    rosesarerosie, 13 Jul 2023How are the cameras excellent...? They are a smear fest..☠️ Be careful with these Nothing phone reviews. Carl Pei isn't stupid. He knows to use influencers to genetate hype and hope to convert into sales.

          Nothing Phone (2) looks enticing to me due to the marketing. Good job on that.

          Although most of the specs are alright in particular with the camera and the display, I cannot ignore the performance as I'm a heavy gaming user. The reviewer said it does not have High Frame rate gaming mode yet so I might wait a little longer considering updates would come up soon. By then I can decide if I can go all-in purchasing this or not in the next two months.

            Price will be disappointing for Indian users. Battery life not great, 6.7" is big and ugly

              A 4.4? GSMarena opinions aren't to be taken seriously

              Here's the proper cons list

              Disappointing GPU performance
              No high refresh rate for games
              No 1440p display
              No headphone jack
              No telephoto camera
              No IP68
              No charger
              No microSD

And for the record, Huawei is ruined because of US goverment, not the apple. If they didn't do it, then Huawei would best android manufacturer.

                      Who is weather provider in Nothing weather app, please?

                        -The display brightness is disappointing. Not even close to Nord 3 or Poco f5 pro....
                        -The battery is worse than previous Nothing phone 1, which is also disappointing for a 1080p screen. Its worse than even S23+.
                        -The charging is kind of meh for 45W.
                        -The lack of telephoto lens for the price is noticable.
                        -Last but not least the price. Am i the only one thats doesnt understand why this isnt priced competitively to attract more people?

                        Why is this phone pricing more than Poco F5 pro?Or Oneplus Nord 3?
                        Do they expect people will blindly run to buy a phone from an unknown company, just because it has leds on the back?

                          AnonD-546724, 13 Jul 2023All that marketing about how tech isn't fun anymore, b... morei hope they sell at least enough to be able to pay for the marketing campaign that they are doing, and that chinese is so challenge that in the same presentation they presented their entire team using a mac, and some of them were wearing the apple watch, the same carl uses iphone hahah

                            Get Samsung A53 or A52s at half price and more features and performance.

                              All that marketing about how tech isn't fun anymore, because brands stopped pushing the envelope just to release the same device multiple years in a row.
                              I can certainly get behind that.

                              Except Nothing isn't pushing the envelope with that phone either. Actually, with Phone (2), they pretty much released the exact same device two years in a row.

                              Worse, during the Keynote, theirs chief designer say that releasing something different this year would've cause them to "blend in". Except to blend-in would be to release same looking hardware years in a row, like everyone else is doing and like they just did.

                              Their Marketing tells you one thing, and their product say another.
                              Nothing, Jack of all trades, master of none.

                                  This phone should be compared to last years flagship phones because it has old snapdragon 8 gen 1 plus. Or to Nord 3 with comparable chipset.

                                  And with good discounts of last gen flagship models i think those old brands offer more value for money

                                    How are the cameras excellent...?
                                    They are a smear fest..☠️

                                      They have room for improvement especially with the cameras but ngl the software kinda gagged me. It's customized just perfect unlike those heavily skinned OS on Chinese brands.

                                        xslvrxslwt, 13 Jul 2023It's not pointless, they exist so 'cool' dad... moreHow can they be "dads" when they hv no family? Just say dilfs ffs...
