Nothing comes close to Snapseed for editing JPEGs.

For RAW editing, you need to use the mobile Lightroom app, which is also free. Nothing come close to it either.

Snapseed also allows for RAW editing. It's less powerful on editing RAWs than Lightroom but it's very fast.

No control over noise reduction and sharpening in Snapseed. Seems to be baked into the file. In my experience this results in less detail.

The best thing about Lightroom is not just RAW editing, but shooting in RAW (3-shot HDR RAW). This seems to result in a very malleable RAW file.

I think my phone is not compatible with Raw HDR in Lightroom.

Some Gcams do Raw stacking but I Don't know how many files it merges. You get more dynamic range of the RAW file but the detail is slightly worse in my opinion.

Detail is pretty good with Lightroom HDR. Here's an edited iPhone 7 sunrise photo shot in Lightroom HDR RAW. This was an extremely contrasty scene and my traditional camera wouldn't have managed it without bracketing on a tripod.

Wow!  That's a great sunrise photo using Lr HDR raw!  Thanks you guys for the input and keeping this thread alive.
