[@AliArghavan]

The reason Phone 2 scored less than Phone 1 is the "price to performance ratio". It's significantly more expensive so reviewers should be more critical. It's priced like a pixel so it should have the same camera performance (more or less).

[@willzarke]

but Pixel also has a worse chip inside, worse screen (on the regular 7), and overall a less interesting design. I think the closest comparion would be OnePlus, tho Carl himself said they are different (of course he says so). But I agree with the notion that price to performance ratio, it is less compelling this year.

[@santaclaus1304]

Most of them gave review just because NOTHING gave a strict structure to follow and not to talk or share about other than some specific specifications as you may have noticed! Compared phone 2 with just phone 1 but not with any other phone of the same category.

[@MuiKaHo]

@@willzarke having a worse chip barely affects performance. but a camera, you can physically see the difference. Unless the chip is like 5 years outdated... than its barely noticeable.

[@ho4ng30hoanng7]

@@MuiKaHo it does actually. Pixel 7 performance is really a coinflip bc tensor and pixel ui is inconsistent across patches. It can get from "buttery smooth" like those reviews claims to stacks of lags and bugs, and even random heat up. I've used the phone for 6 months and boy I couldn't stand it but sell away bc the battery is terribly inconsistent, it can be a fullday or die some where in the afternoon with the same tasks, and it get insanely hot on mobile data which also affecting the battery even more. The May patch was a nightmare for all the tensor user that google took extra time to release the next patch half a month late, yet cannot revert it back to april patch consistently. The pixel 6/7 is only for those who badly want a good camera in a tight budget and willing to be the experiment target of google, or they are blinded by bias reviews

The drop of rating from 7 to 6 could be hugely due to the bump in price to the bump in performance delivery, where the segment performers totally change. Camera software I believe is the major bummer.

[@udaysingh9_11]

Good point.

[@Glade4]

This entire video is just him being defensive about his phone instead of taking the feedback and people actually love him for this somehow.. like complaining about the guy from LTT reviewing the phone and completely discrediting his issue. He says each generation is same as the last one, but thats how all phones work, EVEN THE PHONE YOU PRODUCE. You are not supposed to compare phones from last year, of course changes are small year over year. But its the bigger picture that matters.

[@udaysingh9_11]

@@Glade4 I think it is about the perspective. They want to be like apple. Apple has an identity because they are not changing frequently. I guess this is what he also wants, to not change frequently and have an image so that anyone can go and recognize the brand easily. And i do not think he was defensive at any point. I am not biased but trying to understand what he wants from his brand.

[@karthik_gvs]

@@udaysingh9_11 let's not compare a highly mature organisation with a startup atleast as customers. Apple releases a product after they make the most of the hardware with the software. Be it macro, autofocus, telescope or highres zoom cameras, face unlock, highres display or the chipset performance. They take their sweet time. Phone(2) is not a completely cooked product by the time of release.

Hats off to Carl.. no other CEO shown courage to come upfront and explain what's going on with their products. Good job Nothing!

[@zerog0v]

Input / personal hopes for the Phone(3): Glyph update - make the two smallest stripes in the circle RGB and let people assign custom app notification with custom colors to it. Let them blink in the color and then always fade back to white. (for example the reddit app pings a notification - assigned right or left strip lights up orange (or color set by the user), if u see it at the moment you immediately know which app notified you and if it's set to hold the notification it slowly fades back to white so it doesn't mess a bit with the glyphs aesthetic and concept of the monochromatic phone) Them being symmetricial will hide it, if there's an issue with RGB stripes not being able to reach the same peak brightness. Big improvment in useability and it opens the floor for sick new unique animations. - the obvious one: optimize everything possible out of the camera. Otherwise all the changes from phone(1) leveled it up to be perfect in this day and time.

Really loved watching this and knowing for fact that the organizers are involved with getting user input and addressing the issues in their products in a proactive way. I hope to join the Nothing brand members as well in the future as I relate with the vision of organizing life. My main turn off about every phone now a days though are the notch/punch hole cameras and I hope we can transition to an under display camera set up as the norm one day.

[@Ezekielslim]

Bro reacts his brand by watching it on MacBook , that's savage

[@sreejiths370]

I don't know whether you'll read this. I'm a phone 1 user and I'm experiencing quite a huge list of bugs. Starting from the camera shutter and sometime doesn't respond and I feel like after the recent update the camera quality is reduced. The reason why I bought this product is because I heard that you guys care about the customers and provide quick bug fixes. I hope you'll do something with issues I'm facing in phone 1 ❤

[@dreamfyre1811]

I believe they fixed it in 2. So buy 2? 😅

[@YTBrowny]

Hey @sreejiths370 I got a message saying that Nothing OS 2.0.0 should drop for the Phone (1) next month!

