Well for me, anything from Nothing.

"always a vibe" God you're cringe.

Legit 😂

seen this comment on every tech video bruh

😂😂😂 say less

Same thing I said

bro for real, they gotta hold back all the features

Fr How did i miss that. Give them enough to keep satisfied and enough flaws to crave.

That’s been a practice since, what, 2011-12? All the OEMs can afford to give a very good long term phone around the $400 segment. But that’ll eat up into the sales of their big $ flagships. Precisely why Apple operates ONLY in the premium space, where it has segmented the premium space itself.

That’s like apple’s modus operandum.

@@SGN334 Perhaps, but I wouldn't be surprised if Marques thought of that since he has a seriously meticulous eye for detail.

​@@cody7068stop you're embarrassing yourself, are you 12 ? 💀

Lol it looks the same .. who's complaining about that when look at apple and amazing for the most part.

agree

i miss the colour specific LED on my old Galaxy S4, thats a feature i miss a lot

still using Samsung J7 and the notification light is just so useful!!

Not much use if it's on the back. Usually people leave their phones screen up on the table. The small LED on the front was still the best solution. Too bad everyone dropped it, but I guess it's just a matter of getting the max screen size so theres no space for it anymore.

If you want it back get Always On Edge, imo i like the look of multicolor notification leds better but AOE gives the same functionatility...

That's definitely just a cost adding gimmick. I don't need to know the watt every time I plug in. It's not like a device pulls different wattages every time you plug it in.

a cost-adding gimmick in a Nothing phone? that would be a first

My brother got me that and it's super helpful. I thought it would be a gimmick but I find myself hunting for that. Great idea.

If you’re worried about your energy bill then I definitely would want that.

​​​@@AbhishekKumar-vx9ub it actually does. The wattage depends on the battery's temperature while you're plugging your phone in. The phone will not always charge at its maximum wattage. Having a watt indicator is not a gimmick, those who say otherwise are definitely anything but tech savvy

Why are you not sold?

This has been a feature on most android phones for years well at least on my OnePlus and google phones that I've been using

​@@bestofsaluteyeah, I saw that and thought back to Android 4.x days. Glad to see it's still around.

I have always searched for that feature in custom roms but never found it

This was done by Microsoft a long time ago in their windows phones.

@@bestofsalute copium + Ratio

Razer also, I do miss that RGB logo as a party trick. One of my favorite phones I've owned

nothing phone 2 doesn't seem that exciting at all....dont know why....it just does not click....from cameras to design to even software...i feel like is it something i need or something i even want for 599!...i cannot understand who this phone is for!!i feel like this is an entire gimmick upgrade cycle...cameras need to improve a lot....and why the hell does it keep getting bigger!...even in software the little things that are give to us....is it even worth it!!...do we need that?...i think a decent midranger would do much better than this...maybe moto edge 40 series, pixel series, iqoo 7 series or even samsung a series....even the charging cable was a scam...make the tip transparent doesnt make it a transparent cable!!

@@DemonSlayer-vh8uythis is bait

@@DemonSlayer-vh8uy shhhh

The glyphs are a neat gimmick but they’re kind made obsolete by AOD imo.

They have hired ex OnePlus staff and focused more on the software than Phone(1).

“Outstanding” seems pretty exaggerated to me

@@cosmiuz2246 Not really. It's a fair statement compared to other companies' lack of innovation in the GUI.

@@ElvisChibundu little changes, less to talk about lol

Already happy with the software support for my Ear (2)s. Those buds has made me more interested in owning a Nothing phone, but they would definitely need better cameras for that to work for me as I take a lot of pictures.

@@Blob8879 Yea you're getting buggy software that's been a problem since iOS 15

​@@ElvisChibunduhe talks about what he thinks is important to a given product's target demographic

This! Finally!

Such a basic and great idea that’s underutilized.

Use the launcher square home, paly with the settings is pretty dead on with extra features

Optional snapping and dynamic sizes rather than just lg/xl would be slick. If I want to break free from normalcy and have my icons look wild, all over the place, and all various sizes, that should be up to me. That sort of freedom would be top notch.

Ugh I miss live tiles and windows phone. Would still be up to date today. The lack of apps really killed it.

How does it look like an iphone 4? To me it shares more in common with the transparent-back Xiaomi Mi 8 or HTC U12+, phones from 2018. Not old enough to be retro, not innovative enough to be futuristic. ASUS and others have already taken the approach of slapping programmable LEDs on the back of a device (on their laptops), so that doesn't seem like much of an advance there, either. Which isn't to say I don't like the device, but it seems to be going more for "character", like Marques pointed out, and not doing anything particularly disruptive.

