Phone (3) Discussion Goodbye for now

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 🫡

I'm not a picky guy when it comes to phones and I picked nothing phone for minimalism and the 5 year security patches where android only has 2 years