[@pardeepsinghbajwa5097]

Phone 2 to is big leap buy it 😄

I use gcam. It’s way better

Phone 1 user here and I don't have any of these problems. 🤷‍♂

Steve Jobs also cared a lot how the device looked inside.

I ordered my Nothing Phone 2 yesterday. I was between the Nothing 2, S23 Plus, Oneplus and the Google Pixel 7 as my secondary global device. I chose the Oneplus because of its clean design and interface. I can’t wait to receive it and play with the backlights

I am a Product Architect in wireless. Very to happy to see a CEO who is so grounded , getting the cons from reviewers and put it for improvement. This company will become big and successful in the future for sure. I thought of buying VIVO x100 now i will wait for nothing 3 phone. All the best.

[@gannon5409]

What a great approach, and commitment for improvement. Love that you did this video! I'm looking at getting one of your phones. I've had my current LG G7 for 5plus years now. Thank you. Love the design and minimalist zen style

[@jayysharma]

WOW! Loved the video. I do own a Nothing Phone (2) and I'm planning to buy the Watch too launching on 26th this month. It's just crazy how you kept a straight face talking about the joke "Nothing has changed." You guys are amazing. I really hope for you to become the best smartphone and ecosystems brand. Cheers!

[@小笼包-m3o]

I got a nothing phone, and for the first time i dont miss my iphone. The design is what got me buy it. The best looking android phone 100% and very fresh.

[@Matheus.t.e]

For me that recording red light reeeaaally needs to be added to the flashing notification stuff and more importantly it definitely should be the essential notification period, or at least an option.

[@ezrabrownstein3237]

I think this guy strikes a good balance between accepting critiques while still defending the choices he and his team made on a fundamental level. Its good because it shows he cares about his product and has passion and vision but also knows that passion can blind you to flaws.

[@bencherian]

1:58 If that doesn't make any sense then why Carl Pei criticised S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra. I agree nothing has to keep a signature design but criticising other brand was not a good thing to do

[@strangefire2130]

Well s22 ultra and s23 ultra are extremely similar in design (almost nothing changed) But here nothing phone 2 changed desgin quite a bit

[@mr.nobodyx2492]

I never tried Nothing phones, but after reviews watching. Me as a UX Expert, Nothing phone UI/UX and also Product Design Looks INSANE simple. All black white, light, metallic elements! Good JOB! Minimalistic and aesthetic look!

[@ratzlord3125]

I think it's possible that the verge rating was relative to the phones available at that price point. Phone 1 honestly offers the best and refined user experience among all other competitors. But phone 2's price has a lot of good competitors and it's kinda difficult for phones to go very wrong at that price. It's just human nature that people trust a good ol brand more than a new one. However I'm very happy that nothing phones are growing so fast and good, and it will definitely keep improving in the future. I just feel that mid range phones have a much higher chance of growing if it's a comparatively new brand.

[@ajassharafudeen]

I never bought brand new devices, even iPhone XS. Then I decided to go for a brand new one, looked into Amazon, found NP1, and ordered without looking much into specs. It's been 4 months, and I absolutely love this device.

[@lalhimpuiamahima7319]

The Verge are always biased towards non-apple non samsung device. From windows phone days to tiday. Always.

Verge hires freaks. They're more like lgbtv agenda team than tech company

[@bekind1881]

I respect you for what you doing and how you seem to care about what people think about the product even if it's just one person... continue doing good brother, this gonna blow.

[@johns6876]

I like this CEO, he talks with great passion. Looking forward to seeing more from Nothing. Hopefully a fold phone in the future, that I'd call 'Nothing²'

[@rushabhyedke6185]

3x lense was the one missing factor in Nothing Phone 2. If we check the competition, there are better features offered by competitors. I was about to buy Nothing Phone 2, but being camera nerd it's something I prioritise more. Hope they work on it. 😊

[@anugrahashok2914]

Absolutely agree. And this half understood reviews by Carl don't really make up for that

Love how he defends the negative reviews with proper answers❤

3:40. I like how you're quite possibly the only person to get his name right. Even Arun calls himself "Aaron".

[@lenadams854]

A rune, as pronounced

If that’s how Arun pronounces it, then that’s the way its supposed to be pronounced

[@xulqarnaen]

​@@Reslen01no, it's an Indian name pronounced as Arun not Aaron

[@Reslen01]

@@xulqarnaen How does that matter? Are you gonna tell someone that the way they pronounce their own name is wrong?

[@xulqarnaen]

@@Reslen01 I'm not, I'm just saying that it's not how his name is actually pronounced. He pronounces it as Aaron because he is British but it's an Indian sanskrit name which is pronounced as Arun.

I just got the Nothing Phone 2 yesterday, in absolute love with this device. Only issue I found is that its a lil too big for my comfort, but i think i am getting used to it. Thank You for making such an amazing product!
