Looking for a camera to learn and understand photography better. Is it even worth it compared to a smart phone at my budget?

Recommendations
  • Budget: 250-300€
  • Country: Denmark
  • Condition: Used
  • Type of Camera: Unsure about DSLR or Mirrorless.
  • Intended use: Learning photography
  • If photography; what style: Landscapes, street
  • If video what style: N/A
  • What features do you absolutely need: N/A
  • Portability: Just has to be able to carried around while walking for longer periods without becoming a chore to carry.
  • Cameras you're considering: I've read about these being great for beginners so I've definitely kept my eye on them: Nikon D3500, Nikon D7500, Nikon D5600 and Sony A5000,
  • Notes: My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Flip Z 6, I'm not sure how the camera on that compares to the ones I have looked.

Thanks for checking out my post😄
