Well. At least you can say it's different. I don't know that I'd want a phone with virtually no water resistance.
The display is still gargantuan.
I guess it seems like a good deal for the price, if you're in the $200 market. I don't know that there's anything better.
I think when it comes to this sort of modularity, Motorola had the right idea with their pogo pin magnetic attachments.
Nothing missed the point by launching it when the 2a around the same ball park.
seems like a cool phone, but its made by nothing so you either dont install a custom rom and get a potentially insecure experience, or install a custom rom and lose the cool branding of the phone
and I know custom roms arent as secure as stock is, its just with nothing os I never can trust them
Why is that?
Appreciate the info, hadn't heard of any of that and I'm typing this from my Nothing Phone2. It was the only high performance phone cheaper than the galaxy and pixel devices and supports custom ROMs for the future. I don't use any specific Nothing apps or buds or launcher or anything. Also moved off most google apps as well so using open source and Android system apps or calls so hopefully shouldn't be too affected!
This seems like the most mediocre, style-over-substance offering from Nothing yet. I guess they paid for or heavily influenced a bunch of the early YouTube reviews because there is absolutely no way this is the "BEST budget phone" or a "game changer".
Anyone know what CMF is supposed to stand for?
