Market is very competitive now, as of now nothing has gave us not a single extraordinary thing as other brands are giving to their users. 5 year OS update f...

SrikanthKanakala Camera quality is very subjective… that’s why MKBHD test is the only viable test. The fact that Phone (2) have a very good place in Price/Performance regarding camera performance. It’s just facts over thousands and thousands of people voting blindly… So maybe it’s not to your taste, but then you need to pay more for better performance, you cannot have their cake and eat it too…
It’s just a fact that the camera is not as people as shout in the forum…

For @PardhanSingh, you clearly don’t know how marketing works. Nothing is using almost 0 penny for marketing compare to ALL other brands in the smartphone world. They are just using their Instagram and YouTube, sometimes tech reviewer. That’s all, you don’t see TV add etc…

When people buy the phone, they know that there is 3 year of major update, it has never been hide.
And again the video that compare the Iphone with the Phone(2) is a marketing video that primarily focus on features and what the phone has to offer for its price, FOR ITS PRICE. And it’s always mentioned…

But anyway it seems that people can’t take a foot backward to have an overview of what’s going on, then never mind it’s not even worth trying debating…

Remi F I see this frequently from nothing sympathisers. If someone raises an issue, say it’s a startup (or) say to customers that you got what you paid (dreaming phone 2 is a cheaper phone). on the flip side, compare with iphone and create hype 😂. we are not asking nothing to perform like iphone. we ask perform good “basics”. I still respect the brand.

Remi F the whole post is hilarious the whole phone costed 42 and they expect amazing camera like Google. That takes time RnD 🤣

DevaCS

PardhanSingh agreed 👍

Ash_B

SrikanthKanakala you are expecting miracles my friend things take time just like anything else in life doesn’t grow on trees 🤷

Longer support is better, I agree. Especially regarding the security patches.

But all the other stuff I am always surprised how much people expect and what wonders they think to buy. It is a just a smart phone. 😅

It’s probably me, I enjoy the phone as it is.

First of all I hope you know that the famous you-tuber is an investor in the company!

Secondly, carl in comparison videos never said camera is the best, he asked a question about the value for money. And realistically we don’t take pictures in such harsh challenges and also taste of point and shoot pictures is different from person to person. If you expect iphone like quality it is your expectation do not give any assumed comments, please.

Every one does compare to the iphone because it is the industry gold standard. Nobody compares Samsung to Google or Oneplus or Sony. You aim for the gold standards. In-spite of being big organisations iphone has the best video quality and may be the best non over AI corrected photos.

People of India are not fool, Nothing has their manufacturing unit in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. Please let us not bring this race card, there is already enough negativity in the world with this.

Further to this, please follow rahul, he still uses phone(1) for pictures and they are some of the best. Please stop complaining it is not good. It is worth for every paisa you paid for.

Nothing is the best! Stop crying

Its funny to see the fanboys chirping in support ! As if Carl has done anybody a favor by launching a startup…

Frankly, Both phones are all hype and no show. No marketing is a blatant lie, there is a lot of viral, secret influencer based marketing going on.

Once you get over the useless disco lights and the “poor man’s iPhone” looks, you realize that this is not even a good mid ranger. Basic features like Ip68, proper low light photo/videography etc is missing. Add to that there are no updates !

First lot users of every device are being used as Guinea pigs anyway…

No wonder the mid ranger startup has to launch a mid ranger device (2a) to survive 🙂

Remi F

Samik LMAO your comments is insane xD.
No fanboy here, just an objective user here in the forum to say what’s wrong and guide people.

There is no lie at all in every marketing material that’s been out, period. Else, you’ll need to provide proof…
“Useless disco light” is your way of seeing things. I use it every day, and it totally changes the way I interact with my phone at work while it is sitting on my desk.
IP68 just don’t matter as it is IP68 in reality… it’s been years and years than companies don’t pass those test because they are expensive as fuck and would make the phone most expensive in the end. But tear down the phone, you’ll see the same water protection as an IP68 phone…
Low light performance in Phone(2) is actually what saves the device in MKBHD blind test 😂 so clearly you are not objective over the data. Phone (2) is not great in video and in stabilization yeah, but definitely not in low light lol.
And no updates… well there is 1 update per month for each device since the beginning, addressing more and more bugs each time and tuning the UI to what people of the community want. So either you don’t know how to go to your phone’s settings to update 🙃🙃, or you really have time problem.

Samik

Remi F Alright….considering that I am planning to swim with the phone…let’s consider that IP68 “does not” matter for the sake of saving Nothing Phone’s grace. (maybe all other companies are dumb to get their phones IP68 compliant) !!

