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.

        Sid5559, 13 Jul 2023Big nooooo with this price Go get the Chinese phones with crappy software then.

            Money for 'Nothing' that performs well

              Trofeo, 13 Jul 2023The phone is missing the telephoto camera and IP rating, no... moreIt has IP54 rating though.

                  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.

                      Nope, 14 Jul 2023Hell no, I wouldn't even buy it for half the price And why? Is it because you think that this is a Chinese company?

                        Anonymous, 14 Jul 20238+ Gen 1 is not a good chip it is not as good as Gen 2 as f... more8+ gen 1, not 8 gen 1.

                          Sid5559, 14 Jul 2023Big no for 1080p display only lpddr 5 not 5x ram , battery ... moreYou've got like more than 10 comments of hate on this opinion section, stop. It's not like 'Nothing' is forcing you to buy it.

                            Sid5559, 14 Jul 2023Another nothing person Nothing person? Absolutely not.

                            Simply, you have about 10 comments saying the exact same thing on this comment section and it got irritating.

                              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

                                      Maybe of it had a headphone jack or micro sd card slot, but I would just go with the S23+

                                        "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-?
