Apps like the recently released Blackmagic Camera could help bridge the gap between professional-grade camera systems and your Android phone.

For very loose definitions of “bridge the gap”.
Sensor size is an advantage no mobile phone well ever be able to make up for, and it’s more important than almost any other component in a camera system.
Sure, you can Photoshop or AI enhance any picture taken with the shittiest phone and make it seem professional. You’re always going to be making up dynamic range and detail with fake data.

“This app won’t work for your device” :(

Play store said this too with my phone (Pixel 8a), but the app works fine if downloaded from another source (e.g. Aurora).
I played with it for a few minutes and it looks very nice. I like most that it supports HDMI out for a clean feed, so I could use it for live streaming (with a Blackmagic Atem Mini for example).

I like the Lineage OS camera

I don’t think these two apps can be compared in any reasonable way.
The Blackmagic app is purely targeted at videographers, it can’t even take a photo. It does however offer dozens of options to tune the style of the video, for example setting the ISO, refresh rate and white balance.
Lineage OS Camera is targeted at a general audience and does not contain any “pro” features. It’s great and simple, and that is fine.

The Lineage OS camera app has an advanced menu to change settings

I have a xiaomi with lineageos and the “advanced settings” of the camera app are very limited. This might vary between devices maybe?
