The camera is acceptable but not great. TBH the main thing blocking me from getting one to use as a daily driver is lack of MMS support

- SubiculumCode 6y agowhoah. that is kind of a big one, I agree.
- kop316 6y agoUnfortunately, the issue with MMS is it is very country specific. With some of the other big ticket items, since it is universal, you have a lot of people working on it. MMS seems to be a big issue in the USA and France (and maybe couple of others? I have just noted those two so far). On top of it, it is a very complex issue. I spend as much time getting it to work as I do to try to fight misconceptions about it to try and motivate folks to want to help. Thankfully now it is more of an integration issue than it is a "does it even function" issue. But the integration issue is not trivial either.
- miguelrochefort 6y agoWhat do you use MMS for? I've never sent or received an MMS in my life.
- kop316 6y agoIt's very country specific. I know USA and France, this is a big thing.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoThe main use is for group conversations with family and friends. A close followup is for sending/receiving photos and videos from people who don't have an RCS capable device (or if it is RCS capable it doesn't play nicely with Tmobile)
- lmm 6y agoI nearly wasn't able to change my phone number with Google because they send you an authentication code by MMS. (Why they feel the need to use MMS rather than SMS for a 6-digit code I couldn't possibly imagine). Not used it for over a decade aside from that - in the dim and distant past it used to be the only way to send pictures, but they were so expensive most people never bothered.
