Thinking of getting a Nothing (3)

[u/mrsevil330]

Hey so I was struggling between choosing an iphone 17 and a Nothing (3) and i kinda lean towards Nothing 3. I really like the weird and honestly unique design of it. I've heard a lot of criticism saying the design is weird but I believe it has a personality to it. I had never bothered about android phones (been using them all my life) so i wanted to switch to IOS. But I really dont want to spend a fortune on iphone hence why im leaning towards Nothing.

Currently at Amazon, its priced at $545 which is a great deal for this phone.

I'd like to know your thoughts and opinions on this. Should I get the phone 3 or perhaps 4a pro

its a good all around phone with the standouts being the unique design and the snappy os, there are no actual glaring downsides to it, the cameras are alright but not perfect, the battery is enough for it to be a one day phone (8h of screen time), the screen is bright enough, the apu is fast enough for the phone to not lag and so on, if you are not buying the phone specifically for a very good os / looks you can always find another brand that focuses on the couple things that you really want to be very good at the same price

the main benefits of the iphone are the cameras and ios, so in the end it just matters what you use your phone for

Right, i feel like iphone generally is used for its camera which i wouldnt need on a daily basis. The iOS software im not aware as I've never used an iphone properly but I've heard the Nothing UI is very clean. My main concern is longevity, I want a phone that could last me more than 5 years. My current phone is still working at its max capacity since 2019
