As a full frame DSLR shooter (Nikon D750 + 20mm F1.8), this is wild
considering those crappy tiny sensors on phones. To get similar (albeit much,
much sharper) results, I have to lug around 2kg of camera and lens plus bulky
tripod.

Even with this, to get those dark dust clouds and stark colors some heavy
postprocessing is required (which I mostly don't do because I consider it too
much an alteration of original image, but it creates more interesting image).
Don't think for a second that those superb images you can see everywhere are
not literally over-painted in Photoshop (look at online tutorials on how to do
it if you don't believe me).

I guess to make things impressive, google guys went to some proper remote
desert far from any artificial light. And unless I missed something, they
still used some tripod. In european alps, this kind of result is practically
impossible - there is always some tiny village in every valley, and even if
not light pollution seeps from far. One night panorama I have has quite strong
glow coming from village of Chamonix some 15km far, that is on the other side
of massive Mont Blanc range [1]. Anything can be achieved if you start playing
a lot with Photoshop brushes, layers etc. but for me its one step too far.

Imagine what results can be had when such algorithms are paired to a full
frame (or bigger) sensor!

Tbh it's not that hard to get sharper results, this was shot on a 40 years old
camera, with a 50+ years old lens using a cheapo carbon fiber tripod ( 25+mph
wind that probably rocked my camera quite a bit)
