Nothing is a REAL competitor now - Nothing Phone (2)

Oddly enough, software support is becoming more and more important to me compared to hardware features in what phone I go with.

Would love to see a section on repairability on phone reviews going forwards. Even if it's just "there isn't any". Would send a message to manufacturers that it's something that consumers want, and it's important to me for the longevity of the phone

Imagine that there is nothing in the box

I have had the Nothing Phone 1 for 8 months and absolutely love it, Don't understand the let down really

No one: My inbox: NOTHING PHONE 2

I love my Nothing Phone 1, and the updates that have been coming out have improved on it. It was a bit harder to get here in the states, but was worth it. It was a massive upgrade from my old G5.

Nothing Phone 1 = a good mid-ranger Nothing Phone 2 = a good near-flagship The Nothing Phone 2 kinda sits between the Pixel 7 and S23. In my area , the Pixel 7 is $700, S23 is $800 while Nothing Phone 2 is $600, count in the much faster processor and LTPO screen...you know which one I'm gonna get, got more hooked with the software though, I'm gonna cover the glyph with a case lmao.

this is the same design aesthetic as what the oneplusX was trying to carve out, I loved that phone. if they made a nothing phone mini I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

Super duper happy to see ShortCircuit unboxing the 2nd Nothing Phone after seeing its announcement on TechLinked. My Note 10 Lite is still a reliable trusty ol thing but I wouldn't mind upgrading and LTT is exactly the type of perspective I need to help me decide. Also finally ordered a Northern Lights desk pad after drooling over the amazing design for more than a year, thanks Lime day! <3

seems a great phone at good price, nice to see options in the phone space.

Little surprised to hear that you didn't like the phone 1. I got it about a month ago and am really happy with it. I don't game or do anything particularly intense on my phone, so the performance is more than enough for me. Favourite thing though, is the OS. Stock android experience with a few widgets and graphical changes from Nothing. I love the complete lack of bloatware and the continued software support. A couple of updates before I bought it also massively increased the battery life, so with my usual usage, I go about 2 days without charging it. The glyphs are a bit of a gimmick to me, but I expect to use them a bit more once OS 2 is released for the phone 1.

so as someone that's created his own ring tones... and alert messages... that sound amazing to be able to do that!!!.

Honest question: Why would availability, if you already have the phone, be a detriment to the ownership/use experience?

"One Hert" 😂

ok but that Something laptop skin looks gorgeous, amazing work Dbrand

Rich people be like "I returned the phone because it didn't cost enough"

I have a nothing phone 1 and it is great. Much better experience that my last samsung phone that had to be returned 2 times for hardware issues that even after I got it back from repair never really went away. All in all, love it.

dolphin as a labs workload is very fun to see - i wonder if they will end up trying any later release titles like sonic colors

This seems very cool I have to admit that it is a considerable bump from $399 to $599 (to start) but you definitely get what you pay for and nothing seems to be very good on the support side of things. All in all I definitely do feel compelled to at least check it out.

Was hoping Linus would cover this like he covers many important phone launches
