Unless you are an elite mobile gamer, you don't need a flagship phone.

Even midrange will cover everyone's needs.

Flagships are nothing but marketing bullshit.

Iโ€™ve had some midrange phones for a few days. Theyโ€™re fine until I take photo and show it on a display thatโ€™s larger than a phone screen.

I mean, if showing pictures from your phone on a big screen is something you do so often that your phone absolutely has to do that and do it flawlessly, then yeah, I guess a midrange phone is not for you. But that's such a specific requirement, I can't exactly blame a company like Fairphone for not catering to those needs.

So you want one with a top-ish-of-the-line camera

Yes, I would prefer a midrange phone with a flagship camera over a flagship phone with a midrange camera.
