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.

6.77 inches of screen. That’s a no from me dawg
The storage options are disappointing. How hard can it be to make a 512gb if not a higher storage model. Maybe, if there was a way to expand the limited fixed internal storage of a smart phone…
They look decent although 3 years is not a lot. 4 would be fine.
Yeah, there are 6 years of security updates, so it’s less of an issue imo.
I think they can also be easily unlocked. Right?
yeah, they are still one of few companies that make it possible and easy. source: https://github.com/melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame
Maybe? I don’t follow nothing that much.
Its a lot more than most Android OEMs outside of Google and Samsung. And for a device that (as far as I can tell) doesn’t have a lot of other compromises? It’s not too terrible.
I’m not personally interested because of the lack of headphone jack, but I have always thought their marketing was going to have an up hill battle because of the name and I saw this quote in the article “Nothing is made better by its community” and it made me laugh.
Reckon it would support Linux?
The only Android OEM that ik gives Linux Kernal software is Sony.
