It just shows how the market unfortunately favours those that do smart packaging and hype marketing, rather than those that make actual good phones. This phone is basically a repackaged Phone (1) with a new (and slightly worse) SoC, slower UFS and a bigger battery. Even the cameras are literally the exact same.

You mention that the main camera is Samsung's GN9 are you sure it's not a mistake? Sony IMX890 should be the main camera, hitch is the same with Nothing Phone 2.

I'd say this phone is almost perfect if someone wants a smooth experience without getting a flagship processor for gaming. For me the only weakness are the cameras... photos look very yellowish and a bit flat compared to my old Samsung a52s 5G.

justasmile, 13 Mar 2024More optimised, and better update frequency than Moto.Literally nothing (lol) to prove that Nothing's OS is more optimized than Moto. Both are stock and both are really good in terms of optimization when compared with other Chinese alternatives. Agreed about the update frequency, Moto is lagging behind big time. Then again, in this case I'd still pick faster hardware (Edge 40) over more updates (Nothing 2a).

Even by default you can assign settings shortcuts (open widgets -> settings -> select which toggle you'd like). Pedometer? I don't know much about "cool looking" ones, but Google Fit or basically any health app (like Samsung Health) allow you to set widgets for steps, calories burnt etc. which is directly synced from your wearable.

Personally, I do not like the design. It is perfect for a midranger though.

Its a budget spec....some of it quite dated...and while refresh rate is 120hz the resolution is 1080x2412 and 394ppi....usb 2.0. Its just another budget phone with some hype and pretty lights thrown in. ALSO....Mediatek lol. It could so easily be on Aliexpress.

justasmile, 11 Mar 2024Did you also read what I said, the tons more widget options?I thought those depend on the apps you use? The usual widgets like clock, calendar, weather etc. are available on all phones. What else does Nothing offer apart from the usual ones? Again, I'm not talking about lockscreen widgets but normal widgets, the ones you put on the home screen.

hippo2s, 11 Mar 2024No, doesn't make sense. UFS is the speed of the memory... moreWhen people say UFS 2.2 will age faster, they don't mean it will physically deteriorate at a faster rate. That doesn't make sense.
But what commonly happens is that as Android and its apps become more and more demanding, UFS 2.2 may not hold up as well as 3.1. eMMC was the norm for older smartphones and back then they ran fine, but in the present day they are just too slow and almost unusable for most use cases. Right now, the difference between 2.2 and 3.1 is already noticeable on most apps, and this difference can only get bigger in the future.
