So, still no phones that have full support for core functionality.

"Camera" looks like it's causing some headaches

Both Pinephone and Pinephone Pro are almost fully supported, including the camera. In any case, we have only the hardware manufacturers to blame for this.

You blame hardware manufacturers for a misleading headline? Odd.

What exactly is misleading?

Camera and baseband seem to be the general pain points. Somewhat unsurprisingly, given that both are complicated black box devices.

If I wanted to give Linux phones a serious try, (and given a PostmarketOS thread, postmarket specifically)

What device do I buy? What gives me the best experience to cost ratio?

So, there aren't any phones that have all core functionality supported?

There's lots of "partially works" that are basically at 99 % perfection, where a small use case is not tested, or buggy, or something.
