Nothing Phone (3) will have 7 years of software support

Read that as five years of major OS updates and seven years of security patches.

Isn't that the bare minimum mandated by the EU?
- Correct
Wait is that some fancy flashlight hardware in the pic or just dumb marketing shit?
- Yes.
  
  I had a Phone (2a), I actually liked it for what it is. It's a gimmick, but a useful one in my life. I switched because of my own irresponsibility. I.e. I used it in environments it wasn't meant to be in.
How good are their devices? My Pixel 4 is still working, but its definitely showing it's age.
- In fact I decided to make my first post on Lemmy about it.

- I use Nothing Phone 1, and I will never change it to something else.
  Maybe will consider to buy Nothing Phonbe 3 eventually.
  They have clean design philosophy, but in order to fully embrace it you have to install their monochrome icon pack. And this is the only android UI which is pleasant to look it, and not some flashy multicolored abomination as other platforms do.
  Not having flashy multicolored icons means a lot for the mental wellbeing.
- I have the Phone 2 in the US and I love it. Keeping it for a while longer and intrigued by the phone 3 for sure.
Still running shitty android. Pass.
- And what is your proposal they run? iOS is Apple only; Linux phones are still in their infancy and away from mass adoption. And before you mention Graphene or Lineage OS, both are just forks of Android.
