      Hi Mishaal. Asking this for your future review.

      1. How’s the vibration motor?
      2. How do you find the “gimmicky” Nothing cable, any quality concerns?
      3. General fingerprint reader experience
      4. Any issues with cellular reception/calls?

      And these I believe you could answer before the embargo.

      1. Favorite feature of the Nothing OS 2.0
      2. How comfortable is it to use when laying in bed? Particularly when holding it above yourself and typing.
      3. How big of a difference does it make to use the entire glyph interface vs just the flashlight? Not just for the camera experience but like, looking for stuff under the bed etc. And how easy is it to use it like this (one toggle or digging deep in the settings)?

        1. Hmm, can’t really pick one, I’m just an overall fan of how “stock Android-like” Nothing OS 2.0 is, and I mean that in the sense that Nothing has largely retained the design language of Pixel Android (Material You) and has borrowed many GMS features (like Safety Hub, Game Dashboard, etc.)

        2. Coming from the Zenfone 9, it definitely strains my hand more since it’s larger and heftier.

        3. Glyph lights definitely don’t replace the regular torch functionality in terms of light coverage (btw, in Nothing OS 2.0, you can now long-press the Flashlight QS tile to turn on all Glyph lights at once).

        1. The vibration motor is surprisingly good! When my alarm rings in the morning, the haptics closely match the sound of the alarm.
        2. I always prefer durability over looks, so a nice braided cable is what I’d personally prefer. But I don’t think there should be issues with the default cable, not that you have to use it since the phone supports PD charging. (I’ve only had the phone for 2 weeks, so it’s not like I’d have enough time to experience cable failure if that is a problem.)
        3. I prefer side-mounted/capacitive fingerprint readers still, and there has been the occasional time where my fingerprint wasn’t recognized, but those are just general woes of optical under-display fingerprint scanners.
        4. Nope!

        1. It did not come with a case in the box.

        2. I’ll have to come back to this one, as I can’t do any comparisons.

      As someone who has used the first gen phone, what are your thoughts on the Nothing Phone 2’s design, and would you say it fits in the same vein?
