JP, 22 Jan 2023Not true. Battery is big concern, drains very fast.I'm connected to internet 24/7, with lots of texts and calls, an hour of music each day and lots of other things that I do it lasts more than a day. better than A52s that I had recently. plus I'd never try heat up in my phone

Ehi guys this nothing phone got so much better after latest android 13 update. Everything working as expected,the UI looks amazing and smooth. And the battery last far more than before as it is been announced by nothing for this update. Got 4 hours of screen on in 12 hours with 57% left with even 2 hours of whatapps calls. Face and fingerprint unlocks seem to work better here too

Rex785, 20 Jan 2023Hey
I just read what you wrote but i have a question.
Do ... moreHey! It really depends on what you prefer to have in a smartphone.
S21FE pros - faster SoC; probably a bit better, but smaller, screen (though the Phone 1's is also very good); telephoto camera; IP68 certification; better sound quality.
S21FE cons - because of the SD 888, it heats up a lot (my hands started sweating after 5 minutes of messing around with it in the store); the Android isn't clean - lots of bloatware and OneUI on top of it; the main and wide cameras are not as good as the Phone 1's; battery doesn't last as long; if your option for the S21FE is the 6GB RAM version - the base version of the Nothing Phone 1 has 8GB, so you'd be better off with it; S21FE is still quite stuttery, which I can't say for the Nothing Phone 1.
OneUI is of course a preference, if you prefer it over stock Android, go for it.
And besides the pros and cons above, the Phone 1 is just the more interesting phone, in my opinion. The Glyph interface is more of a gimmick, but it's really cool, nonetheless.
For me, the Nothing Phone is the better choice.

It's a great phone, with a few lacking elements. I'm coming from iPhone 11 Pro as I wanted to try something different, and I'm amazed how quick, responsive and pleasant to use the Phone (1) is. The camera is also better than the iPhones, however, it's missing a telephoto lens and that's very unfortunate. GCam improves it even further, to the point where it easily rivals the Pixels. The biggest negatives in my opinion are the uneven stereo speaker balancing and the lack of proper IP67/68 certification. There is IP53 though, and the build quality is excellent, the buttons feel amazing, the display is gourgeous, the camera cutout is in the best place - in the corner, wireless charging is nice to have, and to say again - the phone is incredibly fast. My iPhone 11 Pro feels stuttery now, though I know it's not, it's just the 60hz refresh rate. The glyph interface is quite beautiful, and it could be useful in lighting a scene while shooting photos or video. Not sure about how practical it is in terms of notifications, as if you're looking at it, then you can't see the screen and also interact with the phone. The LEDs will, however, help you locate your phone in a dark room, as they can get very bright (brightness is adjustable in the settings menu).
Before the iPhone I had a Motorola Z Play, which I last used with Android 10, I believe, and the difference in UX between now and then is night and day. The episodes of insufferable stutteriness that I remember from 3.5 years ago are nowhere to be seen when using the Phone (1). There is the occassional hiccup in an animation, but nothing major.
Overall, I'm very happy with the Nothing phone (and it's absolutely gorgeous in white), and I can see myself using it long-term. The iPhone is definitely the more premium device, but with this comes the hefty price tag. And despite the massive difference in price, the Nothing phone holds its own and even has quite a few advantages.
Lastly, I want to say that I went through a vigorous research process before I decided on the Nothing phone 1. I looked into and went to see personally, the S21FE, Moto Edge 30 Neo and Fusion, Pixel 6a/6, Nokia X30, but among all, I liked the Nothing Phone the best. If I could have a second one from the aforementioned, for free, I'd go for the Pixel 6. The Pixel 6a comes very, very close, but the 60hz screen is a dealbreaker for me, in this day and age.
And there you go, if you're looking for a phone in this price class, I'd say go for the Nothing Phone 1 or Pixel 6/6a.
I'd be happy if you've read through everything and enjoyed it. :)

AJ, 18 Jan 2023I'm stuck on OP7Pro, don't know where to upgrade,... moreIt depends on what space you mean. Like I said before there are maybe better phones with the same price but for me the build quality, unique and flow UI and Its one of a kind design will do the work. Plus it's strong enough to handle everything you ask for.

Have been using the Nothing Phone (1) for 10 days now. Solid all rounder! Finally found a successor for my OnePlus8 phone which ive been using for 2.5 years. Loving that stock android bloatware free experience. Camera is quite solid too even in low light! Can't wait for the Nothing OS 1.5 Android 13 update!
