minus-square@anamethatisntlinkEnglish12•1 year agoAs I liked the “fair” part of Fairphone I gave them a shot and bought the FP4. I cannot recommend them. The camera app sucks, but by grabbing a GCAM APK from xda-developers and using that instead you can get acceptable photo quality. Since Android 12 FP4 has a screen brightness bug that makes the phone rather unusable outside on a sunny day. This is the deal breaker as the problem hasn’t been solved yet. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/random-screen-dimming-while-brightness-slider-stays-at-100-after-a12-update/93195
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoPersonally I’m not a big picture-taker, so it doesnt bother me one bit. For me though the main draw of the FP was the repairability

Gcam’s night vision is crazy!

you underestimate normies sticking to defaults
I don’t think a normie is buying this phone
