How good is a Nothing Phone? (sopuli.xyz)

It's a generic question and the first answer it merits is "It depends." but let me explain myself a bit more.

I'm looking at changing my phone in two or three months and the current phone I have was a bit of a let down. It's a BlackView and I bought it being rugged but the phone comes with a few quirks I can't get rid of.

On Lemmy, Nothing Phone is randomly mentioned. Some talk down on it, others praise it.

I've set a budget for how much I'm willing to spend on my next phone but the store I usually go to has added the brand to their catalogue and one of the models, although a bit more than what I want to spend is something I could consider.

The model in question is the Nothing CMF Phone 1, 8GB RAM, 128 GB storage, 5G network ready.

But how different and better from the average brand is Nothing Phone? What sets them apart?

My understanding is that it's primarily for people that want to unplug from the internet, mostly.

I picked up a Fairphone 6, and I quite like it, if you wanted another alternative to consider.

The nothing phone isnt for those who wants to “unplug”?

Its just a more eye catching/different design style

They even got fancy notification lights on the back of some of their models.. something you wouldt add if you suggest people “unplug”

I don't have the money for a FairPhone.

But unplug from the net? Sounds strange. The model I checked is a fully fledged smartphone. Nothing that signaled the phone was about not having advanced functionalities.

Unplug as it it isn’t loaded with bloat/spyware/uninstallable socia media apps

That sounds very nice!

Don't know where you are located but Murena just dropped the price of the fp6. I also have one and it's pretty great. The battery life alone is amazing.
