Anonymous, 12 Jul 2023Nothing phone=nothing New, missing SD card, audio jack. Next....Nobody wants any of those things in this phone. 120 gb+ is more than enough for a cell phone. If you need more data storage use the cloud is 2023 or stored on your PC laptop MacBook whatever

      Another generic 6.7 inch android phone with ""stock"" features as a selling point.
      >But muh OS updates! I want more rounded corners on my apps and more support for phones that aren't mine!
      >But muh useless security updates!
      >But muh pretty LED lights I'm guaranteed to turn off after a day of using

            Loki, 12 Jul 2023Same doubta one plus 11R or NP2?If it were for me, I would go for NP2. OnePlus 11r has less features than this one, only thing that's better on 11r is the screen size and pixel density and the charging speed. Software is also not well polished and it also has a 2mp camera sensor.

              The glyph thing acts like a brand's logo, for instance iphone with its unique camera island position and Nothing phone with its glyph.

                Fredwinia, 12 Jul 2023Why should I buy the nothing phone 2 if I can get the onepl... moreIf it's the same price, then it's obviously better to buy OnePlus 11 unless you like the clean look of stock Android. But here in my country, this one is substantially cheaper than OnePlus 11 and only marginally more expensive than OnePlus 11r.

                        Fredwinia, 12 Jul 2023Why should I buy the nothing phone 2 if I can get the onepl... moreI owned the 1 and its been a nice experience as it was ticking all the boxes and it was looking very different . I been using it for a month or so but obviously got back to my s21+ as its optimization couldn't be riched by Nothing phone.but Nothing was anyway special and was working good already,just needed a top chipset and a bit better in everything else,and that's happened now. I been a OnePlus enthusiast since day one until the op9pro but I don't like that form factor anymore. So I would definitely give the Nothing 2 a go..

And guess what, i felt "women touch" and i feeling it every night (Im married), I was with my friends drinking coffie hour ago. So kid, if you don't like something there is people who do.

                                    This is what I know about you if you like this gLyPh interface:
                                    — You have no friends
                                    — You never felt a woman touch (and you never will)
                                    — You need to go outside.
                                    — You're not original, funny nor better than everyone else.
                                    — Shower more.

                                      I think how the "glyphs" work and are animated would best be shown with complimentary GIFs for this review. Awesome read otherwise
