Hello, I had the opportunity to work with a lot of phones during the year, I finally decided to fit a nothing phone 2 towards the end of the year, the first one I received was defective but was replaced. I love the phone, I use it after Samsung s22 ultra. The operating time is very strong, an s22 ultra with me is completely discharged from 6 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon, but nothing can handle it. Its use is advantageous, but there is one thing that is a disadvantage, namely the lack of its own gallery application. Every manufacturer has it, according to my experience, Apple has the weakest and Samsung’s the best that I have ever used, it can do almost everything there, image editing, freehand drawing, me for example I do evaluations, manual ticking is necessary for that, but I also need to be able to sticker a picture with my own logo or captions, which Google Photos does not know. I am currently paying for 3 applications to be able to do these things, which is nothing! Samsung’s gallery does this by default, huawei, realme, oneplus, etc. know it.
And this gives rise to another drawback, access to images takes a lot of time. if you take a picture and send it immediately via e.g. messenger it’s useless because it’s not visible among the pictures yet, I think it’s because a private gallery doesn’t need permission, the access is immediate, but anything I install needs permission and that’s all time, in addition to editing it must always be enabled to be able to edit because it cannot be set once and forever.
In any case, it should have its own Gallery with an editing function, even the crappy Xiaomi has it.
Please think about it, this is a missed opportunity!
I read through the comments and it is clear that many people want their own Gallery. Please!
Another observation is that the display brightness adjustment is very aggressive, it often takes it back a lot, which is not good.
Thank you for your work.
