Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Rules:

  1. Keep posts on topic.
  2. Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  3. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  4. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  5. Please be respectful to each other.

Not having a good camera is a no go for me, unfortunately. It just seems the case that “ethical” manufacturers cannot compete with good cameras.

This one has a 25 MP front camera, which sounds like a good camera to me.

Edit: It gets even better!

On the back you'll find a 48 MP main camera with OIS and a 48 MP wide-angle camera with a macro feature. The third circle on the back isn't a camera; instead, it houses a laser autofocus system, color sensor, and a time-of-flight sensor.

MP doesn't matter if you can't get good pictures.

I think it’s important to educate the public that more MP doesn’t mean better. More MP just means a larger sensor but it doesn’t mean anything regarding the optical lens quality.

Here is a review https://www.dxomark.com/fairphone-4-camera-test/

Despite the technology update, the Fairphone 4 does not come close to the category leaders Google Pixel 6 and Apple iPhone SE and occupies one of the lower spots in the DXOMARK Camera ranking for High-End smartphones.
