  • Overpriced, unreliable mediocre phone by a company with terrible customer care.

    I thought it looked good and I wanted to try something different so I got one.

    Screen was not bright enough in the sun.
    Ringer was mediocre.
    Speaker for calls was very low, mostly useless.
    It would restart on its own randomly or even during calls, rendering it useless. Most of the times I was unreachable without realizing.
    GPS was a joke. Phone could not determine its orientation, could not determine proper location.
    Customer care was the largest dissappointment.

  • Nice phone! (...even after 2 years)

    I love my Nothing Phone (2)! I had it for a few weeks now and I'm really happy with it. Ok, the Glyph interface is a little gimmicky, but at least it is something different!
    The phone is fast, looks good, has a great screen and very good clean software (coming from a Poco F3...) The camera for me is more than good enough for the occasional 'point and shoot' picture I take.
    But the (speaker)sound is terrible, again coming from a great sounding Poco F3, and the haptics are strange. But hey, nothing is perfect...

    Update:
    Almost 2 years old the phone is still in great shape, updates came regularly and everything still works fine. Even the battery still keeps up a whole day.
    Hands down the best smartphone I've ever owned.

    Perfect

    After over two years of use, the battery still retains its effective capacity as it did out of the box. It easily lasts for 6-7 hours of continuous YouTube viewing at near-max brightness. If the phone isn't used, the battery drains minimally after 8 hours of work (mobile data on, receiving notifications, Messenger, etc.), and the battery drains about 5% in 8 hours. Performance is also noteworthy. Games on a 120Hz screen are fine, and the phone still runs smoothly after two years, with no stutters or bugs. Scrolling is smooth even after switching from 60Hz or even 90Hz. It works perfectly, efficiently, and the processor doesn't consume much power. The only drawback is the photos. During the day, they're just okay. They're nice and clear, but at night, they leave much to be desired. But you have to understand this, and you can live with it, especially since it's half the price of other flagships. Compared to the IP14 Pro/15 or its Samsung counterpart, its competitors pale in comparison. Especially in terms of battery life and overall feel. Their only real advantage is the camera, though daytime photos aren't that different. At night, it's a complete mess.

    Functional waste

    It's a decent phone for everyday use; the 45W battery helps, but the photos and sensors for skin are garbage—horrible skin tones and yellowish. As a user of the Pixel, 7 Pro, 8 Pro Max, and S24 Ultra, I'd say it's the worst. The Wi-Fi problem was terrible; I couldn't connect to it for four months due to a software issue until they released a new update in January and fixed it (hopefully it will work long-term). Otherwise, it's a normal phone for daily use—nothing amazing!

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