​@@zivzulander I think they're just talking about the iconic shape

​@@AbhishekKumar-vx9ubthe shape is a metal and glass slab, pretty much like every other phone out there. If they are referring to the flat metal sides, yes, that's reminiscent of the iphone 4 but that's about it. There isn't Apple-like chamfering, the cameras don't have a similar layout, and the back is completely different. You might as well compare it to the HTC One, which at least was an Android phone. To me it's like comparing a modern car to the Ford Model T: sure, you have the same basic idea of 4 wheels and a boxy-ish shape that carries people, and most people will understand the reference, but I'm not seeing much of a resemblance otherwise.

1. It is not at all retro futuristic. 2. It looks nothing like an iPhone 4.

@@AbhishekKumar-vx9ub Thanks for interjecting on my behalf. I'm not going to engage with the other replies. Geez. Some people just enjoy being toxic & combative. (Please let them stay off Threads.) I glanced at the transparent/white Nothing Phone (2) and took note of the general shape, back cover, and side bezels, while viewing a few Shorts about the Glyph interface. The first thought that popped into my head was, "If I were evaluating abstract art, I'd say that piece looks like it's clearly influenced by & borrowing liberally from Apple's iconic era of iPhone 4 design language for styling (and iPhone 5 to a lesser degree) , while utilizing current or even futuristic tech (the updated Glyph LED functionality.)" Maybe the vibe of being an homage - to Jobs & Ive's early Apple iPhone collaboration - comes across better with the choices made for the transparent/white variant, or maybe not. It's okay if other people feel like it looks nothing like any OG iPhone from the annals of history, and more like another phone entirely (from a more recent year.) Art is subjective. I said what I said!

true, the software is indeed a step ahead. what's even more interesting is that there are just 7 people behind this

Same, my ROG phone 2 has hit upwards of 60°C, and not once have I gotten the "Phone is warm" notification

They brought over a Pixel feature 😂

Downside of having 2 layers of material on the back, heat gets trapped more easily

Nah its common if you use camera with direct sunlight to lots of phones but for wireless charging, its a new one

XD

😂

This would have been perfect opportunity to launch with perfect the camera for the price point keeping the current price. I find almost a dozen of phones with its current USP excluding the glyph. honeslty speaking glyph is good for non amoled screens. Most of the info can be done with always on display by keeping the phone screen upwards.

It's gonna be like $1800 by then lol

For that price with a top camera system it would have been interesting.

Nah. They should cater more for midrange territory and play safe since they are new. Don't want make the same mistakes like one plus. They were bent to be a flagship killer and look what happen when they fly to high.

Agree 👍🏽

You work at Nothing? Edit: I'm not being sarcastic 😂

@@thanos879It’s the same on a Google Pixel

it's too weird that brownlee don't know how to adjust vibration strength in Google keyboard settings

Phone(2) owner, yeah it sounds that simple but the issue seems to lie somewhere software related as the keyboard haptics seem to vary incredibly differently compared to say the haptics when you're receiving a phone call. The keyboard is quite possibly the only time it is as loud as it is.

​@@karimvideo1maybe he just didn't remember. it took me a while to remember the setting as well.

How is that unique? Thats just like a google pixel ui on steroid. One UI is the one that unique.

Marques Brownlee is a salesman. There are far better reviewers out there.

Indians and their cringey ass comments challenge (impossible)

watch mrwhoosetheboss and see yourself change your mind, he has far superior content filled video and a better conclusion for each aspect of the phone, whereas marques has no concrete conclusion and goes over random details of the phone

@@sharzo7728best reviewer is Dave2D. The most succinct, the most emphasis on price to performance value, and often shows teardown and benchmarks

Yeah, everybody here has a radically different opinion. Guess that means I'll have to watch what I like, and not what random internet people recommend.

I don't know why phones can't just use some pixels to pulse a bright colored light, emulating an actual notification light. Oled screens can do this easily, just need the software to do so.

​@@DemonSlayer-vh8uyi would buy pixel 7 between those phones for its software. I think it is better than nothing even though it looks good. A pixel is a pixel afterwards

@@reverseg5016 Yes, and for most of them long clicking doesn't do anything, and for third party ones, it will just go to the app-details or something like that.

So just put a line under it or something for long press

@@cooliipie When would this line appears? If forever, takes space just for this...

Nothing acquired leftover patents and staff from Essential and even uses the name for features in their skin, so this makes sense. Hopefully they do as good a job at updates and improving the computational photography of middling sensors

I loved my essential. The normal camera was such trash however. I had to replace it based on that alone.

