Had gifted this phone to my wife on the day of launch. Its still buttery smooth and works perfectly as day one. Recently changed the battery as it wasnt holding upto mark, but now its better than before. Looking forward to gift Nothing Phone 3 to my wife when it comes.

Had this as backup for years. Now its my main phone. Tried many different midrange phones but with the same outcome being slow or camera just trash. Now this phone is smooth as hell probably the smoothes Android I ever used beats even pixel 8a. Nothing OS is something else and the camera is way better then most midrange and fast. It's insane how this holds up so good. Only bad thing is if I need to change battery I need to do it myself. Because I can't find any repair store doing this for nothing phones.

Great phone. Got this for the second time and this time for 140 euros. Great performance, build, in hand feel, sound quality, decent cameras, good enough battery and a nice UI. Decent cameras and overall a good midrange phone for daily usage. Bought this during launch but quickly sold after but now on Android 15 and Nothing UI 3.0, this phone is worth it. So got one for a good deal. Planning to get another Nothing phone, maybe the CMF phone soon.

ive had this phone since November 2023, and it's still performing excellently. It runs smoothly with no lag or overheating. The original screen protector is still on, and the operating system has only improved with the recent upgrades. The battery life remains great easily lasting a full day or even a day and a half depending on usage. Honestly, I think we all end up charging our phones daily anyway.
I always keep my phone on mute, so the glyph interface is incredibly useful. The lights are very noticeable, which is great for catching notifications at a glance, especially when I'm at work or driving.
The camera is decent. While it's not on par with an iPhone, it gets the job done.
The 120Hz display makes a noticeable difference. I appreciate it, especially coming from a Xiaomi phone.
Reverse charging is a handy feature for those occasional situations, like charging my headphones or a friend's dead iPhone haha.
My only real complaint is the speakers. The bottom speaker is noticeably louder than the top, and the overall music quality isn't the best.
Overall, it's a great phone, and I'm really pleased with my decision to choose it over a Xiaomi or something else (no offense intended!).

Sunsetmoon, 28 Jan 2025The battery drain has gotten worse after each major update. I really hopped they will no be ... moreBattery life is disaster for all smartphone, because it is a consumable item. If battery life is not an issue, each year there won't be newer smartphone with more efficient chip and also bigger battery capacity.

from my experience after around 3 years of using this phone, i can say that this phone is a 2-3 years phone after which using it becomes a hassle, the main problem with this phone are the battery life which significantly with time and as the updates roll in, as well as the camera the pictures are still acceptable but the video is not good enough to use i feel, the occasional gltiches in the software are also present which did become better with the updates, but this i feel is tolerable.

I really hopped they will no be another Apple or Samsung.
I was looking forward to Nothing Phone 2 but I'm not sure I will buy the second phone from them.

phone still working ok at allCan you tell us more in detail about your experience in general?
I'm particularly interested in general performance, build quality and battery life (not much about cameras as long as they get the general job done).

HelioG42069, 23 Jul 2024I know it's been months but i agree with this comment, i believe that the user needs free... moreYou are actually right, but the problem is majority is bought off by marketing from phone makers.
In common sense, as we pay the maker money, we should have complete freedom with the device we purchase; but as a trend funny is that the more we pay, less freedom we have.
For example, you pay more typically for sammy or apple then you are locked into their eco system (no way to change iOS, extremely hard to flash custom rom on sammy)

Being changing mobile 2x yearly and just get a nothing 2b and really surprised as it's so good ....only is some icon on weathers is not nice as expected like others mobiles ...
Price is low due to plastic instead of stainless steel for back ..

Well it's very good to my expectations...being using mobiles
