So, I’ve been on the verge of purchasing the Phone 3A pro for a little while now. Everything about it looks great, and I don’t really need flagship level power for most of what I do.

however, this essential space stuff is really annoying. Can Nothing stop playing games with their existing and potential customers, and add the remapping functionality already? I won’t purchase the phone until this happens, why the hell would I want a device with an accidental click button that links to a service with limited processing/subscription? Not to mention, why go through all this effort to design a highly customisable OS if you can’t remap the one quick assess button on the device?

Most of this nonsense over essential space could’ve been avoided if Nothing had made remapping available from the start.

I haven’t tried this myself. I have bought a 3a, at first I was put off by ES, and I still don’t think I will use it, but I really like the phone overall. I’m hoping for an official remapping option, that creates an iPhone like action button.

I hope the best is to come for this Space button. If he could allow us to connect to a real private space helped by an agent
