Hopefully the Nothing Phone 3 has RGB. Whos with me?! Grab your JerryRigKnife here: www.JerryRigKnife.com The smartphone world hasnt done a whole lot of changing recently. So its nice to see Nothing come in with the Nothing Phone 2 to make some aesthetic changes to the notification system.

My first impression from your durability test is this phone is seriously nice looking. Unfortunately all glass while nice looking is incredibly fragile to drops. So by the time it goes into an otter box, all that pretty is gone.

[@NonLegitNation2]

unless otterbox decides to do a clear case, which would be the most obvious thing for them to do considering the back LED strips.

[@rithwiksai832]

My phone 1 has been dropped more than 15 times. I have no screen protector or a case. Once it fell from my pocket while I was riding at 60kmph. The screen is yet to crack. Except for a few scratches, there is no significant damage. It is a surprisingly strong.

[@tobybartlett]

Shocked it’s not IP68 rated at its new higher price.

[@malcewicz]

The price is higher because this one has flahship level specs, unlike phone 1 which was mid all the way. Also the testing for higher IP ratings is more demanding and requires a lot more hardware to do it which of course is expensive. Nothing is still a fairly small company

[@RobertLiamWhyte]

Yeah and it certainly doesn't look simple to repair if it gets water damage

[@pixels_per_inch]

@@malcewicz It's still mostly mid range though, the only upgrade is the new CPU which can also be found on other mid range phones.

[@GhostofYouZ]

​@@malcewicznot really a flagship level lol

[@marquisthomas2036]

Just wondering; during a tear down, do you rewatch your recording to reassemble the device to make sure that everything is in its rightful position?

[@Kriistofor]

Their marketing team did a marvelous job on this one. Especially nice to see them collaborating with youtubers such as yourself. Several things to notice: this is by far one of the fastest teardowns since device was announced - that's what happens when a company gives right info and right tech to the right people i haven't seen anywhere that there is a claim about a phone being this easy to repair which is awesome you did a nice "thank you for choosing me" with these 2 videos (bend test and teardown) which in their own way go hand in hand with their marketing which is a nice thing to to :D all in all, nice to see my brand of choice teaming up with my youtubers of choice

[@superNova5837]

The subtle illumination at the end of the inside of the phone from the lights is so damn cool

[@Stealth86651]

I still don't get how people destroy stuff so often. Even when I did manual labor and driving heavy machinery, the only time I cracked a screen was when it literally got ran over, still worked fine though. Do people not use cases or something? I also don't get the LED's. There's an entire screen for notifications on the other side and I can't remember the last time I was staring at the back of my phone. Most people carry their phone in their pocket/purse, so they'd be pulling it out to look at it anyway, might as well be the screen that actually displays information. My old phone just had an LED that shined different colors right above the screen, so I wouldn't have to flip my phone over to respond to a text like a mongoloid. Just seems like a huge waste of battery when you can just have a dot or text on the screen instead.

[@tezcanaslan2877]

The way screens died for me was because they fell flat to the ground or I sat on them.

[@mjc0961]

Accidental drops happen. But yeah, I'd rather just have an LED on the front of the phone than that weird glyph system on the back. A notification LED is the single thing I still miss after moving from Samsung Galaxy to Google Pixel. Although with no bezels anymore, I guess no LED is preferable to them putting another hole in the display. I already hate the camera hole. And anyone who says "you can hide it with software" is full of it, I can still clearly see the camera in the screen.

[@neilstothard]

[@DisturbedM86]

I'm so lost on this. I looked into it loads over the last two days because I love the design and wanted to swap to it....problem is...I have a s21 ultra and if you compare it all to that (which you can buy new for £350 btw) it's well overpriced and under spec'd. Yes the CPU is better. But after that it loses out in all regards and that's hard to swallow. Also before everyone kicks in with updates. Nothing says they'll do 3 major updates, Samsung does 5 meaning they'll get updates equally even if s21 ultra is a 2.5yr old phone. Pure disappointment.

[@mjc0961]

I was looking at what's behind the hype for these phones as well. All I could find that holds up is the LEDs on the back. Everything else is no different from any other phone. And like you said, it's overpriced for what you get.

[@jameslindstrom4797]

I purchased this phone, coming from a oneplus 7 pro. The reason I purchased this device is not because of the LEDs, but because of how smooth and snappy early oneplus (And now Nothing, thanks Carl) devices are. My oneplus 7 pro is going on 4 years now, mid 2019 if I remember right. I got the 6gb ram model and this thing is more responsive than my friends S20 that came out around the same time. Is this device overpriced, yes lmao. But when I can get more than 4 years of snappy and agile use out of my phone, its far more important to me than things like a camera or processor speed for gaming. Now I just pray that somehow, dbrand makes a case for this phone. I dont care how they do it, but I want it. Edit: My friends phone is the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, not the base model.

[@DisturbedM86]

@@jameslindstrom4797 I had the 7 pro also. Loved that phone, the pop-up camera failed on me but not mechanically (oddly), camera would pop up but screen would just be black. I don't doubt the snappiness of the phone, but still find it a shame they could keep the price lower or the specs better. If the base price was IP67/68 and had the 12 gig I think they'd be laughing and be in a far better spot because they d be hitting a lot of people's top spots, which inturn equals more sales and more profit. I'd also like to see more baked in camera functionality. Does it even have the object remover function for example? That's a good send of a feature once you start using it (and I say that as someone who is quite apt with Photoshop).

[@jameslindstrom4797]

@@DisturbedM86 This is purely a silly view on my part, but I have never cared much for IP rating. End solution, don't drop your phone in water :) I bought the 12gb model and I agree, for the 599 base price, it absolutely should be the 12gb+256GB model. I bought it for a few more reasons, I love the apple style design choices, but I hate apple products. I like that they are making things more inclusive like the headphones, which I got a discount when buying as a bundle. Just more personal enjoyment kind of things.
