I don't like using my phone as a camera to hike with - I do it but often run the battery down and it's sometimes useful to have it for maps (yeah, I don't use paper maps) and have some battery for emergency.
My fuji is sometimes too big so I sometimes bring an old canon ixus 100 - it's credit card sized and about 1cm thick. jpeh only but nice colours and can import to my phone to edit with a USC-C micro-SD card reader
I guess running the battery down depends on how you're using it and how the long the hiking is. With my phone on airplane mode and the screen turned down in brightness my GPS still works and the phone lasts a very long time, the camera doesn't seem to use up that much juice.
