Can't pull in that far away object without getting weird pixelation on your mobile phone? Here's an easy hack that can help out.
Bring along a pair or binoculars (or monocular) and align one lens to your mobile phone lens. It can be tricky, but once you get the right alignment, you now have a 2-4x zoom without the extra pixelation.
You get a vignette around the image unless you crop that out in post. A Lens Baby effect that also be achieved.
I've found it best to not zoom the camera phone - keep it at normal, then align with the binocular. If the binocular is on a tripod of a stable surface, it's easier than trying to hold both.
Here's some samples..
