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?

Personally I'm very much missing eSIM support. Since I travel internationally somewhat often - however, not often enough to justify the costs of an international data plan - I don't even consider getting another Nothing phone. (Currently using a Nothing phone 1)

On that note, I honestly don't understand why eSIM support generally isn't more common in Android phones...

my cell provider struggled so much with my current phone's eSIM activation that they opted to just send me a physical sim lol. i didn't mind since I don't travel much anyway

A friend of mine borrowed me his old iPhone for my, recent trips to Canada and South Korea. Both times I was able to get, install and activate travel eSIM cards without any problems.
What's your current phone? Maybe there's a vast difference in eSiM experience between iPhone and Android phones?

But as you mentioned not traveling much you probably don't mind having no eSIM support.
