- Sources: catcrafts.net write-up, HN discussion
- Summary: The author reports the Fairphone 6 main camera working under postmarketOS, and describes a driver with a stated upstreaming path rather than a device port alone. The post separately reports that a Dutch emergency-number test was approved for 2026-08-18. Both claims rest on the author's own post and were not independently reproduced this run.
- Why it matters: Camera support is the usual blocker for mainline Linux on current Qualcomm phone hardware, and an emergency-call test is the check a Linux phone has to pass before it can serve as a primary device.
- Follow-up: Track whether the driver is submitted upstream and the outcome of the 2026-08-18 emergency-number test.
