Fairphone 6 on postmarketOS gains working main camera driver with autofocus, as emergency calling tests move ahead

A developer says the Fairphone 6 now has a working main camera on postmarketOS, building on prior wide-lens work and adding autofocus plus early color correction. Image quality remains grainy and needs more tuning, while the camera work is expected to be upstreamed with community collaboration.

The update shows steady progress toward making Linux phones more usable for everyday tasks, where camera support has long been a major gap. The approved emergency calling test is also important because reliable 911/112 support is a baseline requirement before alternative mobile operating systems can be taken seriously by mainstream users.
