I bought the pinebook pro and ya it just doesnt quite have the power I want it to, but on flipside the lack of power gives the giant battery tons of runtime.

But for the pinephone. I really want >= 32mp camera. Whereas 5MP is ridiculous and 2MP selfie? You're right it's slow, it's not quite figured out entirely.

Pinephone pro coming soon and also doesn't quite hit the wants for me. It does look fast though in specs.

A beefy camera would be very interesting to work with. As of now, our phones do a ton of proprietary processing which makes open source/external solutions... suck. I'd love to have a decent open source camera app with the capacities of something like GCam.

I'm a big fan of open source, literally have open source projects with many stars on github. However, I'm not one of those 'no proprietary blobs' folks.

Sony has a camera chip that's awesome, available, but comes with a blob? Fine with me.

Me neither, though if there's a decent and open source solution available, you know that's going on my devices ;)
