    For me the big problem is the camera. Ideally I should probably carry a proper camera with me at all times, but that’s just not realistic. I really value the pictures I take throughout my life so I need a phone that captures things well.

    It seems for now Ubuntu Touch does a decent job with Android camera drivers, but Nura has a long way to go on all devices. I trust it’ll get there though.

      For me, the camera is totally unimportant other than being able to scan QR codes and do pinch to zoom so that I can read print because of me being legally blind. But as far as pictures go, I basically never use the camera.

      Pretty much as long as it can scan QR codes, I’m okay with it.

      Me too, and I wanted it working last year. I considered GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel 9 or 10 Pro with the Google camera app, but installed /e/OS on a Sony Xperia 1 V with the Sony camera app. Relocking the bootloader is forbidden by Sony.

        Yeah, I’m also using /e/OS for the time being. The Fairphone camera app is officially supported for /e/ on Fairphone 5, so no compromise is needed. I just don’t want to stick around on Android forever. :)
