Cell phone cameras can't hold a light to most DSLRs made in the last decade.
I'd venture a guess that that camera is probably at least around entry level mirror less camera level quality within the the last 3-4 years, but in a much larger DSLR body. The rebel was (and still is) a quality camera.
A decade worth of improvements is a lot of change, but like cars, most people barely notice the difference. A camera is still at its base: Zoom, focus, quality of shot and form factor.
Nut shell:
Canon Rebel XTi EOS 400D (Year 2006)
10.1 MP
22.2 x 14.4mm APS-C Sensor
100 - 1600 ISO
Shutter 1/4000
Nikon J1 (Year 2011 mirrorless)
10.1 MP
13.2 x 8.8mm CMOS sensor
100-3200 ISO
Shutter 1/16000 (Because mirror less is naturally faster)
I think it's a perfectly fine camera.
