    I need good pictures for my job. I have an s22 because the wide angle camera is incredibly useful, and I need a stylus from time to time (also for my job).

    However, barring a huge leap in wide angle camera, a sharp drop in performance/battery life, I’ll run my s22 for as long as it lasts.

    If a fairphone with the functionality I need becomes available (in Canada) sometime between now and when I need a new device, I’ll switch in a heartbeat.

      Oh it’s absolutely understandable why a good camera (and subsequently a good screen to view pictures on) would matter to some.

      It just doesn’t to me, at all, and so it’s not even the first thing that comes to mind when I think about a phone. I don’t like tablet-sized phones because I don’t use it all that much and when I do, there’s no added benefit of a larger screen over a middle-sized screen (or some higher-resolution display). I don’t use the camera at all, and so its quality doesn’t matter to me. I don’t use a stylus because I’d rather use a pen and notepad.

      I’m not criticizing someone wanting those features, I just sometimes need to be told what features are important to other people.
