Currently, Nothing has not expanded into multiple phone lines. The Nothing Phone (2) is its flagship, while the older Phone (1) remains in the middle ranking. The 8/128GB model is priced at €320, but for a small premium, you can opt for the 12/256GB option, which is likely the better choice due to the extra RAM that will help keep the phone running fast, and no way to expand the storage later.
The Nothing Phone (2) with the same memory configuration costs about €200 more than the 12/256GB model. It offers a faster Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (versus 778G+), better display (6.7″ LTPO OLED vs. 6.55″ OLED, both FHD+ 120Hz), and a slightly larger battery that helps offset the more power-hungry chip and screen (with 45W wired and 15W wireless vs. 33W/15W for the original). The rear cameras are basically the same, and the selfie camera has doubled its resolution to 32MP.
The Poco F5 comes with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and is a “lite” version of the 8+ Gen 1. In addition, it is paired with a 6.67” 120Hz OLED screen, not LTPO but with 12-bit colors and Dolby Vision. It has a bigger 5,000mAh battery and offers faster charging at 67W (without wireless charging). The 64+8+2MP rear camera is not as good as the dual 50MP cameras of the Nothing phones.
The Pixel 8 is smaller than the phones above with a 6.2” OLED display (FHD+ 120Hz HDR10+). It is powered by the Tensor G3 chipset and a 4,575mAh battery with 27W wired and 18W wireless charging support. Google plans to keep it running for 7 years after launch with software updates and parts.
If the Pixel 8 is too expensive, the Pixel 7a is another option. It has a 6.1” display (90Hz OLED FHD+) and uses the older Tensor G2. Plus, the 4,385mAh battery charges more slowly (18W wired, 7.5W wireless). Support for this one will last for 3 OS updates and 5 years of security fixes after launch.
The Doogee T30 Pro is a gaming tablet powered by the Helio G99, with an 11” IPS LCD, 60Hz refresh rate, 2,560 x 1,600 px resolution, and a built-in 8,580 mAh battery with quad speakers, making it suitable for watching streaming programs.
Finally, the Ulefone Power Armor 16 Pro is designed as a work phone, featuring a tough build, a powerful speaker, a built-in flashlight, an accessory port, and a massive 9,600 mAh battery for long-lasting use.
