What owners report

  • “I have watched those videos and they show burn-in after an alarmingly short amount of use. [...] Adding one more reference, here is a recent post to /r/monitors showing burn-in after 2 years of constant use Pixel clean cannot run if the monitor is constantly receiving signal. [...] [edit] Furthermore, 3 year warranty covers your burn in, so I guess they would happily replace your monitor once the burn in normally visible. [/edit] Get back to us about your burn-in after 8.6 more years. [...] I've experienced burn-in on my pixel 3a after 2 years 2019. My Nothing Phone 2 is from 2023. [...] For reference, I don't use automatic brightness and it's almost full-brightness all-day (except evenings).”

  • “[...] [1] [2] [3] In my case, 3205 hours of use: - 428 pixel cleans - 1/3 brightness (my room is pretty dim and I often code during the night) - static control on - pixel shift on - apl low - sub-logo dim on - corner dim on. [...] My phone (Nothing Phone 2) fails to capture it no matter how hard I try (even during the night). [...] I am never going back, worth every penny I spent. [...]”

    “[...] On Android that's definitely the case (more people do so to increase the lifespan than to hack apps), but the desktop market progresses slower than mobile in terms of software. I was running my Xiaomi Mi 6 for 7 years thanks to LineageOS, and it would've been longer if I hadn't dropped it the second time (the screen cracked, battery was 60% and repair wasn't worth it). Now I'm running Nothing Phone 2 am switching to LineageOS once the support goes out. [...] The bootloader is locked down since OneUI 8.0 and you can't do a thing about it, gotta buy a new one after security updates are gone. Phones are very cheap now (can get more expensive soon tho). For $200 you can get a very decent Android (Snapdragon 7s gen2, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage + other very nice stuff such as OIS, 144Hz etc.), buy a wireless display or cast to TV and use it as a workstation (obviously you need a wireless keyboard and a mouse). [...] Via Windows Updates? And Windows software doesn't usually require you to upgrade to the newest version possible (however many games started to require W11)? [...]”
