I bought the FP4 from the Murena store and have some really concerning issues with the phone.
When I first bot it I realized that the camera was really slow (and also not working as good as with Android - the pictures took about 2 seconds to take and wäre blurred). Then I realized the camera Hardware makes noises (!), when I started the App there were clicking and rustling sounds. I supposed that maybe the Autofokus was not working. Then I also realized that the phone would heat up extremely and fast when the camera was running.
I sent the phone back and they send me a New one (unfortunately they could not repair it - which is astonishing for me as repairability was the idea of these FP project as I understand it).
The New one just came and has the same issues: it heats up when the camera is running, the photos are taken extremely slowly and the camera hardware makes these clicking/rustling noises.
Does anyone else have these kinds of issues?
I hope that they will check this the next time before sending it back to me.
Also I think the heating up of the phone could really be dangerous (I quit the camera app after some seconds but am wondering what would Happen if you would let it run)
On February 22, 2024 Fairphone noreply@mail.fairphone.com wrote me an E-Mail about a Camera-Upgrade, available through a System Update…of the fairphone 4 in original system.
…so not yet for /e/…
But perhaps some hope of improvement soon?
