Excellent, No Nonsense Phone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2024

Fast processor, excellent large screen - bright, good colour balance and, unlike some rivals, possible to cool backlight to make a fairly neutral white - and good sound quality through speaker and call reception. The camera improves a lot after early May firmware update. More natural colour than is the norm and very sharp. HDR not quute as effective as on Google Pixel 4a this phone replaced, but still pretty good. The phone is generally very bug free and battery lasts for ages. No wireless charging but, aside from that, really don't know what else most people would miss if they went for this rather than a more expensive phone.

So disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2024

This is such a disappointment. The Bluetooth struggles to connect to my glucose sensor and continually stops syncing. The screen response moving between open apps decides when it wants to work or not. Good battery life but such a terrible experience it's being returned.

I'm comparing this to my Zenfone 8. I'm not a Phone Gamer.
Quick phone. Battery life is far and away longer lasting than the Zenfone. Screen is very nice. I've heard of issues with the Fingerprint reader, I've not encountered any of those issues, it works just as well as my Zenfone.
It's a very big phone, so takes some getting used to.
Niggles I don't like:
1: No option for separate ring tones for each SIM. You can setup ringtones for each contact, but that's no use if you have a Work and a Personal SIM and hundreds of contacts.
2: No carousel display option. On most androids to can scroll the page left or right and end up back to Home. On this you can only scroll Right, and then you have to scroll Left to get back Home.
3: Camera is just OK.
It is a mid-range phone though, so you have to expect compromises v's price.
I recommend the JETech tempered screen protector and Clear case. Working in IT we buy these by the boxload for the hundreds of iPhones we have, and they're high quality and durable.

Edit: 2-3 months in. Very happy with the phone. No issues to report. Used to the size of it now (I prefer compact phones). Three updates sent to the device from Nothing in the period.

Great phone for the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2024

Colour Name: BlackSize Name: 12+256GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase

This phone will do most things you want from a midrange phone . The operating system is very lean and is not cluttered with unnecessary apps etc . Very fast and responsive. Feels nice in your hand and I love the design and build quality. It is not heavy and cumbersome feels just right . Only one downside is the camera . It takes majority of pics well but no optical zoom but for this price you can't have everything. Would I recommend? Yes definitely. When I have had this for a couple of years maybe I will get there next top tier phone like the nothing 2
. One last thing which is essential for me is the battery life which last easily a day and half if normal usage . Love it

Good phone though it has been a bit glitchy

Good phone though it has been a bit glitchy I'm sad to say as I had very high expectations. The camera is amazing, the phone is lovely looking too.
Just a pity about a few things. Auto rotate sticking and some apps freezing although might be do with the android I don't know?

Uno dei migliori medio gamma in circolazione

Reviewed in Italy on 20 June 2024

Colour Name: BlackSize Name: 12+256GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase

Tengo a precisare che questa non sarà una recensione incentrata sulla descrizione delle componenti che si possono tranquillamente trovare online, bensì sarà una recensione incentrata sulla mia personale esperienza.
Nothing distrugge la rivalità grazie al suo designer accattivante fatto con la collaborazione di cmf, si distingue da tutti gli altri medio gamma a primo impatto proprio per il suo aspetto che dà un senso di esclusività e novità grazie ai 3 led sul dorso del telefono che aggiungo diverse funzionalità esclusive di Nothing.
Il telefono è abbastanza veloce, sicuramente non il più veloce tra tutti i concorrenti ma ha tante piccolezze che lo rendono più apprezzabile di molti medio gamma di Xia omi che però si comportano sicuramente molto meglio con la batteria che se sottoposta a grandi sforzi arriva a circa 8h.
Infine mi sentirei di consigliare Nothing a chi è alla ricerca di novità e ricerca un design esclusivo senza spendere troppo, avendo comunque un telefono veloce e con una durata della batteria di medio livello, tutti attributi che Nothing riesce a soddisfare perfettamente.

Preis Leistung top

Reviewed in Germany on 19 June 2024

Für den Preis bekommt man alles was man braucht. Es sieht cool aus und funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich hatte bisher keinerlei Probleme. Sehr zufrieden. Einziger Nachteil aus meiner Sicht: es ist sehr groß und auch schwer.

