I didn’t make a mega thread for this launch. I didn’t relize it was happening my bad.
Here are some notes:
Software:
running nothing os 3.1 and android 15
Nothing said the 3a series will get 3 years of os updates and 6 years of security updates.
Essential Space AI notes app? Mishaal will share his thoughts on Android Authority in the next few days.

The only thing I love more than cloud-backed note-taking crapware is when it has a dedicated hardware key. I hope they haven’t gone full Bixby and it can be remapped without jumping through hoops.
I’m pretty sure it’s on device?
I like your optimism, but: “A double-click opens the Essential Space. This is where all the little snippets you record during the day end up, and the AI uses them to create reminders, recommendations and the like. Essential requires an internet connection. According to Nothing, the data remains within the EU on a server in Paris.” Here.
