Biggest issue for me is the pixels offer you the class leading point and shoot camera, Samsung offers you Dex. I do think nothing OS is much cooler aesthetic skin, But without a desktop mode and without being close to caught up on camera processing, it would be hard for me to justify the purchase.

Once upon a time, every industry had or could potentially bring a wide variety of visions, and that choice was welcome. Electronic toys that I had were made by a dozen different companies. Now, we have become complacent with finding "the best" or following the crowd and not allowing enough risks to be taken. Then, when competition arises, the bigger company buys out the small company and absorbs it, removing competition. It's near impossible to break out in an industry when what you create is immediately rejected as "not as good as..." or "looks too similar to..." an established brand, yet people are getting bored with "more of the same." hence smartphones are commonplace an no longer inspiring.

The problem with headphone jack is, built-in DAC is often so trash that if you want good sound you will need to use standalone DAC and plug into USB anyways. And if they use good quality DAC in phones that won't be so cheap and cost will be pushed to people who use wireless headphones and don't want or need headphone jack. For example, I use wired headphones on my phone, my laptop and on my work PC. Let's say I could configure my phone to have good audio output. Good right? No, that would mean that when I switch to other devices I would still get trash sound. It just make more sense to have DAC tied to headphones and connect to all devices via USB so you have same sound quality everywhere, and that way you don't push unnecessary costs to people who don't need them.

And they have endless resources from which to pool from and class leading camera processing. I think succeeding outside the United States and North America might be a little less difficult without the pervasiveness of carriers and the cultural obsession with Apple amongst basically everyone under 25. There was a study five years ago that 90% of high school students were using an iPhone or plan to buy one with their next device. It's disgusting.

@@pedr0_m198 It's very rare for phones nowadays to have a 3.5mm jack though.

I never started a company or named anything... but for a long time i had held that when i do start my own company, no matter what it makes, it will be called 'Nothing'!! Always felt that it is the coolest name... but sigh!

If the founder came from marketing sphere - forget about quality & innovation 😢

Thanks! 👍💪✌

I really really really want this brand to succeed. It has a great vision. An eco system to compete apple. A full community oriented behaviour. This is just everything that I need from a smartphone brand.

just another smartphone like any other smartphone in the last 13 years, 1% innovation and 99% marketing

I own a nothing phone (1) paid $450 USD for it and i am happy with the product, no complaints from me (my previous device was a BlackBerry key 2)

I would try one out, for sure. I just have to invest what little money I have into a phone that I _know_ I'll love. So, it's a gamble to just "buy a phone"... plus the camera is the most important part for me

i used one of their phone, and they will servive 100% , I was blown away by the performance I'm dead sure they will rule market one day

I'm loving the nothing ear 2.

I appreciate Pei's efforts and creativity. Even though the products doesn't deliver anything completely new the idea and approach is invigorating and community based. Furthermore, I'm absolutely bored of Apple and Samsung products. They are far too expensive and lack creativity. Talking about Apple means distinguishing between the area of Steve Jobs and post Steve Jobs. After his death Apple stopped being innovative. But they became increasingly super expensive.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

there are some breakthroughs in using MEMS machining methods to make some really small but efficient liquid cooling loops for thin devices. this could mean leveraging a fair bit more more cpu power, and larger dies.

u can allways find ways to cool a device , the thing i would like to see bilt in phones , it could bring the weight back up to lets say 2010/2012 weights of phones , but i think a smartphone needs is TEG especially in the battery part cause thats the part that gets heat the most , and let the phone have not 1 but 2 batts , when one batt is to hot switch to the colder one and let the other one rest and conduct its heat to electricity to also power the phone , TEG would be the future if we could make it really small , and give a phone heat outlets

Jolla was also very open in terms of interactions with the community.

Great episode. Thank you

This makes me want to buy the Nothing phone and become a part of the community.

you are delusional until you do something in the community

His comments on being willing to listen to complaints or feedback or rebukes… IS WISE!!! Rebukes are like doors opening to…WISDOM! How does a musician get… “BETTER?” By listening to the instructors saying no no no do it like this or try that etc etc … Ever see a brick layer who has years and years of “experience” but no training? They do the same wrong things over and over and their walls look like crap! So experience by itself means nothing, “GUIDED” experience means everything! I knew of a company who encouraged all of their employees to give feedback complaints etc. and they had a form for it. But behind the scenes they were t interested AT ALL in the complaints all they really wanted is to know who the complainers were and then fire them! That company never did or never has amounted to much more than a fraud.

I switched to the Nothing Phone 2 & I'm very pleased with it

I'm just happy we got some nerds who tried to make something in tech industry. We got too many "fake nerds" who tried to pretend to be tech-passion person but instead they are all narcistic profit-oriented person.

