      2 years of updates + 3 years of extended security updates

      It’s 2 years of Android updates AND 3 years of security updates. This means 3 years of support total, which is pretty bad.

      Honestly if they made an accessory that turned that little knob into a fidget spinner of kinds I would 100% pony up for it. As it stands now I can see myself screwing and unscrewing that thing and then losing it somewhere

    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

          various security oversights or vulnerabilities

          • nothing chats link
          • cmf watch app link
          • cmf watches have other user’s custom watch faces link

          they have a track record of stupid issues like those, and thats why i cant trust them

            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”.
