I'm still on a Fairphone 4 -- in fact, in December it surpassed all my previous smartphones as the one I've owned and used the longest since smartphones became a thing. However, I'm on CalyxOS and have always used a GCam port for taking photos. So I'm not sure if I will get this camera software update or if I have to move back to the (buggy) stock Fairphone OS to see the changes.
That's the thing. They don't make their camera app available to third party ROMs despite officially cooperating with one, and they also haven't made the camera's features available to third party camera apps. So for me, being on CalyxOS myself, that announcement email read like a joke.
