Exciting news down under. Before now, only Redmi phones have been available locally in Australia. Hopefully we eventually get the top tier ultra phones.

Of course, I just imported a 15t pro from Amazon UK for $300 more than the Australian price....

What current android phone takes the least-processed photos?

I don't mean RAW, I mean which ones by default do minimal processing and still look great? Pixel seems to do so much background work, I'm curious what else there is. I had previously considered Xperia but wasn't due for an upgrade yet....

If this goes through, your average (maybe even above average) Android user is not going to unlock their bootloader to install an alternate version of the OS without these restrictions.
