I was under the impression that the larger the sensors pixel size, the more light gets thru and the better the quality of the image.

Samsung continues the trend of impractical sensors for the sake of marketing.

I prefer the high quality 12 MP, large pixel size sensors of Apple cameras over the higher MP cameras of the competition. 200 mp cameras are seeking to impress with marketing of the high mp number which appeal more to the general masses.

lol, without an actual zoom lens you're not "zooming in" on anything, its just digital enlargement.
enough pocket cams that can shoot raw with around 20mp on larger sensors while offering +20x optical zoom, ignoring they usually have OIS as well ..

Doesn't matter what the lens are made from at this point since aperture is what really limits resolution. There's a reason phones have mainly stuck with 12-16 MP and that's cause it is the literal physical limit for the aperture phones use. To also try and compare it to professional cameras is stupid marketing wank.
