    Yong Farlight84, 14 Jul 2023🤪 My Oppo Find X5 doesn't even get hot & charges a... moreEven 40 celsius will feel just warm, not hot.
    I had phone with SD810, not even at 65 celsius it was not impossible to hold.
    You will never feel how hot it is.
    Outside is never as hot as inside

    Go get thermometer insread of using hands.

      LoneOwl, 13 Jul 2023-The display brightness is disappointing. Not even close to... moreNo kidding but yes I guess people will just buy blindly because it has LEDs on the back...

      I guess most of Europe and US market will be like "What is a Poco??" while their reaction to Nothing Phone 2 will be like heeey this is something.

          nothing 2 see....

            crispcketlicker, 13 Jul 2023Ok but you want all of this for the final price of $600?It's €679 in Europe which is $762 and that's for the crappy 128gb version

              Out of curiosity, I went to the manufacturer's website and there are no accessories available as standard, such as a charger ,glass or even a case. Hahahahaha
              This is for a company that can't stock up on basic things during the premiere pathetic

                Anonymous, 14 Jul 2023not worth buying. i checked the camera comparisons and the ... more In Europe, Pixel is definitely a better offer, especially since it is cheaper and the camera is better.

                  kiasunkiasi, 14 Jul 2023what do you expect when the top guy is from BBK? Even half of the company is from the former OnePlus, so it was immediately clear that the camera would be bad

                    Anonymous, 14 Jul 2023Same here, OP11 and barely even warms up while it's be... moreI still use OnePlus 7 with the old snap 855 and even when I play for a few hours connected to the charger, the phone does not exceed 37 degrees.
                    People who complain have counterfeit chargers or faulty devices, I don't see any other way that there could be a problem.
                    Unless it's just people who just lie and never had these phones in their hands lol
                    OnePlus can be accused of a lot but not in terms of charging and battery

                      Crazy , 14 Jul 2023After reading all smell like it's just a bbk smartphon... morewhat do you expect when the top guy is from BBK?

                        anyway, this Nothing is basically nothing for me, pass

                          Wow no charger in box at this price ? carl pei surely has a winning formula here, and i thought no sdcard slot and 3,5mm port left out was bad already...

                              Anonymous, 14 Jul 2023Google is not going to harm battery in favor of high chargi... moreMy last phone charged at 56 watts and after 3 years of heavy usage, it's battery only degraded to about 79%. It depends on how you use your phone, and barely on how much wattage it charges at.

                                After reading all smell like it's just a bbk smartphone
                                Review was good and accurate but rating is fake for sure 🤥
                                Xiaomi is better than this only I got eye on this is just a camera lenses ultra wide 50mp 😅.

                                High specifications but only half is work/usable

                                  Anonymous, 14 Jul 202365 that after few minutes drops to 18, just like current. ... moreDon't know, but my OnePlus 11 charges at 100 watts and remains at 35-36°c throughout and touching the phone never feels like it is getting even slightly warm. Also gets fully charged in barely 20 minutes.
                                  Do you have any sources of your claims or just assuming all this because your 33 watts charging phone was getting heated so you thought 100 watts would make it even hotter and 240 would fry the phone? Because that is not the case as it differs for every charging standard. My old phones with 18, 10 watt charging were getting hotter during charging than my 100 watt OnePlus.

                                      Dear gsmarena team why you are not saying what games did you test?
                                      It's important for some people
                                      If you can put temperature test

                                        not worth buying. i checked the camera comparisons and the pixel 7 and pixel 7a blow it out of the water. i dont trust nothing as a brand yet either. they said they would not turn into oneplus, but their second phone is already this expensive. AND WHY IS THEIR CPU DOWNCLOCKED EXACTLY LIKE THE 7+gen 2 cpus????? i smell something fishy.
