Fredwinia, 12 Jul 2023Why should I buy the nothing phone 2 if I can get the onepl... moreOr a pixel 7/pro lol

    Nice looking device but nothing special. Indeed a small evolution from the NP1 design-wise. Hardware wise it's another thing but I still prefer the smaller NP1. The NP2 might be better on several aspects but, to me, not enough to justify the price difference compared to the NP1. I also have some doubts about the curved back glass while the front one is completely flat. It's probably just my mind playing hard to understand. I know that other phones have similar things going on but I'm more a symmetrical kind of guy meaning either both are curved or both are flat...nitpicking...

      Gimmick phone artificially hyped by Carl Pei's influencer pals.

I went and checked Nord 3, it sucks in Camera. I'm not a gamer so Oppo processor won't affect my experience much. Let me know what you end up buying.

                      That's a fair price for Better Processor & Better Optics (No 3X zoom on Phone (2)).
                      Phone (2) is a great phone, I expected it to cost around 40K To be Honest.
                      Slightly overpriced in my opinion, cos Nothing still doesn't have the brand value of Samsung.

                        Only downside of buying older phones is fact that you may not find original components if you need repair. Sadly many repair shops use generic pieces and pretend to be official.

                                  Ouch! With such competition this feels like a suicide for Nothing. The only reason i can think of to buy this phone is for donation to the company. In the future this device will probably be included to the "Phones that weren't" list of GsmArena. Best of luck!

                                    Funny how part of media says 890 is huge upgrade over 766 when it is nothing but minir update , even specs are same. Minimum difference in terms of iso performance, noise etc ..
                                    Something almost impossible to notice.

                                      I quite like it , feels more mature now few updates here and there and great price.
                                      I also like the support and commitment that nothing is doing. I will follow them more closely
