Care to elaborate? I am thinking about buying a Nothing Phone 2 but NFT would be definetly a no go.
Writing this on a phone 2. No nfts here, so no idea what they’re talking about.
Thanks :) are you happy with your device?
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.
What do you mean? You obviously have an NFT (Nothing Fone Two).
… you clever bastard…
On their site they advertise that their phones have an NFT library and that you can access them through your home screen. It’s avoidable, but integrated.
I don’t remember seeing any of that… and just checked my phone and their website and didn’t find any mentions of nfts
See Quokka’s comment above
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
