I genuinely think you would like this phone!
I dunno...for ÂŁ629 i think i'd rather just get a Pixel for the camera
Anyone have or had the S23 Ultra and the Nothing 2? Honestly which phone is smoother more fluid?
But I'd guess the display and battery are way better on the S23U?

I have both. Honestly, I feel that both phones are just as smooth. I'm genuinely surprised by how we OneUI is performing. Buttery smooth since day one. P2's battery is great; I end the day with about 40% left (I have my SIM in my iPhone, but I do everything, including texting, on the P2), which is the same as the S23U. I have no issue with the P2's display: bright and crisp. I just wish the screen got brighter like S23U (brightness champ).
I'm still rocking the Pixel 7 Pro then. Honestly I'm not hating the phone or anything like that. I think I'm just bored and looking for something new.
My gut tells me wait for the Pixel 8 Pro. Or maybe if I find a killer deal on the S23U I'd get it.

I have and am using both. The SIM from my S23U is in the NP2 as we speak.
The S23U is a flagship level device. The NP2 is not. I would call the NP2 a upper mid tier device.
Using both in hand, the S23U is smoother, faster, has better battery life, much better camera system, and the SPen.
It also has Samsung (that's somewhat of a negative) built in while the NP2 is close to stock Android.
Display for each is close but the S23U is better.
For me the NP2 would be a decent backup or alternative based on cost. It has the glyphs (nice touch) and the NE2 ear buds (real good).
I genuinely might sell my S23U to get the P8Pro. I didn't realize how much I miss stock Android until I got the N2.
One of the reasons I run Nova on my S23U instead of OneUI and turn off as much of Sammy as I can.
Love the device. Samsung add-ons, not so much.
Amazon doesnât think itâs wrong. I tried to return a telescope they somehow sent me two of and they told me the second one wasnât in their system so enjoy it. I guess it depends on the business.That is all irrelevant: whether Apple makes billions or not, keeping a product you did not pay is wrong. You can try to rationalize it all you want but it speaks to the kind of person you are. It is not because other people or corporations engage in reprehensible activities that you should do the same.
Anyway, what goes around comes around
Edit: yeah I just saw @drinkingtea post on what the lawâs stance is. That also explains Amazonâs policy. Also Iâm sure it would cause them more confusion than itâs worth to process the return of an item that their system is blind to.

Nice I'm loving your setups and they're looking pretty sleek... Best of both worlds lol
Sadly, it does not. So, some apps have a black bar on the bottom. đ¤˘
But at least you made an effort to return the item. That is different from not even trying.
Looks slick! Itâs just right not to put a case on it
Yeah I guess so. But I donât judge other people on what I consider this minor stuff. Not my circus, not my ponies. It wouldnât stop me liking or respecting @drinkingtea if she had just kept it. I know people think this little stuff aggregates into the bigger problems in society but my opinion is it doesnât. The transgressions of the ones with the real money and power over all of us is what makes things suck.
Edit: I also am what one could consider affluent now. I grew up poor. The responsibility I feel to âsocietyâ now is definitely different from the one I felt when I was a broke student the world seemed to be crapping on. When youâre poor itâs amazing how many fees you get hit with. Look at all the freebies rich people get. I guess that means my morality is on a sliding scale? Maybe that makes me a bad person by some standards. I donât know.

It's not a GSM vs CDMA thing. The problem is that the phone lacks support for LTE band 13 (B13). In some rural areas B13 is all that is available from Verizon. And even in other areas, B13 support can be important to get a signal indoors. Verizon will not activate phones that lack B13.
As DrinkingTea said, it is legal to keep something a company sends you two of anyways so its a moot point. There is always one person who in a discussion has a problem with something and tells them they are bad people lol.
Store employees are told to not try and stop looters and when one women took a pic of the license plate recently of a looter, she was fired. Can you imagine that? Thats what you get for being "moral" and helping your company.
As for this phone, its looks cool and different but too new for me to seriously consider it.
Thatâs stupid. I would sue the living daylights out of that company. That why looting and this BS is happening because these ******s arenât being punished.
