I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

I'm interested in this one also. I like the look of it. Currently a long-time Pixel user, but I'm open to other options. It will take a truly good camera to pull me away, though.

Sometimes last year Marquez Brownlee (I think it was him, I don't think it was Dave2D) was conducting a blind test among his audience which Photos they thought looked best. Some top brands were jumping up and down from one test scenario to another but the Fairphone ended up in the midfield constantly. True, that's not a glowing recommendation of the camera but at least an insurance that one doesn't get utter trash either.

Do you recall which ones scored the highest?

iirc, it's typically the pixel a series, normal pixel series, the most expensive iPhone, and the Samsung flagship (or smth like that)

The Pixels tend to give really punchy contrast which a lot of people like
