The SoC appears to be a 7% CPU/GPU perf bump according to Qualcomm. No info on North American compatibility yet.

    If the cameras were significantly improved, I’d probably upgrade and gift my current FP6 to my niece. Looks like they’re exactly the same though. For my use cases, I don’t see any point in having more RAM or a better SoC in my phone, FP6 will serve me just fine on that front for many years.

      Speaking of the cam, I find it quite good. It’s comparable to Pixel a-series. What sucks for me is that it’s not consistent. That’s entirely software though.

        It can take nice pictures, but as you say, it’s not consistent. I’m not sure it’s entirely software. Even using GCam software, about 30-40% of my pictures end up being wobbly. My Pixel 4a made much better pictures on average. Also, videos seem to have frequent stutters. Then there’s the wideangle camera, which I’d consider pretty unusable quality-wise.

        So that means they’ll fix it through a software patch, right?
