Is it just me or 50 Milli's are quite a lot to R&D a smartphone that doesnt really do anything more than the competion. Especially for a startup on their 1st product

A BYD plant being in India explains a lot about the pricing of Nothing Phone 1 in India. The Phone 1 initially launched at around 40,000 INR (~500 usd) but in the suddenly the prices fell to 30,000. This was probably when they started manufacturing the phones sold in India in Chennai.

@@TimelyTurtle would've been true around a month ago. I think Moto edge 40 is the best buy in that price bracket (as a competitor to NP1).

Easily the most interesting tech video I've seen this year.

This is not only an interesting story about making the NothingPhone1, but a good business lesson. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

bro, the fact that company is called "nothing" made me confused so many times during the video

Amazing dive into the suppply chain. Great video!

The reason it took them one year only to develop the phone is because this phone didn't bring ANYTHING new other than a couple of LEDs in the back. Even price and spec wose, this phone can be overtaken by any Samsung A series phone.

Really well made video, enjoyed it very much!

Wow, this is an eye opener for any potential startups that want to make their own hardware and also how most phones develovep. Thank you for sharing this.

Great insights. Enjoyed this video.

Uploaded in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. Thanks

This video is gold... thank you tech altar

man the tone from your last vid is so different. Carl Pei made good and affordable a advertisement choice

And $50m+ later the native camera app still takes forever to save images while zoomed in

Gsus, I never cease to be amazed that anything made by a new company at scale makes it. So much money tied up in (at best) about 3 months - that's crazy! Thanks for another fantastic video!

Very interesting video. Loved this, thank you!

This was a very insightful video. Thank you.

Amazing video and really interesting topic!

Amazing information. Thanks

Awesome video man!

This video taught me something really interesting and yet still underwhelming; You can start a generic android phone company with little to no experience and little to no in-house production, by outsourcing everything including the software and only designing the back glass/ cover shape. I think that should be a thing too Diy phone where you choose the chasis shape and size from 2 or 3 options and then all the other components depending on your budget

I can relate to the whole process and problems being a hardware startup. Very well covered. Whole idea of beating the odds is heavily dependent on the vision of a company and a clear plan to success.

Hatsoff to the guy in 2:47 reading a realllly biggg book to build NOTHING 😅

what an interesting and informative video. thank you!

You've met Carl Pei, the creator of my favourite smartphone ever: the OP7. I hate notches: OP7 had the best popup camera ever. I love curved screens: OP7 had one And everything else was just perfect. Only way to make a better smartphone would be to add a removable battery. Mister Pei, I you release a Nothing with a popup camera, I'll buy your phone(s) blindly.

Good news, the EU is mandating that all smartphones have a removable battery!

Wow. This was so informative

WOW, nice big step upwards!

These types of stories give them loyal fans

I am no expert, but what I gleaned from this, is that we do not need really need yearly iterative upgrades.

Nothing is such a awesome phone and great video man :]

Me: tell me about startups. Techalter: they die.

I love you, Carl Pei and Nothing.

Honestly the first thumbnail on the cutting board was super nice

Amazing, highly informative video. Incredible research and great explanations of the steps, processes and cash ebb and flow gives a super insight into the complexities of this vital business. Thank you for such a well-narrated examination of the realities of the process. No gimmicks, just a great job.

Thank you

Interesting case study. I used OnePlus one and OnePlus 5, infact I am using the same OnePlus 5 since it's launched, it's been 6 years and it still works fine. I guess Carl Pei and his team are unique. If I need to replace my OnePlus 5, I will choose nothing either the phone 2 or 3. They will reach their quality standards eventually.

Thank you for showing us Nothing.

Amazing video! Nice

I have a nothing phone and I have been using it every day for a year or so. The input responsiveness is laggy sometimes and the lockscreen glitches and hangs sometimes. These things might be forgivable if it weren't for a serious flaw with the camera. Apparently the phone has a 12mp and a 50mp mode. You take the same picture with each mode in bright daylight, zoom in, and there is literally no difference between the two images. Maybe this is one of the outsourcing companies cutting corners? Anyway, I won't be buying another nothing phone.

I normally don't agree with your opinions on tech in general, but your ability to gather information, breakdown topics and explain the nuances is stellar. This was one of your best.

Who would've believed anything useful would come out of TechAltar's obsession with nothing. This is incredible.

Ratio launcher by Blloc

🪄✨ Made with SummarizeYT 0:00 - This phone costs around 50 million dollars to develop. 1:07 - Large companies like Samsung or Apple usually start actively working on a new flagship phone around two full years before they are released. 2:08 - Nothing is able to keep that process to about 10 to 14 months with their phones. 3:01 - The first thing those people have to do when designing a new product is coming up with a concept and for Nothing, that mostly happens in Sweden. 3:45 - 17 people in London are tasked with turning concepts into actual products that can be manufactured, including phones and earbuds. 5:27 - Nothing follows the industry standard practice of having four distinct stages of prototyping. 6:03 - Prototyping alone can cost the company 4 million dollars. 6:31 - While the hardware is built, software has to be developed too. 7:08 - Nothing has gone on a hiring spree to improve their software development team. 7:39 - A massive focus area for any phone's software team is its camera. 8:23 - The software stack is put together on their behalf. 8:27 - The development process includes engineering, design, licensing technologies, and prototyping. 9:01 - Samsung outsources about 70 million low-end devices to Chinese manufacturers. 9:24 - Nothing has over 40 employees as quality inspectors and engineers at the external factory. 10:04 - Nothing's manufacturing partner is a company called BYD Electronics. 11:01 - Nothing has a direct relationship with about 20 key suppliers such as Qualcomm, Samsung, and Sony. 14:00 - Cash flow and supply chain management are critical challenges for hardware startups. 14:23 - The company has raised 150 million dollars from venture capitalists and celebrities. 15:00 - Many hardware startups fail due to high upfront development costs and manufacturing issues.

It is a good choice to change the name of the video, I didn't watch the video when the title was how to maks a smart phone

Wow, this sounds like taking a huge risks but it seems in the case of Nothing it will pay off. I believe they could become very good competitor of Apple and their ecosystem but they need more time. Thank you for sharing the information with us through this video!

This was the first time I felt that TechAltar clickbated , The title say with carl and then he is not in it 😶, buy subscription to watch it. wow

isnt nothing using visionox or some other supplier for display?

I've been watching Nothing devices and am very curious about them, but as a former and twice badly burned customer of OnePlus, I'm still a bit leery of Carl Pei.

Imagine paying $50 million dollars and getting Nothing in return.

wow... gees... that's crazy numbers...

Thank you🙏

Glad to know the Company have Nothing to worry about.

Amazing video

Wow Nothing, thanks so much

Anyone know how many years do they provide OS update?

Very interesting video. Although I am firmly embedded in the Apple ecosystem I appreciate the way Android (as a "production ecosystem") enables opportunities for smaller companies to get into the smartphone market. Some kind of ideas can only thrive in a smaller environment and will be beneficial for all in the long run.

Do you think Nothing will be the top flagship company in the coming generations due to their transparency as a company, or do you think this strategy will hinder their growth in the flagship market?

This is amazing .

Come back HTC with a version of the M9+ !

honestly so sad that not enough people are going to buy this phone no matter how much they put into it....

So much money and they still F up the audio quality on the phone (not joking...see some reviews). 😅 Anyway with that out of the way mad respect for a company which shares this info. 🎩

2:11 because they are a small company. OnePlus said the same. It's not small, it just the remnant essential phone.

Display was from visionox the secondary camera was from samsung jn1 for nothing phone 1
