What's selling me is the baked-in app cloning support for all apps, and the icon theming to help with distractions

I know the hardware is lacking a bit, but if I'm not looking to game hard-core, are there other necessary features Nothing is missing compared to other androids?

I'm typing this from a Nothing 2 that I've had for almost a year. Don't think there's anything large I'm missing, almost a direct replacement from my Samsung S20 I had before meaning no SD card, no IR, etc on either. Maybe the main thing missing which I probably could recreate with other apps is Goodlock and it's configurable gestures for edge of the screen but I've unlearned those macros and am fine.

I have an s21 now, and as much as I enjoy the oneUI-specific theming, I've learned to not rely on it too much. especially since the phones we're given at work don't have any of that lol
