First of all FF7R shouldn’t be considered as remake, it should be considered as its own spinoff / sequel

Fucking finally someone gets it!

Man and I just bought a new phone like 2 months ago… I would have much preferred this for the longevity

Only advantage I can think of is the faster soc and more ram on the more expensive models.

Fairphone 5 uses the Qualcomm QCM6490 (equivalent spec to a snapdragon 778g, which is in the nothing phone 1) and has 8gb of ram. Nothing Phone 2 has snapdragon 8+ gen 1 and 12gb of ram on the $699 model, 8gb of ram on the base model that costs $599. Fairphone 5 also has a micro SD card slot coupled with the 256gb of storage, while the nothing phone 2 doesn’t have any microsd card slot and starts with 128gb of storage on the base model.

The fairphone 5 is more expensive, but you’re paying for the ability to actually repair it and 8 years of support.

I already have a nothing phone 2 and I’m outside the return period, but if I didn’t and had the choice between the two today, ngl I’d pay the extra for the more sustainable fairphone 5. Yes it costs more, but it’d pay off in the long-run with repairability and long-term support.

We are long past the days of proprietary charging ports on phones, my guy. You can use any charger that came with any phone you’ve owned in the past like 10 years.

Whelp, I was keeping the sub purely because the games they give you monthly and so my ex could still play online, but nvm. Gonna cancel because it’s not worth the cost. The games they give out monthly are usually mid and the online services haven’t improved since the PS3 days when it was free.

Still don’t have a PS5, and definitely not getting one now. Fuck off, Sony.

Cut the price down to $249 and maybe I’ll bite.

I know, I saw that. But I don’t see the NFT gallery on my phone at all. Was it something they added? Or did they plan to add it and then just not do it? Because it wasn’t on my phone when I got it, and I can’t find any kind of separate app on the Play store from nothing

So far yea. Battery life has been great, phone is very snappy, display is beautiful, sounds great. The only things I don’t like are that visual voicemail doesn’t seem to work (issue with T-Mobile moreso than the phone), wish the IP rating was at least 67 (it’s 54 I believe), and I wish either the fingerprint area was alittle higher on the display or just replaced with a rear fingerprint scanner. Other than that tho it’s been great.

On the software side, I’m surprised to see nothing is so proactive. When I first got the phone I posted on their discord about how we should have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and group them into folders, and they’ve already announced hiding apps is coming in a later update. No update on folders tho. It’s very clean, and there are some nice features like native app locking and cloning apps.

I bought the phone 2 to test drive it for 30 days, but was leaning on returning it and waiting for the pixel 8. I’ve been slowly leaning towards keeping this tho. The overall experience is just so stable and smooth.

I don’t remember seeing any of that… and just checked my phone and their website and didn’t find any mentions of nfts

… you clever bastard…

Writing this on a phone 2. No nfts here, so no idea what they’re talking about.
