Is the canon powershot g9 x mark ii better than a phone?

Yes, for the things a phone struggles with. The G9 X Mark II has a 1-inch sensor, and its 10-31mm lens frames like 28-83mm on full frame. That's a modest zoom, so it wins on low light and real background blur, but it won't reach far the way a telephoto would.

If you want a bright zoom, look at the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II, which has a 24-100mm-equivalent zoom. The older Canon PowerShot G9 X uses a 1-inch sensor too, but I have less to say about it.

Only buy a camera over your phone if the reasons on Your first camera matter to you. Otherwise, your phone is fine.
