Is there any non google or apple phone projection functionality for cars? Or contactless payment platform?

These a big barriers, I did want the the nothing phone but the reviews were a bit off.

I was unsure, I thought maybe they were bought.

It's so sad they didn't cought up with the smartphone development, their out-of-the-box thinking and daring designs is what we miss in the current market. They used to be the market leaders.

Now it's all glass planks with a bunch of cameras, biggest difference is the amount of bloatware pre-installed and the amount of AI slop integration.

We need the Nokia vision back!

Way beyond what I would consider spending on a phone. Is there anything more like ยฃ50? Or tablet tbh, can use a free phone with PAYG so it only does calls/SMS, then use a tablet instead.

Think I am better off looking for second hand stuff tbh. Currently using some fire tablet I got for ยฃ15. It's a little slow at times and often runs out of memory so maybe doubling the RAM would be worth it if it isn't too pricey.

I didn't realise it was European, but I bought a Nothing mainly because it was one of the few options with an unlockable bootloader. I'm going stock this time, but at least I'll have the option to unlock it if I change my mind later.
