      Mimster, 16 Jul 2023The front of the phone looks so average, so does the OS...In the end it all comes down to the price. I agree with others, bad pricing

            My old s10 has led-cover for 10€, it makes more than few led lines on p(2). Full customization of animated icons for notifications and so on. i suggest - if it is important for you (leds on back) buy current flagship and add led cover.

              Phone without E-Sim is Nothing but actually nothing phone. It will latterly take nothing to add E-sim to nothing phone 2. but still they decided to update nothing in nothing phone 2. SO no one will buy nothing.

                It looks pretty good. But the price, especially for last year's Snapdragon, is very hard to swallow.

                  justasmile, 15 Jul 2023That's strange. With LTPO tech and larger battery, how... more1) not all LTPO can go as low as 1Hz. Also, depends on how well brand can make use of it.
                  2) 8+g1 uses way more power than 778.
                  3) phone could also be louder, which would spend more power even if sound is set same % for test compared to previous.
                  4) reception could be weaker
                  5) if thermals are worse than phone 1, more heat and consequently more power used.
                  6) maybe worse software.

                  Look how many nubia phones have poor endurance, even redmagic.

                    justasmile, 15 Jul 2023That's strange. With LTPO tech and larger battery, how... morelarger screen, more standby drain mostly. The 8+gen1 is more efficient in doing tasks.

                        Anonymous, 15 Jul 2023You notice.....you can.......... off the light?Why would anyone buy a phone just to turn off its biggest feature? It is literally the only thing that defines it, otherwise it’s just another Android phone, there are plenty of other choices.

                          Flippant-weirdo, 15 Jul 2023Man's making assumptions for a phone he hasn't used lolHe didn't make assumptions. He gave his opinion based on the photos provided. The last Nothing phone was kinda suss too, for what was a pretty average phone with useless gimmick lights and known hardware issues. Couple this with Carl Pei's marketing overdrive and it's quite eye-opening how phony this industry has become.

                            Amarisia, 13 Jul 2023Get Samsung A53 or A52s at half price and more features and... moreBetter performance? Lol you're funny.

                                AlexS, 14 Jul 2023no ois only eis? No, there is OIS.

                                  dexterouz, 15 Jul 2023For me, it's - - No IP68. - No telephoto camera. ... moreAre you even going to go underwater with your phone often? Stop asking for more, at least they gave you IP54 splash-proofing and dust resistance.

                                    That's strange. With LTPO tech and larger battery, how can the phone last shorter than Phone 1? Is it because of the more powerful chipset?
