The CEO of “nothing”, i.e. Carl Pei has been an innovator and visionary from the very beginning starting with OnePlus while Apple and Samsung CEOs have been clueless and idealess for a very long time now.

@@BruceLeeRoy26yeah android at heart but it’s clean and optimized which feels premium. plus the smooth 120hz display. No other brand is doing it at that price. That’s the difference.

I am rocking Nothing Phone 2a and it is perfectly great phone. Everything works excellent, design and software are amazing. Better cameras are great addition to overall fantastic phone.
I will be changing the phone to flagship Nothing Phone 3 when it comes out.

If only they would make sure to have the antennas/bands to work on all three US carriers. I am on Visible/Verizon. Using a qualcomm chip and assuming their antennas, it should be easy, not sure why they don’t enable them as default.
