End of an era, f in the chat everybody

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?

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

Replaced by nothing? That's terrible.

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

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

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.

And instead they're being replaced by a company that adds ads to their shit. End of an era indeed.

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.

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.

I've never really seen Nothing as a replacement to what OnePlus was. They feel like a phone that tries to push for catchiness and customization within what is provided.

The Pixel feels like more of a replacement with stock Android and the variety of customs Roms that run on their devices.
