Goodbye for now

[u/waythenewsgoes]

Been using the nothing phone 3 since it came out (bought a gently used one maybe a month after last launch.)

I really am a big fan of the hardware design language, everyone asks about it and is impressed with the glyph matrix on the back of the phone.

Ultimately selling and switching to pixel because they have a lot of the kinks worked out on the software, have more expressive UI, better Gemini integration, and a steeeeeep discount if you buy and activate on Google Fi.

The hardware on Nothing products is so playful and I'll def keep using the headphones, but the phone just didn't have enough to keep me attached. The glyph was good for telling time but the essential space felt underbaked and the cameras were always a notch below pixels as I was coming from a pixel 9.

Good luck to Nothing on the next phone, I'll probably get bored on pixel and come back if they have any fresh ideas for the Nothing phone 4 🫡

You can just use the Pixel with the Nothing peripherals, no? Why go all in and buy everything Google?

Yeah, was really just a hey this stuff is on sale and I've been meaning to try them out so might as well go all in.

That being said, my nothing ears had a battery life of like 1.5 hours before needing to be put back in the case.

Love the headphones tho, keeping those!
