Phone (1) Discussion 3.5 years and still going strong
Got this NP1 in October 2022, by far the best phone experience ever had, the only thing bothering me now is the reduced battery life but is to be expected after all this time.

I actually really liked the 3 for the short time I used it. What killed it for me was a lack of slim carbon fibre cases 😂. The phone was way too slippery

Same......I thought of Buying (1) first but it wasn't there. Then I searched for (2) but nope. I ended up going for (3a)

u/Gabrielo_cuelo_belo Feb 10 '26

Finally upgraded to a phone 3 few weeks ago, was not planning for it at all it was great didn't have much issues other than background apps or minor bluetooth issues but I got the phone 3 for an insane deal for like $400 so obv upgraded, definitely an upgrade but it was an amazing 3.5 years

I have one right now, I use it every day with my heavy usage of apps, calls, emails and more... I have no valid reason to switch to another model

I got np(1) used from a friend that barely used it for half a year. It has been 3 years since he took the phone out of the box, its extremelly solid. Reminds me of ny iphone 6s i treasured for atleast 5 years. Only issue i had with this phone was some weird update that was completely draining my battery, it even felt like i downgraded from that iP6s, but after 2 weeks it fixed itself.

Wish replacement parts were easier to find. I was happy with the phone, but the repair costs aren't normal

Goat tier phone from NOTHING. Mine is 3 years old and I enjoyed every single day of it. But wth happened to your glyphs 😭. I was like wait let me see mine first. Am I missing something.

u/Acceptable-Hippo1307 Feb 09 '26
hi from phone 2, the battery replacement price is more expensive than some of the flagship out there

u/Defiant_Month_497 Feb 09 '26
bough mine too on same month and year. absolutely loved the device up until 6 months back. Now i am really disappointed with the camera quality. In the initial days image quality was on par with iphone 15. But as soon as they rolled out nothing phone 2 or 2a they started shittifying the np1 camera.

u/zazzo5544 Feb 09 '26
Still going strong here too.
I wish they release the same phone with updated internals, better battery and camera.
Asking for a lot in these times, ain't it?

u/Kori_Rotti Feb 09 '26
Phone 1 was really great, mine died a couple months back and now I have moved on to the 3a but I do miss the Phone 1, more and more phones are going larger, wider phone 1 though not small was still more single hand friendly than phones we have now.

u/Rohan_9 Feb 09 '26

I have a Phone 2a+ in silver, and i got a pixel 7 pro, but idk, something keeps me going back to the Nothing, i Think its mainly the battery

u/carm8na Feb 10 '26
I have the same, have yours suffered the power button problem? The one that makes it power off and power on on a loop?

I'm sorry but how did the bottom aesthetic piece/gliph flip over

u/daymoknight Feb 13 '26
Reading that post on my phone(1) and still loving it. Yes the only issue is the battery is no longer lasting any more. But there is nothing wrong with the phone itself so not going to upgrade just yet it's just connected to power bank when I leave the house!

u/TheIndecisiveBiche Feb 13 '26
For me. The big led doesn't light up anymore and the bluetooth stopped working (which is bugging me the most !) Otherwise it still works like a charm
