Awesome! There are so many cool things we could be doing with our phones if they weren't locked to a single OS
wow amazing
Awesome
I see AF algo has some trouble with defocussing a perfectly sharp scene for no reason. :)
Does this HW have access to PDAF pixel data?
Great job.
My advice would be to not take the frustrating and useless road of a non-profit structure for some things that you do for pleasure.
The for-profit will be simpler and give you more liberties, and if, in the end, you have the good mindset that you want your creations to be shared freely, you can do it anyway. It is a state of mind.

Uhhhhh congratulations for what would be pre-Android 1.0?
Frankly, this is similar to Pinephone Pro, which the last time I checked, couldn't even do the "phone" part of "PinePhone pro". And tons of hardware was non-functional since all they did was piece shit together and not support software in any way.
Maybe I shouldnt be as negative, but fuck, we need a competitive Linux phone comparable to Android and IPhone, and EVERY Linux phone project is, well, braindead stupid and 15 years prior to anything current. And folks making patches are ignored for weeks or months, if ever included at all.
PostmarketOS can't partner with any OEM/ODM and volunteers have to use hacks to unofficially implement basic Android 1.0 functionality years after a device was released? That's sad to see. This is just lame, drivers should be implemented by those who work on them..
We had Librem 5 which had real OS support that didn't have to rely on third-party volunteers, I wish they released something more modern..
The part about getting authorized to test the emergency calling capabilities is cool! I should've expected that would be a thing but I didn't ever consider it.
