Review on Smartphone Nothing Phone (1) 8/256 GB, Dual nano SIM, white by Wiktor Witold Skow ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, a pleasure to use.

Bought purely for a change instead of Sony Xperia 5 II (which is fully functional and good). I did not want a phone like everyone else. Compared to Sony: big and heavy. Some friends decided that I took some kind of iPhone, apparently similar (I don’t like them in principle). It is very beautiful from the back without a cover, but a cover is needed, otherwise the glass back can be easily knocked out. I ordered a Nilkin cover on Ali, it's excellent. The screen is good, similar to Sony. Glyphs are unusual and cool. The practical value is not great, since usually the screen is turned towards you and you notice (sometimes) only reflections. But I like their presence. The camera, oddly enough, at least shoots no worse, even compared to Sony's pro mode (there you can simply adjust the exposure as in a real camera, but usually you are too lazy to do this). When using the phone for calls, instant messengers, a little Internet surfing and listening to music for a couple of hours, the phone can last two days (Sony - similarly). Communication, voice - no problem. NFC in Sber Pay works much more stable (that is, it always works) than in Sony. Sony's fingerprint scanner (on the side) is livelier, but Sony constantly hurts and as a result it often blocks for 30 seconds, you need to unlock it with a code, which infuriates. There were no noticeable glitches, there were no freezes for a month. It is strange that in the native shell (launcher) in the application menu it is impossible (I did not find a way) to create folders, all the icons hang in a long pile (usually you push one over the other - and here is the folder). Everyone thinks this is a glitch or such a lack of an interface, it shouldn't be like that at all.

Pros
  • The phone did not disappoint. If you want a phone that is not like everyone else and there is no tendency to compare those with a magnifying glass. characteristics for every spent - recommended.
