Edit From u/MishaalRahman "Nothing sent me a unit for review which I’ve been using for the past 2 weeks. I can’t answer many questions immediately due to embargo (we’re pretty much only able to talk about the design and new Nothing OS 2.0 features), but if you have any questions, I’ll make note of 'em and come back to answer them once the full review embargo lifts"

Which is the best? ASUS Zenfone 10 or Nothing Phone (2)?

What do you want out of a phone?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An all-rounder android phone. That I can bring and will reliably work and will work long.

I have Pixel 6, and it's a decent phone. Its battery has been inconsistent recently. Sometimes, I get 6-7 hours then some days I get 5 hours or even lower. Maybe because of the heat of the phone? Idk. Camera is great but that all there is to it. I have heating issues when gaming.

I want the Zenfone because it's small, headphone jack, and it's powerful.

I also want Nothing Phone, I think it will be fun to use. Enforce some screentime discipline through glyphs. I like the idea to set the phone down, not being bombarded with not so important notifications.

I don't want anything that powerful that flagships offer, but all I need is it is efficient to use both in software or hardware.

I want to feel whenever I bring and look at my phone, I can think "I can watch some videos on that" or "Let's game a bit more" without having to worry "I might charge it later" or "but the batter will run out".

Sorry for my english.

I see where you are coming from. The Zenfone 10 and nothing phone 2 would be good options. But may I add this other option as well. The Sony Xperia 5 mk 5. It will have a big battery 5000 mah, headphones jack, front facing speakers, plus expandable storage. The only issue is that it cost 1k and be coming in the fall.
