I don't have green tint on my Nothing Phone at all.
The display is excellent. The UI feels smoother and faster than a Samsung flagship. That's after the last update - Nothing OS 1.5.3. The cameras are doing great too, for the price - good quality with good exposure, dynamic range and plenty of detail, in the dark photos are coming out absolutely natural, no overexposed areas, you get what you see with your eyes, at least most of the time. The battery is strong too and the phone doesn't get too hot when gaming even on intensive sessions - I play Wild Rift mostly.
Absolutely amazing smartphone overall.

This has got ben the worst phone ever. I can confidently say this after using it for almost 8 to 9 months. I mean I have used 35 phones ranging from $400 to $1000 but this top the charts for being the worst phone except for it refresh rate which is no use if Phone keeps hanging. Produces below average images. I don't except this company to be like OnePlus or even Vivo which are far far better even in future.

Hey I been using this for a while as a second phone and honestly I'm sure this would suite 80% of people out there guys. I have used s21+ as main for more than a year and nothing phone 1 cannot be compared to that one but hey nothing phone 1 is a total fantastic phone as it performs wonderfully under all aspects. It's a bit slippery only and it s horribly bulcky when using a case in my opinion

The phone 1 looks interesting. They were selling it in the US for $300 during the beta, which is a great price (there is no other 778G phones in the US) and beats A53 ($350 normally on Amazon) by a mile.
The observation on their gimmick to attract attention is on point. They are very successful.
They are just testing the waters in the US so far. I'm sure the US is going to be their ultimate goal but they are strategizing about how to do more of those marketing stuff without spending money.
The last thing I want is them to be another OnePlus (from flagship killers to overpriced flagships). I don't mind a good mid range chip at all, just don't increase the price above $400 USD.

The things you said about buttons are not true for my np(1). They are very clicky, and I have not had more than 5 accidental screenshots in 6 months of use which is normal.
Also, the usb-c port is just fine! Maybe your phone is problematic? It's less loose than my previous phone OnePlus 7t. I have a pair of usb-c headphones that slip off my OnePlus all the time but in the np(1) they sit perfectly fine.
Finally you didn't talk about the vibration which combined with the frame of the phone and the symmetrical bezels gives a very premium feeling. For me the Np(1) cost about the same as the OnePlus 7t, but it feels like it's double the price!

I'm not familiar with battery and overheating issues with either of them, but I'm guessing the overheating issue is the 6a rather than the S21 FE.

I was looking for a phone and quite quick and I was looking for a phone to last 4-5 years as android. Samsung (offial store) was ofering every model they had, but I thought that they were just not right for me, so I thought Asus ROG6 for 1100€ ot Nothing phone for 530€, despite in summer Asus will reveal ROG7 and +-ind winter Nothing phone2 (premium one) will be announced. Where You money is not my concern, something diferent from Iphone ( I had 5,11, 12 Pro) was meant for me as more trule freedom as backing up my work Toyota and leasure Skoda manuals and many other stuff android made me stick to it

CargoJoe, 09 Apr 2023Lol people disliking this phone because either it's gi... moreOppo has multiple 50mp cameraphones, the x6 series has 3 50mp cams i mean my find x5 has 2 imx 766 50mp sensors for its ultrawide and main, xiaomi has 3 50mp cam set ups, honor has, huawei has, vivo has too lol (or atleast 48mp as a minimum on all these companies flagships).
Google is computational photography and thats it, the 6 pro was such an overrated cameraphone that got beaten by my older huawei p40 pro in basically every department (i did real lofe real time comparisons). Samsungs cameras arent really up to the quality I'd expect (main and selfie are good quality).
Pixels updates are just constant fixes, they need regular updates but its only 3 years still. Samsung dont updste their low end phones anywhere near what people think and are (still the best overall on android though), oppo offer 4 years and were 2nd to android 13, they just need to focus a bit more on mid range. Oneplus also offer 4 years and i belive motorola do aswell so not just pixels and samsung that offer good software support.

idk why this is overly hyped.
one of the most useless phone produced by any company in last 10 years.
found nothing innovative/stylish/techy in it and these lights looking so so cheap, btw this was already launched a decade ago in Chinese cheap phones.
Please anyone help me if i am missing anything....
