What do you guys think to this Nothing Company? Overhyped, or Revolutionary? 🤔

[toenyfungus]

I love the fact that they actually try to be unique. The glyph interface the design choices and the software are all top notch in my opinion for the price range

Love how the Nothing Phones are taking us back to the days when phone companies weren't afraid to innovate! It's refreshing to see a brand daring to be different.

Idk how many have noticed. The light in the back circles the letter ‘a’ and the circuit casing design in the bottom as 2 makes it “2a” which is a matured Easter egg sort of design element.

EDIT :- i actually bought the nothing phone 2A 256 gb variant a few weeks after this comment blew up!!!

Arun running out of words for the "... sub to this channel would be (*insert text*)" is funny because it makes me realize how long I've been watching his videos

The 5 minute countdown is for back to back meetings. In an office environment you need to wrap up and get to next steps before bouncing to the next room or video conference. 20m wouldn’t make any sense for that purpose, but ideally its just a setting

That main and ultra wide camera comparison 😵‍💫 Blown away mate. Amazing work 👌

I have a Nothing Phone 2, and i am really glad i choose this one. simple, fast, lots of features and most used of all the Glyph lighting on the back, my phone has been on silent for months now because i see the notification happen. that notification light is so nice, ignore everything on your phone unless you set it up for different apps.

I think the true talent behind the editors of the videos who make the effects on this video goes underappreciated. Well done to you the effects look amazing and flow well with the video so they don't interrupt. I loved the unboxing animation and the transition animations especially.

5:12 they did that in an update after 1 week, this is the greatness of Nothing, they listen.

I miss the small led notifications lights that we used to get on phones. Used to be able to customize each app notification to a specific color. Wish they’d bring something similar to newer phones but on the rear panel instead

[nuffens]

I think one of the greatest strengths is seeing that super well put together UI with a consistent solid aesthetic. I wish when I opened my pixel
it looked like that

[searchy]

Nothings design is a breath of fresh air. But it looks like they're pretty much doing exactly what OnePlus did back then. Enter the market with crazy good value products to reel in customers, and then successively adjust with each generation.

[rosaria]

Using the 2A for two weeks now. Absolute banger. You really have to put it face down, it takes a while to get used to, but this is really the best option for $350.

[alanlegendx]

The nothing phones makes us feel we need "nothing" More than the nothing phone.

[Kbyte]

It's amazing how marketing can rename "boring" to minimalism / blending in to the background /stripping back to natural.... etc.
The power of marketing.

I will buy nothing if I got 10 or more likes

I've been using phone 1 for a year now, mostly because I absolutely love the design. And I'm not a fan of the new one, for now I'm staying with phone 1. Which is also great, after a year of buying a cheaper phone I don't feel a need to swap, which I think is the most important. I've been comparing to really good phones and even when it's not as good, it's still good enough
