there’s a lot of inconsistencies with Nothing, you don’t really notice at first but it’s hard to unsee

yeah that’s what I’m liking with Nothing. a lot of cool niche features that other androids can technically do via third party apps and other tinkering, are just baked into a stock Nothing phone

also the notification lights complimenting the OS’s color scheme to help with distractions is such a huge plus for people (me) who struggle with that

s21. My provider is Visible. they’re kinda known for having eSIM troubles. fairly commonly mentioned issue in the subreddit

I appreciate the input! compared to other androids you’ve owned, what stood out for you specifically?

I have an s21 now, and as much as I enjoy the oneUI-specific theming, I’ve learned to not rely on it too much. especially since the phones we’re given at work don’t have any of that lol

I mean, even with 256gb of storage, nothing isn’t that expensive compared to other mainstream brands

my cell provider struggled so much with my current phone’s eSIM activation that they opted to just send me a physical sim lol. i didn’t mind since I don’t travel much anyway

it’s just a personal preference for me if i can have it, and saves me the trouble down the line

I use Island for it now. I just thought it was a neat feature to have baked into the OS. Completely unnecessary for most people but saves me a bunch of clicks when customizing a new phone

installing better adblockers

or just updating uBlock lol. not sure what YouTubes team was expecting here

kind of - there’s the issue of a low framerate when scrolling

but it’s more the icons - like the distancing/placement of certain UI elements like the timestamp, vote buttons… maybe its just me at that point. I’m already used to Boost/Eternity. not easy to get myself used to a significantly different layout after that

Trying this, and on first glance, UI seems to be a bit clunky compared to Boost or Eternity. Would like to see an option to keep the bottom tab bar visible when scrolling, that would be nice

Changing the subscriptions/main feed sort order doesn’t apply sometimes until I close and reopen the app

Still has a lot of potential, nice seeing these new client apps being worked on for Lemmy!

You can get it if you’ve enabled the IzzyOnDroid repo

Obtainium. For all those cool apps you find on GitHub, GitLab, FDroid, Izzy, APKPure, and more. In some cases you can add your own links and it’ll try to scrape them for APKs for app updates
