    This is really cool! I love watching these behind the scenes videos, understanding why a decision was made, how it impacts things and what does it overall mean. I love how you kept all of the main components about a tws earbud product simple. The earbuds are where you'd expect them, they're placed in a predictable manner, they have support with the indent and the little plastic bit that extend out and the lid is just a lid. The only parts you messed around with are the ones that wouldn't alter user experience much or diminish it. Like extending the outer lip, which looks great, looks like it's sort of vacuum sealed. Or how the lower case is coloured but it's placed inside a clear body, giving it that nothing transparent feel while still giving it a new touch. I also really appreciate how the actual buds themselves have a slight Matt like coating because those glide on the skin much better than glass or smooth plastic like surfaces which stick. That should mean that putting them in the ear probably feels much nicer than a smooth plastic one. I hope you continue to do these breakdowns because I love them! I want to do this someday, all of it looks so much fun 😊

    Hi @nothing / Carl, I admire your innovation so much. Can we expect a neckband from Nothing that includes noise cancellation, multipoint connectivity, and a microphone with controls near the mouth? For example, something similar to the OnePlus Bullets Z, but not like the Z2. I really want to purchase nothing buds but it is not that practical when i use my helmet while traveling. When i search something of Good quality headphones all i see is boat in the market which are decent but doesn't have good quality ANC and while traveling other persons are listening all the sounds while on call.

    i really really urge you to look into the opening mechanism of your packaging. there surely is an even more satisfying way to open a box. the pull strip feels really cheap to me and i get anxiety all the time to rip off the mechanism halfway through. i bet there is an even better clever mechanism that gives you more of the fresh pop feeling you aspire to design that i would love to see on future devices. something like a magnetism or vaccuum and a slide out process instead of a gravity fall down.

    Why didn't you get the S21 regular then? Also big phones don't sell cause they have shorter battery lives, smaller screens, and often have to compromise even in terms of cameras and other feature (wireless charging, for example) to make everything fit. AND because they don't sell well, even if priced lower than their bigger brothers (cause people expect smaller things to cost less, even though that's not how technology miniaturisation works), for them to be a viable financial decision, it would have to cost more than the bigger phones. A significant amount more. Cause economies of scale and all that. So, are you willing to pay MORE for a phone that's got less of everything. Just to have it smaller?

But ya you are right, it is economic unviable to a company make a smaller phone. In my case i am willing to pay more because I understand how this works, but ya, in a general public smaller phone equals an smaller price tag which it's not true specially in this days. So for me i hope they still make a smaller phone ahahahah. Because in this moment my top priority in a phone is buying a small phone.

Apple had two whole generations of Minis that were always 4th fiddle in lineup shots, barely had advertisements and also very often were out of stock at retailers Zenfone is already a niche product so it'll always sell poorly compared to the big guys, and Samsung's smaller line of phones is always the weakest.
