They killed their niche when they started locking their bootliaders and started adding more bloat to their android flavor. Anyone who cares about that has moved on to the pixel or other phones.

Dang, switched from Motorola to OnePlus for my current phone and it looks like I'll have to switch again. Is Nothing phone the new hotness? I just want something with a good battery, a 9mm headphone jack and decent customizability

Do... do you mean a 3.5mm jack, or are you using your phone as a gun?

I'm gonna pretend that wasn't a brain fart and leave that up to your imagination

It's where you plug your gun in to power it.

You know,that hole is a little turbine. Just fire a blank cartridge in it to make it spin and charge the battery. There’s also a variant that supports a live round, but its efficiency is way lower and there’s a decent chance you’ll need a new phone afterwards…

9mm is the only metric a Texan needs in his life

I'm hoping the new Motorola graphene Collab will produce a phone thatchecks my boxes

I've had a Nothing Phone2 for about 2 years and still treating me well. The new 4aPro looks sick but I'm gonna go with something like a sidephone or Clicks Communicator next since this Phone2 is lasting fine still.

Replaced by nothing? That's terrible.

I hadn't heard of the Nothing phone before so this title definitely had me wondering if the N was capitalized on accident in the title.

I used to want to try a OnePlus. I bought two in a row from BestBuy that ended up not actually existing.
