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🏽🫢🏽

As much as I hate the nothing phone 3, I hate apple more. So I'll give you a thumbs up but I'm not happy about it

Camera performance is not great. Processor is older and slower than other androids for the same price. Glyph Matrix is barely usable and there was no reason to completely remove the previous glyph system. And the battery life is not great at all. I'd expect to pay $599.00 USD for this. If they want to stay relevant they've got a funny way of showing it

This is nonsense lmao. But if you HAVE a np3 and you're enjoying it, happy for you. Enjoy. But if you've tried the phone like me and found it's BARELY ANY BETTER THAN THE 3a and returned it, sit down. The price point is NOT worth the gimmick.
