Help me decide

[I Shoot People With My Canon]

Bought this phone because of the size, no extra accessories [for now] to carry, and don’t have to worry about micro sd card. Durability? Remains to be seen. All stuff is breakable but we have to minimize the problems by taking care of it. Anyway, one key feature about this phone that I really like is because of the bloat apps. I’ve been with branded phones and they have tons of bloat apps that I uninstall them because I don’t need them. I am also an amateur photographer and using this phone is actually a personal preference. But I am hoping that they upgrade the camera to at least shoot RAW files and manual settings. I’ve heard of getting an app that does it but adding another app that shows ads is another problem. Feels heavy compared to my “older” G5 and my wife’s S8. Looks iPhone 7 and my son mistakenly took my phone thought it was his [laughing aside]. So, if you want to buy this phone. One thing you have to consider, are you going to use this phone to get away with social status? If yes, this is the phone for you. For me, I need this for calls, messages, camera, and music. Anything else is secondary.

Open Camera has RAW support, full manual controls and zero ads. Even if Essential has RAW support in the works, it's not likely very high on their list.