@@freemandrew color photos did get to the acceptable range after about a year of updates... And the b&w sensor took some moody shots. I gave my ex one for xmas the year they came out and installed ported gcam, but by the following xmas, the system camera was close enough and less janky

@@dyscotopia They wont, I Studied carl pei modus operating long time ago... I am developer , and I was the one of the first adopters of onePlus, why I'm talking about OnePlus ? its because it was the same company run by Carl Pei, and Why i'm talking about carl pei? guess what ? Nothing Phone Company is founded by Carl Pei and he is the CEO. Now why I'm giving all this information? Well, if you don't remember, back in 2014 OnePlus made a partnership with CyanogenMod to include a better operating system and offer value to the open source community, but quickily after oneplus break records in sale, carl pei just decided that CyanogenMod was of no use, and started a fight with the cyanogenMod developers, so what he did ? he just threw buggy OxygenOS (which some ppl liked it) just because it was same thing as AOSP. After some time he just swapped oxygenOS for ColorOS, I mean color OS is not bad, but they did that to cut expenses as they have a third party company that manage colorOS. But what is the problem with that? Well, ColorOS doesnt even give the kernel source of their roms properly they are not open source community friendly. so Carl Pei is not even a bit interested in the open source community and I bet my a*s that after some time they will put color OS in the nothing phone too. So the modus operandis of Carl Pei is, Create a white label company, hire a third party company to do their phone, do some design that nerds will like (that you literally can do with any phone case) (not) develop a operating system, caliing it innovative(but you know next phones will use color os anyway) but if you look properly its just pure android with few extra features. Make a cheap phone ( one plus one, nothing phone ), make a second phone(oneplus two and nothing phone 2) (expensive with old specs), make a premium phone with premium price that you can get in any samsumg galaxy ultra on discount. Any coincidence or I need say more ? Don't buy nothing phone ever, its just scam.

​@@teste-yh5dfI see you keep copy and pasting this -_-

And if you think deep enough, you can almost ascertain who was behind OnePlus major operations when it started it's journey. Carl probably took a bunch of smart decisions leaving to OnePlus popularity if you think about it . Nothing is proving it now!!!😊

The other great thing is they don't lockdown the phone. I will always try to support a company that gives users the choice to unlock the bootloader

Hi ! If you don't mind, can i know the name of the phone you are using for the past 7 years ?

@@josand3277 Huawei Honor 8. It's taken a bunch of drops and bumps. I do have a soft case for it that helps absorb those bumps. I've also replaced the battery once, which is tricky because it has rear glass that you have to soften the adhesive and remove with a heat gun. It's very slippery without a case. I've never cracked the screen. It's been a good phone that just didn't quit.

It a great phone if u not a heavy photography lover

@@ganeang759 guess we'll see how I like it, then. I enjoy photography as a hobby. Not super serious, but I want a decent camera in my phone.

@@TheEricSchubertwell if ur not a professional or something I’d say it’s a pretty decent mobile for you. Coz even I’m into photography and yet I don’t have much of a decent camera but this phone is good.

I switched from the Pixel 7 for this and I'm very impressed with it. Great software, great performance, amazing battery life and the cameras are more than good enough. Not once has the phone randomly shut off on me like my Pixel uses too. I'm very happy with this. Can't wait to see what Nothing does with the Nothing 3.

How is it so far?

Awesome idea!

Dayumn_____that's a sick idea bruh

sell it to them NOW!

duuuuuuuuuuuude

Good idea ! Could also use glyph for countdown photos ;)

it's mkb HD for a reason 😉

because of the light? 😂😂😂 GIMMICK

@@caocheranofarinha it's kinda gimmick but thats because back light has never been mainstream, i wish all phones did something like this , even if it was subtle that adds personality along with some features, the industry's gon stale and even tho i don't see nothing wrong, what Nothing has done is super cool

its a gimmick because it is basically a giant notification light that every phone used to have. Today, with most people who are into tech (and even many more who are not) owning a smartwatch, which is way better at informing you of notifications.. what's the point??

@asimmoideen5960 always on display is so popular to the point where Apple finally put it on their iPhones as well is because it's proven to be the best way of looking for notifications at a glance. Nothing Phone is like trying to reinvent the wheel but worse. They made a really cool improvement to the always on display which I like, but that ironically conflicts with their own back disco light gimmicks 😂

@@hirukashiro5995this is actually better since I can just set what I want the notification from and get notified of that as rest is irrelevant so I don't want to check which one it is everytime I get one. AOD is fine but it's a distraction most other time.
