I was hoping for the Nothing Phone (3) but the price is just... Not it.

So I was looking at the Nothing Phone (3a) for a while but I thought I should wait for the (3) announcement. Like many I feel dramatically underwhelmed. I didn't want to pay flagship prices and I stand by that. But I've also never had a Nothing Phone. I've had a Poco Phone F1in the last, probably the best bang for buck phone I've ever seen. I had the OnePlus 2 before the Poco Phone and loved that too. I'm now not sure what to get, especially when I see the Poco F7 Ultra.

I don't really want a flagship unless it's absolutely worth it.

I currently have a Samsung Z Fold 3 because I wanted a genuinely different experience, and whilst I do like it, I'm a bit tired of having a brick in my wallet and don't want to spend £1500+ on a phone again. I'll wait for some really big changes before I do it again.

I'm on the fence between the F7 Ultra and the (3a) but maybe I'm being short sighted, does the Nothing OS add that much value? I kinda think so but still not sure.

Ultimately I just don't know where to land with Androida nowadays and the humongous ranges really don't help.
