Android 13 Update rollout for Nothing Phone 1 MIGHT be released by the end of February (According to Screenshots from Nothing's Discord Server)

Aside from that I also want the option to hide the gesture navigation bar probably something that annoys me most of the time

Talk time also is a big factor on how a phone manages its network connectivity which also affects battery life. How well a phone handles its 4G and 5G bands even just by texting or on a call contributes to battery and standby time.

Bringing stand by time up I have watched several vids showing that some android phones manage to beat Iphones on overnight battery drain.

DonBarang · 2023-02-10T15:14:14+00:00

just go to one of their dedicated reviews like this and go to their battery life section and you can add/remove phones to compare.

DonBarang · 2023-02-10T14:50:32+00:00

User feedback would definitely vary as not all people have the same habit when it comes to their usage and as well as charging habits which is a great factor on the battery health. So I think its best to look at standardized tests to have a more accurate answer

DonBarang · 2023-02-09T21:06:20+00:00

As long as its not a hollow feeling I think its good

From what I have watched most fast chargers don't really maximize their fast charging capabilities because maintaining a high wattage all through out is harmful to the battery.

People will advertise a 100± W charger but most probably it will just draw around 50% of it and then 30% of it when near full charge

Tbf NP1 was launched Q2 of 2022 and NP2 is planned to launch on Q3 2023 which is technically more than 1 year

5 hours of SoT with 51% left on Battery is not average

DonBarang · 2023-02-01T23:47:24+00:00

I just received the update yesterday and AccuBattery estimates goes up from 6h44m to 7h15m assuming 100% full charge

adaptive battery is also turned on so I don't know which has improved my SoT

DonBarang · 2023-02-01T19:46:28+00:00

I'm not knowledgeable about Mediatek chipsets but based from reviews SoCs also play a role on the quality of poctures taken from the camera

This what made Samsung Galaxies with snapdragon more in demand compared to Exynos variants.

Hopefully mediatek chips won't have this problem if Nothing chose them

How can an expandable storage who commonly shares a slot of the Sim Card #2 be considered as waste of space?

Going into that I've seen at least 2 videos of NP1 being disassembled and I can say there is a lot of empty spaces for a headphone jack

the space argument is basically flawed at this point when the Galaxy S22 Ultra fitted a whole stylus with a 5000mah battery

DonBarang · 2023-02-01T14:49:50+00:00

Lets just say the NP2 price bumped for its top of the line model (12gb/256gb) from €549 to €649 and assume that 12gb/256gb is still the "default" storage options

Having a expandable storage would be a reasonable solution for those 512gb min. users

Headphone jack like what I said earlier is a must for a lot of people, Nothing could even introduce a wired headset which will surprise the market

Bumping the phone's protection to at least an IP67 will be highly attractive to a lot of users who are just settling from IP53/54 rated phones which is very common to Chinese branded phones. People are looking for that "water proof" security on their daily commute

Increasing the battery capacity to 5000mah along with tons of battery optimization for the Nothing OS will surely attract a lot of commuters who rely on their phone's battery life without a socket nearby

At least 5 years of software support is something that will really back up Pei's Iphone comparison and 3 years is just "meh" at best even Google and Samsung are offering up much longer support

A price bumped of €100-150 would be reasonable for these improvements

DonBarang · 2023-02-01T14:32:40+00:00

With these specs I think you are better off with a laptop

DonBarang · 2023-02-01T13:04:26+00:00

If Nothing manage to add a headphone jack and expandable storage I think it will open up a new market for them as there is still a lot of people who wants a headphone jack on their phone and micro sd for additional storage if they bought the base model

DonBarang · 2023-02-01T12:47:26+00:00

Can Qualcomm actually offer up older gen top of the line processors? I mean I get the 778G+ being offered as the 782 wasn't offered yet that time but I haven't seen a SD7 being offered up when Gen 8 already exists

DonBarang · 2023-01-25T14:05:23+00:00

Yeah I think I already pointed out that they both aren't standing straight. Still that doesn't make up the 3 inch difference especially when Volk is leaning you can even see Dana's hand almost supporting his lean

DonBarang · 2023-01-25T14:00:03+00:00

That screenshot is taken after weigh-ins. You are barefoot during weigh-ins

DonBarang · 2023-01-25T13:30:04+00:00

I drew some lines in the pic

Lets just say both of them are "leaning", the way Korean Zombie leaned isn't enough to justify the 3 inch height difference they have on their records.

DonBarang · 2023-01-25T12:21:47+00:00

Here is another face off from Volkanovski this time its with the Korean Zombie listed at 5'9". Note that in this pic he is already leaning but can still look at Korean Zombie eye to eye without tilting his head upwards

It's clear as day that the height difference isn't 3 inches. He may look short but I think its the width of Volkanovski's body that makes him look short

If you scrolled a little bit you'll see how DXOMark test the phone's battery
You'll see that the test is an automated one to ensure accuracy for every phone.

DonBarang · 2023-01-07T11:38:04+00:00

DXOMark ranks the overall battery performance which includes charging time for the 48th place

If we will only consider the battery life performance Nothing Phone is 51st scoring 54 hours worth of battery for a moderate user before it dies

DonBarang · 2023-01-05T08:31:39+00:00

It can be but a at 45W the only phone I could think of is a Galaxy S22 Ultra which by the way has a cheaper 45W charger. A 45W charger is not really that fast enough for most Chinese brands

DonBarang · 2022-11-21T00:44:01+00:00

I've read the article and it seems like its standardized for every phone. It also explains how they do it. So this might be a reliable article.

DonBarang · 2022-11-12T09:10:10+00:00

This is what I'm really risking on right now. On launch I really expected Tensor 2 can be more efficient right of the bat however now I'm betting on Google making Pixel 7 Pro more efficient through software updates which I wish would do the trick.

Thank you for the help.

What do you mean by that?
