Hi, I’m a Apple Fanboy since first iPhone came out and I always use an iPhone along with other Apple ecosystem devices for long time. Last week, I just bought Nothing Phone 2a and the same reason that I bored an iOS and want to try new Nothing OS.
In my opinion, I think you may use my opinion for your decision.
Pro : Nothing OS is great UI dark or white theme but you can change it back to normal app icon as same as with Pixel.
- Animation while open, close, switch application are smooth. (But not like an iOS)
- Weight is lighter than iPhone 15 Pro even the screen is bigger than my iPhone 15 Pro.
- Notifications are fast as same as with iOS.
- Animation look more flashy and faster than iOS (where iOS appear slower but smoother).
- Transparent back of the phone which people may ask you what is your phone band? 😁
- Battery life is longer than iPhone 15 pro.
- Large Vapor Chamber cooling system no random heat up like iPhone.
Con : some applications do not smooth as iOS such as Instagram, (when open camera or browse photos from gallery)
- Some third party apps may not running smooth as iOS. (Where iOS almost smooth every apps include open , close , switch between apps)
- Major Android update only for 3 years and security patch update for 4 years.
- Keyboard is difficult to type sometime, but if you used to it. you will type fast as fast with iOS.
- Overall of animation, I think iOS is greater and smoother than Nothing OS. (Nothing 9/10 , iOS 10/10)
- No transparent screen while pull down the notification center or lock screen (I like the notification of iOS and I think iOS is more beautiful. Android is solid colour.
- No stock gallery app on Nothing OS. But you willve able to use Google gallery instead. Not smooth sometime 😅.
