    Same.

    I’ve looked at pics presumably posted using a FairPhone on Pixelfed (They have a FP hashtag.), and I think they look good.

    From my conversations on Mastodon, it’s good in all other aspects although some do say the camera isn’t great. The battery is 4200mah, which is bigger than this iPhone 13. I’m going to look into trying one, somehow.
