    It should have been called the “nuffin phone” Much more relatable.

    Everyone: Why do all phones look the same?

    Also everyone: All it has going for it is it’s design

    I’m all for this. I’m a big fan of OnePlus but they have for sure lost their way and Nothing seems to have that old OnePlus philosophy. Being a big fan of stock android, this is really interesting to me

  22. Dru Anubis

    July 12, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    OnePlus sucks now! They should have kept the pop-up camera and curved screen!

    It’s just the hypes that Carl made. Not a single thing about “nothing phone” is special. I repeat, it’s just the gimmicks that attracted you to the point of “thinking of buying”.

  26. noyeahno

    July 13, 2022 at 10:29 am

    It looks nothing like a phone to me.

    why put glass on the back of a phone if it wasn’t transparent, Nothing has done the right thing..

  29. John Paul

    What is nothing phone? 
    Nothing but a most hyped cloned iPhone(body) OnePlus Nord 2 with some useless LED’s at back and Stock Android OS.

    We’re so used to the same things that we don’t appreciate new products

  33. Sajjad Haider

    July 13, 2022 at 1:57 pm

    Midrange specs, iPhone wannabe design, stock Android and a bunch of LEDs. Might be a decent phone, but why are all tech YouTubers suddenly obsessed with this?

  34. Paul Valickas

    July 13, 2022 at 2:26 pm

    Never by android phone. Well, unless apple stops making phones…

  35. edward enock.M

    July 13, 2022 at 2:41 pm

    I don’t know why, phone tech is no longer exciting… They do just the same basic things 🤣.. manufacturers should stop making phones every year just to contribute to global warming measures since phone components are part of global warming issues when being extracted

    I learned more about his accent than the phone.

    Ya, it’s a phone, just a phone likes others after you put case on.

  44. Russhel Adarna

    Looks like a phone the usual its just it has its own design android nothing new thats why its called the nothing phone copy design from iphone 12

  45. mike mike mike mike

    There’s a good reason that the Big 2 phone makers do not make clear devices. Once you’ve been using it for a bit dust and gunk will find it’s way in making the phone look undesirable, even with the IP rating. However it’s something I’m sure they are aware of. Which means that they are only doing clear devices for the introduction of the company and it’s philosophy.

    OMG, what is that?
    Nothing
    Hmph, okay🤷🏾‍♂️

    I’ve bought little-known Chinese phones before and one thing that they seem to fall down on is the GPS signal strength. Have you tested this or, if not, noticed what the performance and accuracy is like in regards to GPS?

  48. Tek Queen

    I think of “NOTHING”

  49. Prasl tgk

    Nothing special, too easy to copycat. Stupid idea

  53. The Jagged Age

    Nothing to be excited for here. Unless they’re going to sell it for 39.99, Nothing doing.

  54. Nick Cox

    July 14, 2022 at 12:02 pm

    Love the look of this phone and at a great price point. But IP52 is so low. I’d much prefer a higher IP rating than some flashing lights.

  55. Ebubededraw

    July 14, 2022 at 1:17 pm

    I think Nothing paid every YouTube reviewer for this. coz this is the first time I have seen reviewers say alot of positive things about a phone that offers nothing else..

    • Phoenix

      July 15, 2022 at 9:22 am

      That, or maybe it’s just hype or “honeymoon phase” with tech reviewers. Not everything is a conspiracy. Look at the comments sections of reviewers, people are “hopeful” of something new in the market.

  56. ZFofficeonly

    July 14, 2022 at 1:47 pm

    Can’t see the cool transparent case when I put it in a cover

  57. dante san diego

    July 14, 2022 at 2:01 pm

    Before: your New Phone has no charger in the box.
    Now: the box has nothing inside.

    And Will cost you everything. Lol…

    Nice necklace dude! I bet the teens at the mall feel comfortable around you and consider you to still be a cool dude that is not at all Dad like.

  65. GOAT

    July 15, 2022 at 3:26 am

    Every year…
    Techtubers: This is the most fun phone I’ve used in years!

    Salesmen trying to sell us junk we don’t need.

  66. BON3Z

    July 15, 2022 at 4:14 am

    its basically a phone where they removed all other stuff you don’t need in a flagship phone. i love it!

    If apple has made this phone this review would be “” wow look at this new great design, look how cheap this is for the spec, wow buy this phone now…. This report was brought to you by Cnet a subsidiary of Apple.

  69. Adia Thama

    July 15, 2022 at 9:14 am

    “What kind of phone is that it ?looks cool.. ”

    … “Its NOTHING really”

  70. Heydd

    It looks like Apple for the poor.

  71. Eric Jair Rodriguez Wario

    Not really europe global pricing is overpriced
    At that price European people could buy Samsung s21 FE, pixel 6, Xiaomi 12 X, OnePlus 9, realme GT 2, etc…
    Besides i doubt that SoC will take the best out of that camera , but let’s wait and see

  74. Fabio

    July 16, 2022 at 1:40 pm

    It’s ridiculous just hype
    Not really europe global pricing is overpriced
    At that price European people could buy Samsung s21 FE, pixel 6, Xiaomi 12 X, OnePlus 9, realme GT 2, etc…
    Besides i doubt that SoC will take the best out of that camera or performance
