.
If you want to add smoke find someone to assist you.
If you don't use mirror under the glass you should put something black.
My lap top battery is in a really bad shape.
So if you have a phone, monitor, mirror/glass and some kind of light source for additional light, you can make interesting shots of an small product, literarily on your flor.
Here are some photos taken with an Canon R6 and 35mm lens.

Yes you can use a smartphone, I have the same model and taking pictures in pro mode is very easy and you can control the focus manually.
looking at the data, i think it was motion blur. as i just did auto with exposure compensation and my shutter speed was 1/30.
