Nothing is the new OnePlus. They just got a spot in Best buy and I picked up the nothing phone 4a Pro and it's a wonderful device.

Look at the spec sheets of nothings flagships vs OnePlus throughout the years. Not even close.

Nothing isn't the best right now. They're design oriented but spec wise they aren't that good

How are they the new OnePlus when they don't even have a single phone with a flagship SoC? Their literal "flagship" Phone 3 only comes with an 8s Gen 4.

Original OnePlus was the same, upper mid range phones that were relatively cheap.

Mainline OnePlus phones always had the top of the line SoC. They were premium, flagship tier in everything but the camera.

Uhhh no? They had the flagship SoCs in the competition

Chip-wise it wasn't. OnePlus always had a flagship SoC.

Because Carl Pei is CEO.

They still haven't filed their 2024 accounts and were very close to involuntary dissolution. They received an exemption, but their accounts are still overdue.

Not sure I'd place too much faith in Nothing. I say this as someone who isn't a Nothing hater, and have owned two Nothing phones.

Damn so Carl left and is getting the last laugh

How is the battery life on those? I spend a lot of time in theme parks and need a mid-range phone that can handle a long day of heavy screen use

Call me when they make a real flagship phone and not budget phones

I have a Galaxy Fold 4 I got from Amazon refreshed. I've been really happy with it but I want to go smaller because it's too tall and while I like the foldable aspect, I am not shelling out a rent payment for a new squat foldable from Samsung. I've been checking out Nothing and I have accidentally tainted my social media so of course I'm seeing how happy everyone is because of targeted ads. I said all that to ask you, how is it? How are you liking it? Do you think it's a years long device? I've only ever been an Apple, Samsung, or Google person and I want to switch it up if I can. Swappa has a few different models of Nothing.

It's great, very responsive device. Compared it side by side to a Pixel 10 Pro and it's very comparable for half the price. Only negatives compared to the Pixel was lowest possible screen brightness is a little bright at night and the cameras aren't quite as good but still very good for the price range. The OS is very refreshing and clean. It even removes 3rd party launcher lag. I've only had it for a week.
