Not to mention Chinese brands have sort of ban on global market.

Can't rule that out I guess, some of those are only good for shooting projection screens.
Then again, Gcam could make even those decent, as long as there's proper support...

Cameras don't sell me on phones anymore. The differences are so miniscule now that only some nit-picking prosumer would care.

I want to be shocked. The S22 Ultra is using a low MP sensor for its periscope camera and it shows. I'm on the lookout for a phone that outcompetes the Ultra in zoom range and quality.
