Title: Camera module delivery?
Post by: geomannie on March 11, 2018, 07:15:06 am

I am trying to use my Gemini as a replacent for my conventional "slab" phone. So far it seems to work pretty well though I am really missing my forward facing camera. Does anyone know when the optional camera modules will be delivered? Until then I might go back to my old phone for primary use.

Thanks

Would you he happy with a back camera without flash? The resolution is tiny, but the pictures seem to be OK judging from the front camera (shot an image of a fold-out manual with tiny print and it's still readable). But having no flash limits the casual use case of just being able to photograph something whatever the lighting conditions. One might be better off carrying a small digigam. After all, they are smaller than the Gemini;-)

I also am holding off retiring my mobile until the camera add-on becomes available. I would say that I've found that I rarely need to use the flash on my mobile, and for some time had it turned off without realising it.
