    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.

    idk about crazy good value. They have good value but not great, other companies have caught up. If someone isn't interested in the design, then they're losing a huge chunk of the audience to others. They should've kept a normal design with better hardware like Oneplus did back in the day but ig that'd be too expensive so I think I understand why they did what they did. The Nothing phone 2 is awesome in every way it's just that the cameras aren't that great, like it's the same hardware as the Phone 1, yk you'd expect a small upgrade in cameras or something for the price hike and stuff but they didn't. Hope they can get big enough one day to compete better, other companies need to reduce prices ASAP, they've gotten out of control. They can try getting some photographers from youtube to help tweak their camera software just like they did for the Nothing Ear with DMS. That'd help them squeeze out whatever potential their cameras might have.

    ​@@aaravnagpal6469 Second NP2 user here... Short answer, no. There's only 1 essential notification glyph. Whenever that one is on, I know I have a text message or a missed call. Only people who I really trust and who are important to me have my number. The rest of the glyphs light up in different patterns according to what ringtone or notification noise you use. There's several different options preloaded and then there's a feature to upload your own sounds and have the phone figure out the appropriate matching glyph pattern for it. Works great. That being said, you have the ability to customize each app and each little notification that app can give you, to make a different noise, thus making a different pattern on the glyphs when it comes through. Truthfully, I haven't bothered. I might one day. But for now I enjoy just having my essential glyph on demand and then my standard notification and ringtone when I'm not on "flip to glyph" mode

    Can the essential mail notifications feature target a folder in the mailbox ? If so then your issue is easilly fixed by creating rules in your mail service. Create a rule that moves shop sites to a shop folder, game sites to a game folder, familly and friends mails to a personnal folder, etc.. Then get the notifications to target the one you want.

    Hey Arun, i really enjoy your content and usually 100% agree with your take but for this one i think you have just misunderstood the reason for the LED notification as you can still set regular notifications for things that you need to be aware of. And for the important LED that stays on its so that when you do end up looking at your phone you know there is an important message of some sort instead of just the flash that you would get with any other notification.

    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

    If you remember, Xiaomi had a phone, which has one single dot of led on top of the screen which you can customize the color, for whatever notification you want. For example if you have a high priority, you can set it to red (or blue doesn't matter). It is persistent, reliable, yet simple as hell. Release in 2016, Xiaomi Mi5❤

    The amount of questions and cool factor people have given my Phone 2 is worth the glyph and the design alone. I don't think 1 week passes without someone asking me about it. I also like the glyph notification because it just flashes quick letting me know I have a notificaiton without my whole screen lighting up taking my focus away to my phone. It may be a gimmick but I really like it. I've been a loyal Samsung lover for YEARS but I haven't regret going with the Phone 2 at all.
