Recommendation very much appreciated. It looks like a Fairphone running Ubuntu Touch could be exactly what I want.
I just got the Fairphone 3+ and the first impression is fantastic!
Putting lineage os (no google) on it took about 10 minutes, the built quality feels very solid, and it's lighter than my old Samsung S9+ (which I'm about to sell).
After a day of light use the battery is at 86%.
it reminds me a lot of the Nexus 5 but naturally better and bigger screen.
Definitely would recommend it so far!
what's the camera like on the Fairphone using lineageOS
I think it is the stock camera. The app isn't overly fancy.
On the hardware side it seems decent. It's 48mp. Not a photo geek, but it works fine for my purposes:
family pics, pics for reminders, etc
