Nothing phones suck. No spare parts available to buy and support sucks. I purchased a nothing phone and my camera cracked, that's when you realize the device cannot be serviced locally AT ALL. You will have to ship off the device OUT OF THE COUNTRY waiting months. I wanted to replace the camera myself but you just can't. I just gave up and bought a SOMETHING phone.
On top of that the features were gimmicky at best and poorly implemented. API for extra lights and stuff is severely lacking. I wasted a lot of time trying to customize this thing but it's not possible. Just a bunch of useless presets.
Now I'm stuck on this stupid Motorola now. It's okay but can't set a folder for wallpapers and there's no way to replace the wallpaper app. My next phone is going to be graphene based.
I am not defending Nothing in any way, but they do have easly unlockable bootloader at least, and not like most other phones where yoi need to go to their webaite for unlock code, or you can't do it at all.
Also apperently their headphone and earphones are good, but can't confirm first hand.
