CamoGeko-XDA, 31 Jul 2024You're either a liar or you have a defective unit. If ... moreWasn't problematic at beginning, degraded quickly.
Screen flicker and going black started few months after.
I've tried to work with their support, no will to help, same with oneplus in the past, accepted the fact when I buy such devices, I should expect the level of tech support with little footprint they have in the industry.
Unlike Asus and iPhone(not a fan whatsoever), both supported much better than any other in my experience.

IQ200, 06 Aug 2024I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. All these tro... moreDue to nature of my old job, my phone was always in my hand, my screen was the highest battery user.
6000-7000 min voice talk, 8k+ text monthly according to my ATT usage report, frequent video calls or Google meets, large portion of my daily emails answered through the phone, so yes heavy use.
I did something about it, changed it, not your typical user, I have to change my phone every 12 months max due to my level of usage or at least use to, my new job is much less demanding so hoping my new phone last me more than a year.
Not saying phone quit on me, but in order to restore original performance needed to factory reset and start over which I couldn't afford due to interruption it causes and would only transition when the new phone was 100% ready with all accounts and apps.
Not seeking ANYONE'S validation, just sharing my experience so if you commit to a $600-$700 device, you know what to expect.
Phones go through excessive abuse under my usage and if it last, I can recommend it, more like life long torture test and have switched more phones than most typical users as I love Technology hence my job and need to stay relevant.

Tips for this phone :-
1) Always reset ur phone after major updates.
2) Android is open source OS.. allows user to install third-party apps ..So Dont install bunch of apps .. ur not child .. uninstall junk apps timely.. every phone will lag if u throw junk files n apps into it .. its ur fault u dont know how to use it
3) Dont overcharge ur phone for longer time .. i always discharge my phone on 99%

This is perfect balanced phone with well optimised software. They are pushing timely updates . Also the chipset and other features are good at this price range ..M using this phone from past 8 months ..
I am developing roms from more than 15 years ... I flashed more than 300+ roms on different Androids. I wont use stock software for longer time ..but this phone forced me to use his stock rom for longer time .. I havent seen a perfect stable stock rom like this so far .. Also on telegram there are more than 50+ custom roms are available with proper guides for this phone ... so u can use if u got bored on stock rom ... Lots of development is ther
Ignore the negative comments and go for it...!!!

I haven't had any major or really minor issues with the phone. The Speakers could be better but oh well. The question I have is about parts I have not been able to get a replacement back glass. I have emailed and tweeted with little to no reponse other than return the phone were you purchased for a new one. I didn't even have the option to buy from Nothing or request for them to fix and I pay for repair...Are there no extra parts.

Poor touch feedback. Limited set ups. Some of the basic set ups like silent and vibration mode is painful. The speakers are subpar.
Even after providing feedback in the issues in details l, the response is poor, in fact there is no response.
There are hiccups and non-responsiveness for many apps as well.
The in-hand feel is cheap, yes I use ip15, OP11 and galaxy S23. Np2 feels the cheapest. I even own NP1, NP1 definitely feel more premium while I hold it.
Apart from the skin, the phone absolutely sucks.

Steer away from this phone. Got this from nov 14 2023 and from writing this review, september 19 2024 all i can say, this is a pretty crappy gimik phone. Why?
- fails in alerting calls, silents randomly or the feature flip phone to silent keeps your phone silent even if its face up. Its not intuitive
- battery issues though solved from updates, still persisted
- expect this will be on abandonware next year. They already abandoned np 1 from company portfolio or website

Ive had the phone for an year now, in that time, it has performed better than my 15 promax. the battery, ram, refresh rate is so much better. apart from a few times, where the phone would just show android processing error. it performed perfect

Been using this device for a year now. I work all over andnuse different cars and never had an issue with Bluetooth via the car. But some vehicles you may have to update the vehicles BT software or media software and you should be good to go.
I personally dont use the Glyph light's as it's a gimmick, but a very robust and decent phone..
While it camera system is ok it's far from perfect. Ive used budget phone's which take much better photos then the NP2. Nothing Tech needs to concentrate on an overall improvement on th e camera photo quality.

The build quality of phone 2 is awesome.The processor is also very good....However there are lots of software issues with this phone.For example music connectivity with car stereo(bluetooth). The back camera is awesome.... However software bugs come in Between....Also some 3rd party apps dont work well with this phone. Even though the company tries to fix these bugs via updates,they still persist. New bugs keep popping up. Had to sell my phone as i was not satisfied with this. Wont recommend Nothing brand for this price segment.

The price is ridiculously stubborn and won't come down. Maybe that's why they brought out the 2a plus because it's a way of propping up the 2's price given that they sell the 3 next year now. Given that the S23 is near the same price or cheaper their sales are going to start to get trashed by last year's flagships soon.

Anonymous, 25 Jul 2024Flagship would have SD 8 Gen 3 not 8+ Gen 1.So that means the cost of the mobile will be higher and as Nothing is a new Company not everyone will buy it. So first think, see and then comment.

Mr. H, 12 Jul 2024Owned this phone for 8 months, let me tell you it's my... moreI'm sorry, but I don't believe you. All these troubles and you still had it for 8 months. No way. Why didn't you do something about it?
I have Nothing Phone 2 and it's fine. Or to be frank, my wife has it. It's not the best phone out there but it's not even close as bad as you trying to potray it.
You charging 3 times per day? We have at our home an old and used iPhone 11 which we all llike to use as a home tablet and that guy is old and it was used as a phone a few years ago. And you are telling me you charge you NEW Nothing Phone (2) for 3 times per day? What are you saying? If I ever have to charge my phone even 2 times per day it means it's time for another phone, so why did you stick with it?
It just doesn't make any sense. Who would put up this type of malfunction every day for 8 months on the product?? Noone!
As I already said, I don't believe that story you trying so hard everyone to hear. Every your comment here is about this brand and how scammy it is and you buy only one product of them which you describing in the most hatefull and simply untrue manner that it's beyond me how some people can have so unfufilled lives that they have to make up stories. Unbelivable.
Have you tried to see on the forum do others have similar issues like you? So? What's the result for the issues you are mentioning? Nada. Zero. Zipp. NOtHING. So what's the deal with that? You think Nothing the brand shuts people opinions and censure every negative comment about their products? What are the odds for that?
Your Phone 2 has some serious issues and needs to go back to manufactor, not even service, but directly to manufactor as that what you describe is just mental for anyone experiencing it no matter what brand they choose.
This type of problems occures on phones which are ordered for another market but illegally imported in other countries with price cuts and some other small defferences in firmware and sometimes even frequentzy bands for 3G, 4G and 5G connections. Maybe you wanted to buy as cheap as possible and you ordered a phone which is not meant for sale in your region and now you bleme the brand because you wanted to get the phone for as cheap as possible.. I really don't know but not a single thing you said doesn't make any sense, not just for Nothing brand but any brand. Noone would put all that crap for 8 months and do NoThInG about it. So there you go. I simly don't believe in all those stories.
Have a great and fullfiled day!

Anonymous, 25 Jul 2024Flagship would have SD 8 Gen 3 not 8+ Gen 1.Look at the release date on this phone.
There was no Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 yet.
For example. Look at the Nokia offerings and tell us which one is their flagship.
Their flagships are coming with Snapdragon 6 or 7 at best and of course these are not a flagship chip, but in their offerings that's their flagship.
Are we on the same page or need some more clarification?
Many people here already described what is the literal meaning behind the word "flagship". It's a top product of the line. So which phone from Nothing beats the Phone (2)? Meaning?
This is their flagship.
The same as this is the flagship of Nothing.
