Is there a way?

Is there a way to tell if the photo for an 8x10 print was taken with a high quality cell phone camera, simply by viewing it at the proper distance? Is there a way to do that?

Sometimes. But hardly ever at 8x10.
Depends on the challenges within the shot and how they are handled. I would certainly agree that in most instances an uncropped 8x10 wont tell you anything.
In a comparison between a "real camera" and a phone, if the real camera is using the "Green" or "PhD" highly auto mode then both devices will handle challenging conditions pretty much the same.

Define "proper distance."

Out of curiosity, why does it matter?

I'd say normally "proper distance" to view the quality of a photo would be at 100% magnification.
Regardless, the answer is still "No"
The only accurate way to tell is in the metadata.

It may matter for those who only want to view prints from what they consider to be "real cameras". The purists need a way to tell if a print is from a fake camera. 😉😉

Its not subjective. Its a standard that you can look up (or even start anther thread).

Lots of technical ways to do this but each person determines their own preferred distance, not too far, not too close, but just right.

Not "lots of technical ways". Theres only one. And applying it to looooong reach tele shots or extreme ultra wides means stand waaaay back or almost sticking your nose on the print.

Comparisons are not allowed. Either it’s a "real" photo or it isn’t.

OK ... then clearly its NOT a real photo. It exists only as a hypothesis.

If you can't feel that an image came from a mirrorless camera, it probably didn't.
