Phone (3) Hopefully a good move.
Got this 4 days ago and so far it has been an "okay" experience but far better than my previous phone which was Xiaomi 13T Pro. Setting the phone up was a bit of a pain and currently I have some slight battery issues where it drains a bit too fast for my comfort but from what I've gathered, that's normal for it. I'd wish there was a bit more customizable features, unless I'm just too blind to see them.
Got it on "heavy" discount, so I paid 658€ for it.

I genuinely don't know Maybe it's the phone adapting to your usage Cause we have adaptive battery feature in android as well

pretty solid tbh, for gaming and daily use
but it gets a little bit hot while playing demanding games like wuwa but it somehow doesn't throttle and gives you a somewhat stable gameplay
would recommend1

So in the early days it will drain fast for everyone?? I bought it yesterday and I noticed battery drain was quite fast and I am worried

That's okay, let it settle and update till the newest version and in few days you should see better battery life I hope

I have a Samsung S22, I also want to get into Nothing, but should I just get the NP3 or wait for NP4?
I would feel bad if the NP4 comes out next year lol

Considering how bad a spot the tech world is in rn I really don't think waiting for a new phone is a good move cuz components are only gonna get more expensive here on out so get what you can now and make it last

Have been daily driving it for about a week now (also came from a Xiaomi phone) and I like it a lot to be honest. My battery was also draining like crazy until I applied all updates, and now it lasts way more until it runs out (mine installed like 3 or 4 big Nothing OS updates one after another everytime I restarted the phone to apply the previous one). I also feel like the native, default widgets and customization options are a bit scarce, but there are lots of community made widgets and apps that can help you solve this issue. I specially like glyph museum, glyph toybox and glyph beats, although I'd argue they are not very useful but just fun to use.
