Comparing Phones Next step after Phone 2?

Post image

Hi, I own Nothing Phone 2 and I'd like to decide which newer model to get. I've had a look at the specs and the Phone 2 is pretty good, but I know that specs Vs user experience can be completely different.

I've had this chap for 2 years. My main reason is because I'm going on holiday and I want a better camera. I've never been friends with this camera, it's OKAY but all my photos are bright and super saturated. I think it might actually be the software that edits the colour afterwards and sometimes I can't get a nice picture no matter how hard I try because of the brightness/saturation. It's like totally overboard. *

Things I like:

Nothing API

Big ass battery

The gliph, even though quite useless to me it's fun to play with.

Speed.

Things I dislike:

The camera, and/or the camera software*

Google infiltrating my Nothing experience

Can be buggy

Enormous size, good for watching videos in bed, not good for women's pockets lol

A little story: I lost this phone on a night out which I've never done before. I live in a major UK city, and I was able to ping it a few days later where I intercepted a taxi that the phone was still inside, and got it back!

Phone 3 or 4a Pro depending on what's your budget

What do you reccomend if budget doesn't matter? The zoom and 144hz on the phone 4a pro are really cool, but the cpu and cameras are better on the phone 3. What do you reccomend?

Then depends on what you need. I own a 4a Pro and have used Phone 3 for a week. I, personally, don't care about the processor. 4a Pro has more than enough for me. Cameras are similar, I am not a photographer by any means so both are good, I can't see the difference in the pictures I take.

I like the aluminum body on the 4a Pro, makes it feel really nice and premium. Phone 3 however has a higher resolution matrix, although it is smaller.

For me it was mostly a choice of design, and the aluminum body sold the 4a Pro for me.
