CamoGeko-XDA, 15 Jul 2023Why would I? No I wanted them to use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2... moreFlagship meaning:
"the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization."
Source: simple google search
The Nothing Phone (2) is Nothing's flagship, whereas the Poco F5 Pro isn't Xiaomi's flagship, that's the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, and no Poco and Xiaomi aren't 2 separate companies or brands.

Anonymous, 15 Jul 2023Hi, gangs, looking for some advice. Between the Nothing 2 a... moreif you plan to use the phone for over two years you are probably better off with the Nothing. Motorola are not the best at updating software as far as I know.

justasmile, 15 Jul 2023Nothing phone 2 is supposed to be a flagship, not mid-range... moreWhy would I? No I wanted them to use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2, it would be way better.
Nothing makes Nothing Phone 2 a flagship handset. It has no IP68 rating or 2k screen. Like I said, it's a mispriced and wrongly marketed.
Poco F5 Pro is more flagship and is cheaper than Nothing Phone 2.

OHYES, 15 Jul 2023I was one of the "This is OVERPRICED AF" gang whe... more"If it was starting at 530 to 550 it would be a tremendous value for money but considering you have to buy a 45W charger and some protectors.."
Well, considering that the Galaxy A54 with it's horrible Exynos chispet is 480 usd where I live, for the 8gb/128gb version and 570 usd for rhe 8gb/256gb and comes with a crappy cable, that's it. The Nothing Phone (1) is also 570 usd for the 8gb/256gb version, which I wouldn't say is good value, because it's not, but it's better than the A54 because of it's chipset alone.
So I'd say they did a better job with the Nothing Phone (2) than with the Phone (1) in terms of both specs and pricing. Altough the Phone (2) is clearly not meant for where I live, since it actually costs 870 usd for the 12gb/256gb version, which is however overpriced even in my opinion.

justasmile, 15 Jul 2023Go get the Chinese phones with crappy software then.Not every chinese brand has "crappy software", just because you don't like them, doesn't mean many other people can't like them either.

I was one of the "This is OVERPRICED AF" gang when it got revealed but then after thinking about it for some time, seeing reviews and taking to consideration what it gives you for the price, I think it's still overpriced but JUST a bit.
8+ gen 1, great battery life according to reviews, awesome display, good cameras, smooth and clean software, great design and those glyph LEDs are Nice 👍.
If it was starting at 530 to 550 it would be a tremendous value for money but considering you have to buy a 45W charger and some protectors, it's not the best deal but certainly one of the best ones out there.
I like it and I assume anyone who buys it, has the same opinion.

Hi, gangs, looking for some advice. Between the Nothing 2 and Thinkphone. Which one do you guys prefer?
Bit of context: I am in Australia, Nothing 2 price for 12+256GB is AU$1150 and Thinkphone 8+256GB is AU$999. Apart from the RAM, I think the Thinkphone is a bit better specs-wise compared to the Nothing 2, price is cheaper too despite Thinkphone having a 68W charger included.
Thinkphone's design bit boring, but Nothing 2 is way cooler. The Thinkphone battery is a bit better too.
Software-wise, I like stock Android, but I don't hate Nothing OS, looks very cool. Thinkphone has a feature like DEX in Samsung phone, which I very much love to have.
ATM I am more lean toward the Thinkphone. Love to hear your feedback. Thank you.

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
