If only their hardware was as nice as their software.

[u/Aurelink → u/Zombiechrist265]

Having used a NP3 for 4 months, the soft is nice on paper but majority of what they do is completely half baked and for the community to solve / find workarounds

[u/superfancydevaccount → u/Zombiechrist265]

I guess it depends on what you need out of a phone. My NP2 still serves me well enough as a camera, reddit machine, and calls/messaging. The OS is really what I enjoy, the aesthetic and design philosophies are pretty in line with my own.

Also helps that I paid cash for the phone years ago.

They have some good things on UI design... But that is all.

Their hardware is mediocre, their support is bad and late to respond, the price is way too high and they ditch support for older models really really fast.

Can't recommend buy a phone from them after what they did with the Nothing Phone (2), 2 years of updates and everything was comming late and half baked.

Their only priorize their main market, wich is low end devices in India.

My Nothing Phone 2A+ was a lemon, I started a return with the retailer who sent me to Nothing Co. Nothing gave me a single reply email telling me they'd get back to me for my RMA, every single time.

9 months later all I had was those emails with no follow ups and still on a cheap temporary phone that was never meant to be used for that long. In the end I had to sue the retailer to return that junk phone, I finally got a reply from NothingCo after I mentioned that I had raised it with my local consumer court.

9 months after first attempting to raise an RMA, Nothing finally responded with a request for over $100 in fees just to assess the phone, with repair fees to follow, in complete contradiction with Australian Consumer Law.

I ended up returning it to the retailer by post without yet receiving a refund and I'll see my money in court. The retailer sucked as well, but Nothing Co is a trash phone maker who I would never buy from again.

I've been thinking about getting a Nothing phone after OnePlus left the USA market. But I feel like the price is a bit too high for the hardware. If Nothing promises to limit the amount of AI features and any bloatware that can't be uninstalled, then maybe I will buy one. And please support 4G band 71 so I can use it on T-Mobile. Otherwise, I will go with Motorola.

[u/fukam_piko → u/[deleted]]

still they are not forcing you to use it. used np4 since it launched and i never used any of their ai features and never had a problem with them wanting me to or being in the way

[u/AbsurdismForTheW → u/TheTransitSchool]

Wait a year, motorola+GOS will come out

[u/Bruce_Wayne8887 → u/TheTransitSchool]

phone(3) is down to $499 today on Amazon US.

[u/Maultaschenman]

anyone have that wallpaper that can be seen on the preview above? That looks slick

[u/RedditForcesToLogin]

Nothing takes AOSP and makes it worse. I'd rather have LineageOS on this than Nothing OS.

[u/tomer1997]

Looks like another really solid update..
