I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    Sometimes last year Marquez Brownlee (I think it was him, I don’t think it was Dave2D) was conducting a blind test among his audience which Photos they thought looked best. Some top brands were jumping up and down from one test scenario to another but the Fairphone ended up in the midfield constantly. True, that’s not a glowing recommendation of the camera but at least an insurance that one doesn’t get utter trash either.

      Do you happen to know whether this was before or after the camera update? The camera has been noticeably improved at some point.

        Not off the top of my head but I distinctly remember that the Pixel A phone scored higher than the flagship Pixel model.

        I would need to look the video up but I’m also between appointments, so I can comment for a bit but not do research.

        iirc, it’s typically the pixel a series, normal pixel series, the most expensive iPhone, and the Samsung flagship (or smth like that)

        The Pixels tend to give really punchy contrast which a lot of people like
