Gaaan, 28 Mar 2025Battery life is disaster for all smartphone, because it is ... moreYou may guess that manufacturers know this, and this is why battery technology hasn't progressed much, 6000 mah and still almost same battery life.

I've had Nothing Phone (1) 256GB + 12GB for 3 years now.
It is still working smoothly (occasional minor bugs here and there, but nothing that disrupts usage), and battery life is still decent to this day.
2 hours of use (~20min of gaming in somewhat high graphics, ~1.5h video-based SM) in 1 day used ~40% of the battery capacity, out of those 40%:
- 40% used by screen
- 40% used by CPU
- WiFi (shows as "39 min" for some reason) used 10%.
~1h of YouTube (1080p60fps) used ~30%
~20min of BPSR used ~17%
Unfortunately it lacks sufficient cooling for longer sessions of gaming with high graphics (it handled "BPSR" at medium graphics for about 15min before it started throttling).

Greetings from Turkiye.
This is the only cheap phone but is it worth it?
I have been using Samsung Galaxy M34 5G 6GB/128GB almost 2 years. It doesn't feel so smooth from the first day, I think OneUI made for the flagship I guess.
I bought Nothing Phone 1 8/128 for 10k ₺ (205€)
And I believe I can sell my M34 for 6-7k ₺ (123€-153€) so total cost will be 50-80 euros.
I'm considering is it really worth upgrade.
What I will earn or lose
Exynos 1280 vs SD 778G+ (in test, seems so much better it is like 50% faster on geekbench multicore)
6 vs 8 gb ram (+2 gb ram)
Amoled vs Oled (probably same display? Idk?)
Speaker (people complain about this but my m34 has mono speaker not stereo 😅
Idk what sensor m34 has but np1's camera is probably way better
Both have less usable screen (83-85% but np1 looks better from front because it is more balanced and symetric)
And m34 is plastic but np1 is aluminum frame and glass which is good. And this build difference is enough no need to talk about design more
So in most cases, there is a good trade
Only degrade is 6000mah to 4500mah but it won't be a problem if one charge is good enough for a day, also np1 says charging time is 70 min 0-100 but it is like 85 min in my phone so we could say a trade instead degrade maybe idk
I don't play mobile games but browsering

Had this as backup for years. Now its my main phone. Tried many different midrange phones but with the same outcome being slow or camera just trash. Now this phone is smooth as hell probably the smoothes Android I ever used beats even pixel 8a. Nothing OS is something else and the camera is way better then most midrange and fast. It's insane how this holds up so good. Only bad thing is if I need to change battery I need to do it myself. Because I can't find any repair store doing this for nothing phones.

Great phone. Got this for the second time and this time for 140 euros. Great performance, build, in hand feel, sound quality, decent cameras, good enough battery and a nice UI. Decent cameras and overall a good midrange phone for daily usage. Bought this during launch but quickly sold after but now on Android 15 and Nothing UI 3.0, this phone is worth it. So got one for a good deal. Planning to get another Nothing phone, maybe the CMF phone soon.

ive had this phone since November 2023, and it's still performing excellently. It runs smoothly with no lag or overheating. The original screen protector is still on, and the operating system has only improved with the recent upgrades. The battery life remains great easily lasting a full day or even a day and a half depending on usage. Honestly, I think we all end up charging our phones daily anyway.
I always keep my phone on mute, so the glyph interface is incredibly useful. The lights are very noticeable, which is great for catching notifications at a glance, especially when I'm at work or driving.
The camera is decent. While it's not on par with an iPhone, it gets the job done.
The 120Hz display makes a noticeable difference. I appreciate it, especially coming from a Xiaomi phone.
Reverse charging is a handy feature for those occasional situations, like charging my headphones or a friend's dead iPhone haha.
My only real complaint is the speakers. The bottom speaker is noticeably louder than the top, and the overall music quality isn't the best.
Overall, it's a great phone, and I'm really pleased with my decision to choose it over a Xiaomi or something else (no offense intended!).

Sunsetmoon, 28 Jan 2025The battery drain has gotten worse after each major update.... moreBattery life is disaster for all smartphone, because it is a consumable item. If battery life is not an issue, each year there won't be newer smartphone with more efficient chip and also bigger battery capacity.

from my experience after around 3 years of using this phone, i can say that this phone is a 2-3 years phone after which using it becomes a hassle, the main problem with this phone are the battery life which significantly with time and as the updates roll in, as well as the camera the pictures are still acceptable but the video is not good enough to use i feel, the occasional gltiches in the software are also present which did become better with the updates, but this i feel is tolerable.

phone still working ok at allCan you tell us more in detail about your experience in general?
I'm particularly interested in general performance, build quality and battery life (not much about cameras as long as they get the general job done).