Phones are now just commodity items and still people pay upwards of $1500+ for a new phone...with very minimal changes to it year to year. Like TV's, we've reached the point of diminishing returns...so yes it's going to be a tough sell. I do wish him the best of luck.

I don't think it's a bad phone at all on its own without the glyph. I don't think it would be my choice because the camera performance is behind the pixels and Samsung. If it made up for that by offering a headphone jack or an SD card that would go a long way. Or maybe a desktop mode which is one reason I could tolerate Samsung issues. I am glad it's available in the US market though and the work desperate for competition here. But nothing has a great chip in that phone, fabricated by TSMC so it doesn't have the thermal issues that for instance the S23FE will have.

okay wow awesome review, This is really big!! Nothing phones are already amongst the best in the market! 🤩

I’m quite surprised no one in the comments has mentioned how similar the products are to AirPods and other Apple items. That was the first thing I noticed…

Should just be thankful the teacher accepted your work to begin with, since the assignment was an essay

I don't know much about Nothing or their products. In general a new competitor in a mature market is not an easy thing to do unless you have something really unique that no one else has. The iPhone had several unique features over conventional cell phones of the era that made it standout in the market. A 'me too' device not matter how well executed will have trouble in the market even if it is backed by a major company. These phones appear to be a 'me too' product with a quirky design aesthetic, will appeal to some but not sure if it will appeal to enough to be successful.

If i were an employee in one of those internal meetings..id ask the CEO 'so how is our vision and philosophy any different from Apple and what it sought out to do decades ago?'

its funny how the nothing phone lit up looks like an apple logo and before clicking this vid I totally thought it was a video about Apple iPhone

Carl Pei is literally me

Man i cant thank you enough for posting this today. This is the missing piece in my essay on SEO for a mobile market

Think it could be similar to Fairphone, they are different and thus attractive to some. Saw the Podcast as well.

Well I think the big attractiveness to fairphone is that there's no planned obsolescence. Unfortunately nothing is still basically refusing to offer a lot of those repairability benefits, and of course the headphone jack and the SD card.... Drives me crazy that every company removed two very functional legacy ports

@@michaelcorcoran8768 on the Fairphone 5 there is a slot for an SD card, those very tiny ones and a second eSIM. So far I'm happy with it, don't think I'll be getting a 2TD SD card though. 8 years parts is what I find very attractive. And 5 years of OS updates as well as being repairable, what's there not to like. Price is high but am willing to pay it. To each their own as well. Cheers!

I have the Nothing One and I LOVE IT!

Oneplus open got me excited. Wider front display and reduced crease is a positive sign. It’s good to have a foldable tablet in your pocket, but it’s too expensive. For the money they are asking we can get non foldable oneplus flagship and an ipad pro.

I had their ear (1)s, which I did like initially but I've switched to the Air Pods Pro 2 after losing my case, and they're just so much better. No more bugs, having to delete and pair them again DAILY because one side stopped working, and they sound much better too. The ANC is also miles ahead The novel design is probably their only selling point, the technology just isn't there

If Carl ever read this, please make it available internationally :^(. Latino America isn’t just Mexico, and I would love to try the phone.

With 1+ they were initially challenging flagships in quality for midrange prices. That worked for a while until they faded in the background of Chinese phones. Nothing phones are gimmicky and not providing a compelling quality to price ration. They’ve got the hype going, and that’s working for now. Unless they step up their quality/performance at a competitive price, the hype will die down and with it their sales.

OnePlus is a Chinese company. Their customer service is on par with China's notoriety.

That casey neistat watch hella fye🥴🔥🔥

I saw one of these phones on Amazon... and wished I got this instead. I like things that are not overly expensive, unique, niche and as close to open source as possible. Saying that, I wish the Pine Phone worked.

Watching this on my nothing phone 1 and listning on nothing eare 2

I am a OnePlus 6T owner from Carl Pei. It was a revolutionary phone given that it's still very performant 5 years later with 75% battery life (2700mAh left), 8GB RAM, 128GB Flash - that's what apple is selling for their base models this year and mine charges 50% faster and is AMOLED! I have been very critical of Apple the last 10 years they've just been coasting - tweaking the camera and bezels and they definitely lost Steve Jobs ...

Can you do a video on the DRCongo?

I like nothing and there is things that they do different But they should make a ecosystem thing

I am looking forward to get an open it because I can see the screws. what? Nothing .

What fucks me up is that there is exactly 0 options for Resistive Touchscreens on the market, though they are cheaper to make and now it even works with multitouch. Its because its implementation would imply ruining Samsung's market deal with Wacom for their Galaxy Note and Tab lines. People underestimate just how much Samsung leads the market. Even Apple uses Samsung screens.
