For future reference purpose post it is. You can also track the evolution of the camera sensors. However I doubt how long I would be updating this post.
This list is made for my future works for easy find.

As mobile photography is improving, smartphone makers are partnering with lens makers. For eg, Huawei-Leica, OnePlus-Hasselblad, Vivo-Zeiss. But before Android or iPhone hits the market, Nokia did some excellent job during the beginning of mobile photography - Nokia had used Zeiss lens in some of its Symbian phones.
These days most camera sensors are either from Sony (IMX series) or Samsung (Isocell).
There is another thing which are getting popular in high end smartphones - computational imaging by adding AI engine or NPU (neural processing unit). Google has its best with Pixel Neural Core.
It has been learnt that Xiaomi will use Leica's lens in their upcoming smartphones, probably in MIX series, flip phones and Mi flagships. (End of March, 2022 update)
Oppo has developed MariSilicon X chip of 6 nm architecture that includes the NPU, an image signal processor (ISP) and a custom memory architecture, all of which work together to improve the imaging capabilities of mobile photography.
Redmi N9pm - 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW1 sensor - GW1 is direct competitor of Sony IMX686 (as in Asus Rog Phone 3's 64MP)
Redmi N9p has Samsung ISOCELL GM2 sensor.
Redmi Note 10 pro has 64 MP Samsung GW3 sensor,
RN10 has Sony IMX582 48MP
Redmi Note 10 pro max has 108 MP Samsung HM2 sensor.
Next of IMX686 is IMX689 (OnePlus 8 pro 48MP, Oppo Find X2) - That puts along with Samsung ISOCELL Bright HM1 (S20 Ultra).
Interestingly OnePlus 8T, 8 and Nord all have 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor.
Remember even if you get the best hardware, it is very important that software part handles it well. For eg, Google pushes it basic camera hardware to an exception level only by Google Camera app. Computational photography tech is now matured than ever. Xiaomi uses an AI engine to get better results.
Mi 10T has Sony IMX 682 (64MP)
Mi 10T Pro has Samsung HMX (108MP)
One Plus 9 Pro - 14 mm UW 50 MP IMX766 f/2.2 110° FOV + AF
One Plus 10 Pro - 23 mm main Camera sensor is 48 MP Sony IMX789 1/1.45'' f/1.8 + PDAF + Laser AF+ OIS; 14 mm UW 50 MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 f/2.2 + AF 150° FOV; 77 mm Telephoto - 8MP f/2.4 + PDAF + OSI (3.3x optical zoom) - Developed jointly by Hasselblad, 3D nano crystal ceramic lens cover.
After Oppo-OnePlus merger, it seems Hasselblad partnership is also extended to Oppo phones, as Find X5 Pro comes with Hasselblad branding.
Oppo Find X5 Pro's Camera sensors:
Secondary: 50MP, Ultra-wide angle, Sony IMX766, f/2.2, 1/1.56-inch
Tertiary: 13MP, Samsung S5K3M5, 2x telephoto, f/2.4
