When I was buying my phone, I was between Nothing Phone 2 and Samsung S23 series or was going to wait for S24. In the end decided on Phone 2, because of price performance ratio and design elements. They also promise 4 software versions, so longevity should be sufficient. At the end it is also personal preference regarding design and UI. So I can't tell you what I think about OnePlus, but I can say that I love NP2.

Divesh, 06 Feb 2024Any NP 2 users, how is the phone faring? I have shortlisted... moreI have been using it for 2 months now. Battery lasts me for 2 full days consistently.
I don't game on phone, I use it for social media, music listening with bluetooth headphones, web browsing, navigation etc.
Screen time I am getting is around 6 hours. But most probably it is because it is spread over two days, so there is also stand by drain. For single day usage, screen time should be longer.
If you don't need telephoto lens or e-sim, go for it.

"IP ratings apply to the main body of the phone and not necessarily to individual components like camera lenses."
ChatGPT's answer:
"Lens fogging on a device could occur due to a variety of factors, and it's not necessarily related to the IP rating. Fogging can happen if there's a sudden change in temperature, humidity, or if there's moisture trapped inside the camera module during the manufacturing process."

The Nothing Phone (2) have a rating of IP54. I can summarize the implied arguments regarding water resistance based on the context from the previous comments:
• "IP68 is a gimmick," therefore I shouldn't worry about purchasing this device even when it's not IP68 rated
• "IP68 is a gimmick," therefore all the other manufactures that labeled their devices with such rating are misleading the consumers.
• "IP68 is a gimmick" is a potential bias. The IP54 rating was implemented to Nothing Phone (2), and therefore, Nothing Phone (2) has "real" IP54 rating, but other brands have false ratings.
What if Nothing would implement an IP68 to their future handsets? Does it mean that this rating is legitimate but considered a gimmick when applied to other brands?
Clarifications: the summary is based on previous conversations and doesn't reflect actual facts. A human has written it; no AI was involved.

Trt, 18 Jan 2024Then explain how xiaomi 13t have lense fogging and yet its ... moreCertainly. While Xiaomi's poor manufacturing process and quality assurance could be the reason, Xiaomi explained it themselves that IP68's protection level is limited. Navigate under 13T's product page > footnotes > "IP68"
"IP68 Disclaimer:
*The device has been tested and certified to be resistant to splash, water, and dust in the presence of specific laboratory conditions with the classification IP68 ingress protection based on IEC 60529:1989+A1:1999+A2:2013.
Please be noted that the test conditions of water resistance include: submersion in static freshwater up to a depth of 1.5 meters, up to 30 minutes, with a temperature delta between the water and product being 5K or less. Such water resistance features only pertain to specific conditions tested in a laboratory environment, which do not correspond to the normal conditions of use by consumers.
Not advised for beach or pool use.
Ingress protection might deteriorate from daily wear and tear, physical damage and/or disassembly needed in case of repair. "

I can't delete my previous comment, though. If the rumored Phone (2a) will come out at a good price even without an IP rating, I'd pick that one solely because of the clean Android OS that looks like an Android OS. I'm getting tired of looking at varying interpretations of Android 14 from Xiaomi and others.

justasmile, 16 Jan 2024As I said, IP68 is a gimmick.But not as gimmicky as glyphs.
My lenses and camera bodies have gaskets in them and are weather sealed and resistant to dust and moisture. My lenses without this weather sealing developed molds inside them, which costs me money for parts replacement and shipping. IP rating is simply a standard or a system that defines the level of resistance against water or dust and so on.
It's up to the manufacturers on how they would implement it. Therefore some brands might do a terrible job and others could be more successful.
Devices with IP-ratings (or whatever it is) and weather-sealing incorporated in the "hardware" are existing, not only in phones. In a broader sense, they're not a gimmick when done right. Rubber gaskets are placed between the gaps of a hardware where water might seep into, no matter what device that is, is an advantage over no protection at all.

This phone is too gimmicky although the glyph can be a useful way for the phone to communicate to its users while faced down, their research budget should have been allocated to better weather sealing (ruggedness and hardware longevity) and AI enhancements and features that are currently exclusive to Pixel devices.
