    Whybis the camera such an issue for linuxphones? The few I checked had untested or partial results for camera.

      Openness. Most cameras for android phones are proprietary because it’s easier to save money by not having a common controller for cameras and just using a proprietary blob.

        But are the sensors not third party, generally Sony or zeiss?

        Pure pain, similar with graphene, the pixel camera is a selling point and it is sbite on graphene.

        There if a foss pixel camera app that does a good job though

          Right. But the processing pipeline is not. If you took one single image from the sensor of the pixel or iPhone it would look like ass compared to what the processed one looks like. The poeple capable of writing those pipelines don’t typically do it for free.

            Interesting, is it called the camera processing pipeline? Id be interested in reading some more and seeing if there is a foss project

          OpenCamera? Used it for years but on my FP5 the auto brightness / exposure is only working 10% of the time 😭
