Given the plethora of lens/sensor and camera app configurations, I'll leave recommendations to others. I have seen some recent comparisons of (the usual) expensive flagships with widely different output in interiors, especially in rendering outdoors or just blowing out background windows. Intuitively it seems the more HDR exposures the better, and Pixels are among the best. Chasing smartphones might be futile.
Assuming a tripod and full trial of the various Pixel camera shooting modes (e.g. more HDR exposures with Enhanced and more yet with Nightsight - some do use it in daylight) you might try a more "manual" style camera app for less "automated" output, direct control of ISO and shutter, as well as HDR. Open Camera (I prefer the Hedgecam2 spin) has good alternative settings and manual exposure control, and actually implements Pixel's HDR+ in its standard mode on Pixel cameras, and is free, but there are fine paid apps, too.
Thanks, might as well give open camera a try while I figure out the new camera thing
