Having watched this video the other day, the first thing that came to my mind was its quirky features portray a similar concept to the Nothing OS

This phone has a CULT following

Revisiting the cult favorite LG V30, the so-called Digital Audio Player Phone released 7 years ago. With the music visualization glyph feature exclusive to the Nothing phone, I could see this happening as a DAP phone. It could be a separate release from the main product line with an audio version of Nothing Phone.

Things I’ve learned from the video about the LG V30

  • An audio jack
  • A dedicated impedance detection
  • A quality DAC and amp
  • An in-depth equalization

What else? It would be great if Nothing developers could get in touch with the guys from LG. I believe it could become the next cult-following phone similar to the 7yr-old LG V30.

I wish Nothing would make a DAP in their own style (for the audiophiles), the size of Sony NW-A306 (same thickness - 12mm - 0.47″), but with the edge to edge 4.0 inches display (symmetric bezels), of course OLED with 120Hz refresh rate and 3.000 nits peak brightness, no camera because this is a hires music oriented device, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with 8 - 12GB RAM+256GB and microSD card slot (for 2TB ) for music FLAC files , Bluetooth 5.4 (LDAC , aptX , aptX HD) , Wi-Fi 6 , 3.5mm jack with LG V30’s HI-FI Quad DAC+amplifier (or something better) , the biggest silicon-carbon battery that can fit inside , 50W fast charge , USD: Type-C(3.2) , at least 3 years of major OS updates, Nothing OS 3.0 , and (system wide) BIT-PERFECT audio output at OS level on 3.5mm jack .

That would be my perfect DAP , The Nothing M1 .
