If they had put a 7 gen 1 in there, you would probably complain that they used an overheating chipset. Anyway, too late, you bought the Phone 1.

Anonymous, 14 Jul 2023you think SD 8+ Gen1 will not over heat ?There isn't any chipset that won't overheat, but 8+ gen 1 doesn't overheat as often as Tensor G2.

why antutu scores quite low for the 8+gen1? even my hotter 8gen1 on poco f4 gt got almost 1 millions for the antutu v9 and almost 1.2 millions for the v10.
extra : for the antutu v10. antutu v10.0.1-OB1 and v10.0.2-OB2 has some bugs and problems that app not run properly, especially with android 13 phones. sometimes 3d gpu test not run. just updating into v10.0.3-OB3 or the latest v10.0.4-OB4 could solved this problems

Ivailo, 13 Jul 2023Cown down bro the price is gonna drop by 30-40% in 2 months.And in 4-5 months the 8 Gen 3 will be available in phones at that price point. 😂 Meanwhile you'll be stuck with an 8+ Gen 1.

Maybe of it had a headphone jack or micro sd card slot, but I would just go with the S23+
More water resistance
One UI
Similar price
Dex
Type C 3.2
Wifi 6e
Knox E fuse sucks though

"1x3.0 GHz Cortex-X2" (Designed 3.2ghz)
Same underclocking as the much cheaper Poco F5 Pro which just came out in May. Almost as if Qualcomm had a cheap batch that couldn't pass 3.2ghz during the binning/QC process. There's no logic butching the (biggest) single core performance like this.
I asked NF what cooling tech they had in the phone, they never got back to me. I suspect it's shait and throttles above the G1+ average, could also be the reason it's underclocked, but I think what I wrote at top is more likely, but can be both too.
Last gens flagship SoC which are underclocked for 679-849€ right before the 8+ G2 arrives is a horrible deal, especially with all the lackluster features such as USB 2.0, IP54, 45w charging, camera max: 4K60fps, 1080p60fp and 1080p30fps front camera, and more. Only 895k in Antutu on a G1+ (average for G1+ above 1 mill, throttling already at AnTuTu?)
I guess the LEDs are a plus...? You can put your screen face down and look at white lights so you don't have to look at that pesky and more informative always on display. Display scratches are kinda cool to look at too, as they haven't listed which gorilla glass they're using.
For 679-849€ you might just get a flagship/gen2 phone. And if you wait, massive sales on G2 phones will happen when the 8+ G2 comes out - which is right around the corner, almost 2 gens behind at release, I thought that was reserved for tablets?
No things phone G1-?

Software, application, operating system... Most of people nowadays does not understand what are those.. Say Iphone A15 Bionic is worse than Snapdragon 870, within the hardware limitation though. But when the software comes in, it'll be better than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 on overall/outcome performance since it uses lighter and well-managed system.
Same as Nothing Phone, it comes on a lighter and customisable operating system that could also perform in long term. It also receives brtter performance stabilisation. Yes others may have better performance, but with a huge down at some times. This discussion is like Intel vs AMD, Intel with beast power yet power hungry and heat panics, while AMD goes average power yet low power.
Want to appreciate someone as a phone developer?
Make a free phone with no ads, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 overclocked, 10 grams phone, 6.1 inches can be holograohically transformed into 30 inches, 1000 megapixel four cameras with 2000x zoom that you can see the Jupiter 8k120fps, could emulate PS5 games with no stutters, nuclear powered battery then 8k resolution screen with 240hz, don't forget vibranium material being used on its screen. You can also download legit free ram no virus. /s
