…and just so it’s perfectly clear: I am VERY happy with Nothing OS and the 2a. Like, happy enough that my next phone will likely be a Nothing phone as well. It’s been the best out-of-box user experience I’ve ever had with a phone

I’m writing this on a 2a and the only thing ‘missing’ for me is an SD card slot but I’m told that’s out of fashion these days anyway
It does Mastodon and Pixelfed but not Lemmy as far as I’m aware
I want something that combines my Lemmy, Mastodon, and Pixelfed into one app/feed. Has anyone made that yet?
I don’t get it. I’ve had two Garmin watches and they both received regular updates and occasionally new features trickle down to the older models (where possible).
Both games are by Tom Francis. His new game Tactical Breach Wizards is ‘coming soon’ as well
+1 for Musicolet, it’s fantastic.
I don’t use a lot of apps I’m overly impressed with but FamilyAlbum is great if you have kids, want to share photos with family, and don’t want to plaster them all over social media. You put you photos on there and give family access. No more Grandma begging for more pictures. Its not perfect. They try to get you to buy prints a lot, but otherwise a very good idea executed simply enough that the elderly can access it.
Best $15 I’ve spent in awhile. It’s like Battlefield and Squad mixed together, but a lot more fun and a lot less serious.
Couldn’t recommend enough
I once ate a whole kiwi in front of my wife. That’s the closest we ever came to getting a divorce.

Primarily I just think the difference is overall good design between the OS and the phone itself. There are a lot of little thoughtful details that improve the experience.
The ‘glyph’ lights are a good example. When I was researching the phone I thought they were just a gimmick. Like sure they’re neat and all but I didn’t really see much value added. However, in practice you start realizing how valuable they are.
The notifications lights can be customized so important ones turn on a light until the phone is checked. This makes ignoring your phone so much easier. The Glyph Timer is really useful, especially if you need a silent timer. There’s also a Glyph flashlight. This seems redundant at first because there’s already an LED flashlight on the back of the phone, like every other phone. However, the Glyph flashlight is much softer which is perfect for navigating a dark room where someone is sleeping.
People will point out that most of Nothing’s features can be replicated in some capacity on any Android phone. This is absolutely true, but I think they’re discounting how thoughtfully these details are implemented by Nothing on their phones.
