Only two things stop me from using the Nothing Phone 2 as a daily driver

Regardless of how you feel about it personally, there’s no denying that the Nothing Phone 2 is one of the most talked-about phones of the year. Thanks to CEO Carl Pei’s relentless hype machine, the phone is a hot topic across the techverse. Now that it’s reached general availability, fans are finally getting a taste of what it’s like to use the phone themselves.

I’ve had the pleasure of using the Phone 2 for a few weeks now. I can tell you with unabashed confidence that it’s easily one of the best phones of 2023 so far. Beyond its very competitive price, the phone’s design, features, and overall reliability put it neck and neck with some of the best Android phones available.
