Any hot-takes on Nothing phone vs Pixel 6a?
4 months back on iPhone and not enthused... Was very happy with my Pixel 4 until the Android 13 upgrade and like the idea of Nothing's policy to not release new OS until they've been stripped down and optimised but on the fence otherwise.
- It's a mid range phone with a bunch of lights slapped on with minimal additional functionality, and who seriously leaves their phone face down all the time?kalkal
- Also just an excuse not to update the OS as regularlykalkal
- tbh, i've not even evaluated the hardware or lights. i'm just so sick of getting fucked by OS upgrades and everything running proprietary cloud services...kingsteven
- i require a smartphone or i would get a burner so hardware not a big deal. i know folks loved OnePlus for the ethos... this seems like the continuation?kingsteven
- I like the Nothing phone. It's very inexpensive and just different enough. High-end phones just don't do anything different/better for 3x the price.formed
- unfortunately (after hours of reading reviews) it seems like nothing is not quite there yet. a lot of potential though.kingsteven
- just noticed the pixel 6a on sale (50 quid less than the nothing phone) as kalkal mentioned nearly double the processor speed. think i'll jump on that :-skingsteven