You go on and on about Phone 2, but I am looking at the overall picture which includes phone 1 too…infact that was the device that users bought from an unknown startup & heck that device does not even have stable Android 14 till today. I am not even getting started on the low light cam (photo + video) of that device.

Video recording tests the level of maturity of camera software development. Admit that the camera app is still immature. Moreover regarding software the little bug fixes are good….but why are there so many bugs in the first place? !

The best “bug fix” Nothing dev can do now is to open Camera2 API completely so people can use 3rd party camera apps.

Finally customer support & device quality check in different countries (sigh) 🙂

PardhanSingh you are expecting too much from a 3 year old company 🤦

Remi F

Ash_B It’s crazy…

SrikanthKanakala

Ash_B 10K phone takes better pics. Just tagged you in a post. please stop these cover up posts 😂. I like the brand vision. however basics cannot be compromised.

SrikanthKanakala It’s not a cover up, there’s just an expectation that’s unrealistic from a lot of people. You’re referencing a photo taken once, from October 2023 and since then we’ve experienced multiple software updates. To me, a regular camera user, the camera is adequate.

I feel like (not you particularly) some people commenting about this are either coming from, or comparing against an iPhone, Google or Samsung device that not only costs 3x the price but has extensive R&D into their camera teams and software that Nothing can’t compete with (yet). Let’s be a little sensible about expectations 🙏

Samik

Louis ☕️ Does “average camera user” translate to someone who is clueless about photography? Seems so !

Louis ☕️ sir, no company was able to rollout updates faster except nothing. Buyers bought phone 1 on the expectations of getting faster updates and latest security patches. We thought 3 years of os updates is enough to get Android 16/17 full fledgedly but the rollouts have been slowed down which isn’t acceptable. No new features than monochrome icon pack, widget pack, glyph. Even restrictions in glyphs. Still don’t have many important apps like gallery, dialer, messages, contacts, calculator. Still using Google’s stock applications. Which isn’t appealing. The os still have many bugs which I reported hopefully they’d fix it.

We agree that nothing is a smaller companies when compared to peers but still it’s the basic responsibility to provide what is promised right?.

Even custom roms are much better than NOS. They are rolling updates regularly and allowing to fully customise device . Yes, nothing icon pack, widget packs are not working and glyphs are not fully functional as in NOS but still they are better and feature rich when compared to NOS. If glyph api is made available for everyone then it would would be beneficial for custom roms to make glyphs work better.

NOS doesn’t have many customisation options which made tech bored..

Samik I’m an “average camera user” who studied Photography at university, with previous experience in using DSLR cameras. I wouldn’t say I’m clueless about photography, but there’s an expectation that a phone camera for X price, from a company of X years will not deliver the same results as a DSLR, or a company creating devices for over a decade at prices 2-3x the price.

Louis ☕️

I don’t expect a camera phone to produce the equivalent of a DSLR however I don’t want my photos looking like they have been cooked which is what HDR does. Sometimes HDR is great, sometimes it isn’t. All I want is the ability to turn it off.

If you take a photo of somebody’s face with HDR turned on it will emphasise any and every minor imperfection making the photo look harsh and unflattering. I am not talking about filtering and smoothing, just give me what my eyeball sees….it’s not rocket science.

Samik

Louis ☕️ Your photography education is pointless in this context. Smartphone photography is inherently different. It relies on computational processing.

Point here is simple, these 2 phones produce garbage photos and has a pathetic camera app in terms of features in spite of having good hardware. It’s simple bad programming. Other more budget friendly phones with lesser hardware produce far better output.

@“Samik”#p3526

Samik if photography is the priority why not go for s21 fe and OnePlus 11 r or the pixel. I am using phone(2) and am really happy with what I have.

Nothing users exist because of the simply minimalist smooth software which only few people appreciates. OnePlus’s UI feels like a clutter and isn’t well arranged. Samsung S21 gets too hot and isn’t that smooth and powerful. And pixel has it’s own major issues…

So yeah everything has it’s own set of flaws.

I agree there is some hype..but that’s part of the marketing strategy…if u are a nothing user..u should have choosen it for what it is

*the useful part of glyph lights which many find useful

*stable and smooth ui experience that is clutter free and as good as a pixel but without the heating and performance issues.

*The minimalist people who really appreciate the aesthetics and yes the design too.

*It has excellent network connectivity and is reliable for work.

*Excellent battery backup.

…and if that’s not the case…bad decision buddy.