Listed as new, clearly used

I don't mind paying for a used phone, but In all fairness it should be listed as used, not new and price should reflect that.

Attachant mais pas parfait

Reviewed in France on 18 March 2024

Colour Name: MilkSize Name: 8+128GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase

Alors que dire....?

TOP:
Ce téléphone est original avec des 3 led sur l'arrière qui le distinguent de la masse et qui sont pratiques pour vous informer entre autre que vous avez un message.
Le téléphone est plutôt léger et l'écran agréable et grand.
L'interface est aussi très réussie et personnalisable a souhait. Très bon point.
Très bonne réception wifi et réseau.

MOYEN:
Les photos. Pas mal mais plutôt froides. On a toujours envie de rajouter un filtre un peu plus coloré.
Après ce sont de belles photos et pour les vidéos, la stabilisation est bienvenue.
L'autonomie est moyenne. On arrive vite a la moitié de la charge sans l'avoir trop sollicité.
Ça tient la journée mais pas foufou.
Les haut-parleurs sont peu puissants. Juste juste.

BOF:
Pas de chargeur et pas de coque dans la boîte. Franchement ?

Voilà mon avis sur ce téléphone qui reste un produit original et fort attachant. Quelques mises à niveau pourraient améliorer l'expérience.
On croise les doigts.

Calidad-Precio

Reviewed in Spain on 1 July 2024

Colour Name: BlackSize Name: 12+256GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase

He sido usuario de OnePlus durante muchos años y cuando salió este teléfono me quedé con la curiosidad porque me gusta mucho la filosofía de su creador. Decidí, entonces, regalárselo a mi padre. El teléfono va muy bien, la batería cumple con creces y para estar constantemente jugando y mirando tonterías en el móvil, cumple de sobra.

Excellent telephone... Juste problème de compatibilité écran CARPLAY Corsa Opel année 2023

Reviewed in France on 16 April 2024

Colour Name: BlackSize Name: 12+256GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase

5G capte parfaitement y compris la wifi. Photos très belles ... Moi qui suis en possession d'un iphone 12 je suis stupéfaite de la qualité, rapidité de ce téléphone. Juste un soucis il ne fonctionne pas avec ma voiture Corsa année 2023 sous CARPLAY... Dommage 🤔 juste ce soucis meme la batterie tient toute la journée, a la fin de la journée même après l'avoir sollicité la batterie affiche 80% 👍 bravo Nothing ... Faites un effort pour le CARPLAY voiture et pour moi ce sera 5 étoiles 🌟 merci à Amazon de faire remonter l'information pour le problème avec CARPLAY.

Móvil potente con algunos problemas

Reviewed in Spain on 16 May 2024

Colour Name: MilkSize Name: 12+256GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase

Actualizado: escribí al soporte de Nothing, y me indicaron que tienen constancia de que algunos dispositivos sufren el problema que sufrí yo. En cualquier caso, lo devolví.

Lo bueno:
- El móvil, como tal, es muy potente, para cualquier tipo de tarea. Todo va con fluidez, y da gusto usarlo.
- La batería dura muchísimo (por lo menos a mí). Suele durarme dos o tres días. La velocidad de carga suele ser de hora y media, con un cargador estándar.
- La cámara me ha parecido muy buena. Mucha gente se queja, pero yo vengo de un móvil de gama media/baja, de 2019, y estoy encantado con las fotos.

Lo malo:
- El fabricante asegura que soporta 2G / GSM, pero no tengo la opción en "Tipo de redes". A más gente le pasa. Uso la misma SIM que en mi antiguo móvil, y ahí sí veía la opción.
- A la semana de tenerlo, apareció una franja de luz verde en la parte superior de la pantalla, a pesar de no haber sufrido ningún accidente. El servicio técnico oficial me dijo que probara a reiniciar de fábrica, pero estaba igual, e incluso fue a peor, días después.
- La pantalla tiene una certificación para agua y polvo, pero jamás he tenido un móvil, cuya pantalla "atraiga" tanto polvo. Es sacarlo del bolsillo, y a limpiarlo, porque es tremendo.

Sin el problema de la luz verde, pensaría en quedármelo, porque me gusta mucho, pero con todo lo demás, he pedido devolverlo.
