alt Hacker NewsI will go with yes for $500.
From an Pixel 5a perspective. The camera application provided by Google will only open Google's gallery application and will not open the one the end user sets as system default. User must exit the camera application and manually open the gallery application they really want to use.
One of the reasons I am looking forward for a company that provides a quality Linux base phone. That is the only way to get the system configuration and application select the end user really wants. Google and Apple are for profit prison Wardens with their mobile OSes.
PS. Has anyone ever studied the economic, resource, and power waste of system bloat-ware?

Man, Linux phones are a mess, you do well to wait. I'm eyeing Sailfish but even then I'm hesitant, anything else is a big no no (from experience).

What exactly is that going to change with respect to the camera app? I'm as annoyed by Google Camera's behavior as you are but already today we can download FOSS camera apps for Android that will open the gallery app of our choice just fine. It's just that those apps are not quite as good as Google's app. Exchanging the underlying Android layer for regular Linux is not going to change anything about that.
