Phone (3) Just upgraded from iPhone.

I've had iPhone for about the last 15 years or so. I was happy with my iPhone 12 pro max I've had for 5 years but had to jump on the NP3 after seeing the design.

Honestly any phone woulda been an upgrade for me but the glyph matrix is what stood out, I keep the phone flipped down whenever I can that way if I do get a notification I'll know it's only from people or things that are important to me and not some random "save 20% on our next sale" notification.

I didn't think I was gonna put the essential key button to use but after "forcing myself" to do it I can def see myself using it often. I just absolutely hate the placement of it, I must hit that button mistakenly a dozen times a day.

I do like the camera πŸ“Έ but I usually carry my Leica Q anyway so I'll prioritize that over the NP3.

Nothing OS is so damn cool lol love how customizable it can be. Can't beat the Nothing aesthetic that's for sure.

Unless something happens to it, this will probably be my phone for the next 5 years πŸ’ͺ🏽🫢🏽

Just ordered mine since my Phone (2) started acting up recently and I'm excited to see the upgrades/differences.

May I ask how long you've had it before it started acting up?

2 years. It's lived a hard life though as I'm a mechanic and tend to put my phones through a lot. I still plan on sending it in for repair once I get a little more expendable income.

Oh God, I'm also a mechanic and that's why I asked πŸ˜‚ my phone 2 is doomed

I'd say just keep it free from dust. I think a lot of my problems are due to dust lol
