damn, that's kinda a big deal. FP4 seems like it's already relatively well supported, so the camera support makes it even better. Too bad that the FP4 is kinda hard to get here in North America without spending a crazy amount of money.

I just got a fairphone 5 to use, waiting on full camera support, GPS, and audio, but apparently VoLTE is coming, so hoping to daily drive it soon.

Dang, that's a deal breaker! Have mine running Ubuntu touch and I am only fond of it to a limited degree. Is that main channel or does it require wizardry?

It's a work in progress, showcased by the dev (and afaik Fairphone employee). So it will take some time to hit the update channel.
