I can only concur, only thing that is a bit subpar is the camera. I hope there will be an updated camera module, like there was for an earlier model (fp4 i think).
Btw, after i changed the original OS to eOS i am now getting even better battery life!
What helped a lot for me with the camera was installing one of the unofficial GCam ports (BSG). Using that, it takes quite decent photos (with the regular lens, ultrawide is still pretty bad). Only problem is that the live camera view is oddly laggy, both on GCam and the built-in app. Hopefully that can be fixed with a software update at some point.
Thanks for the tip!
