Given that file size, I'm thinking that wasn't a 64MP photo. 64MP photos on my phone are over 10MB (and they look like junk too, due to the tiny individual pixel size and extra image noise). My phone will also default to the pixel binned 16MP size, which look much better. Even if I set it to 64MP, if I leave the app and come back to it, it resets. In manual mode, 64MP isn't even an option.
I'm guessing your phone did the same, switching to 16MP. Mine are still larger than that, so I'm thinking yours also has a lower bit depth or extra compression applied. Or perhaps an even lower resolution was set.
