It looks like there is an increase of depth of field, which might make it look more like it is from a phone than cinematic (small sensor = increased depth of field)

Smaller sensor means less depth of field. Look at what you can do with a medium format camera

For the same field of view, a smaller sensor requires a decrease in the focal length; this leads to a greater depth of field. Moving to a medium-format camera will give less depth of field (and a large-format camera even less). Different sensor sizes using the same focal length will give the same depth of field, but the field of view will vary.

That’s backwards.

Nope. Circle of confusion is smaller.
