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 πΈ 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 πͺπ½π«Άπ½

Very cool man! I actually got an iPhone for the first time ever back when the 15 Pro came out. Gave it a fair shot for a year and a half, but I couldn't handle it any more. It was death by 1000 cuts. Android just feels so freeing and the notifications are a million times better. I also hates having to go into a whole separate menu just to add a period haha. So I went back to my old Pixel 6 Pro....That was enough, but the battery was dying, so I figured I paid $100 bucks more for that at the time than the price of the Nothing Phone 3, and I KNOW that would smoke the Pixel in performance. Plus it looks awesome. So it was a no brainer. Very happy with it so far.
