advice on which device to buy

like if i want to buy something , shouldn't i be able to buy it from any country ?
You can in a certain way (if seler allow it), but fees are in this case, depending where you live, expensives.
For instance i live in Europe, and if i select offers from US, it can cost from 30 to 50€ fees, and even more...

but i heard that ubuntu touch has problems with camera and taking photos and videos .
It depends on the device and the port maturity.
On my MX4 photo and video works quite well.
Only issue lately since i switched from canonical to ubports UT is with HDR activated on photos, wich can lead to camera app loosing access to camera hardware, have to reboot to solve, so i only activate HDR from time to time. -

I don't know about that.

i can't use a phone with a bad camera at all
There's another camera module for the FP2 that UT works with the torch/flash. The camera seems decent besides the lack of flash for me.

@opolork
There is also FP3/+ that will have less camera concerns and wich will be longer supported (i guess, it already has a Halium 10 port thanks to @Luksus ) and more powerfull.

@keneda Nice! So all features are now working on the FP3 with Halium?

@opolork
Well, almost all if i refer to device pages and from what i red in here.
You can find used FP3 for less than 150€. -
@keneda The FP3 will likely be my next phone. Not sure when though.

Thanks to everyone for the advice . after thinking a lot i bought a redmi 9c because i didn't have any other options and because it is extremely cheap - like it was just 160 dollars - and i will also buy another phone with a better camera later . even though the redmi 9c has a not really good camera it has a good battery and the storage is good so maybe it is the best option for me . i will have to wait before i install ubuntu touch because the port is not very good and i am busy those 2 weeks - i am always busy - and i might even try to improve the port when i can . so i will see if it was a good option or not , and i hope it is not a bad option .
thanks again for everything ! -
