It will be interesting to see how much U.S. interest there is in an iPhone and (Google) Android alternative that packs sustainable and ethical smarts.

I'll be curious to see how well this does.

I just put /e/ on my Gen 1 Pixel and the camera quality was not good. I need to try the google camera apk and see if that helps, but that was quite the downer for me. Kind of the only things I care about are battery life and photo quality.

Likewise. This is what kept me from older models, but I'd happily take a Fairphone if there was a model with a good camera out when I'm looking for a phone. I think I can even ger around a missing headphone jack, but pictures is what, it turns out, I use a phone for the most besides the usual messages and web searches and occasional music related stuff.
