This is a nice post from Reddit...
I have been daily driving a Linux smartphone for 18 months, AMA
I started out with a Pinephone Pro and Mobian but currently daily a Nord N10 5G (billie!) running ubports/Ubuntu Touch. It's a halium device, which I've found to be the best balance of kernel tuning for battery life and usability while letting me have full Linux on top.
@peja How's the camera? Inability to take good photos and videos is the only thing stopping me from using the PinePhone Pro as a daily driver.
@duncan_bayne This is post from reddit, I just shared, phones are not mine..
@peja @duncan_bayne I can confirm the camera functionality is excellent. I have the same device with ubports. There's a telegram group specifically for it that you can ask questions in
@davidoclubb @peja Hey that's not bad! <400 AUD from Amazon.

Makes me wonder (no snark intended) why the state of the camera on PinePhone / PinePhone Pro is so poor.
@duncan_bayne @davidoclubb @peja It comes down to we aren't spending thousands of dollars on post processing. Sensors on smartphones are tiny so they get over it by processing the images. There's tons of research these companies do to improve the image quality that isn't happening or slowly happening in the open source world. The PPP has an ISP that we can program for so you can see the work libcamera is doing for processing in real time. Megapixels does it in post and works on all devices.
@pavel @duncan_bayne @Luigi311 @peja I'm hugely grateful for everything being done in this sector. My contribution must lie in promotion, advocacy and translation. I am no coder! But a constant warrior for open source
