And when you gonna launch Watch1 in India try to equip that with E-Sim by default under 15k INR(Because You'll be having huge competition from Samsung Galaxy watch especially Galaxy Watch 4 available for 14k along with E-Sim in it)

It’s very shocking to hear a CEO of a rival company compare their products to the rival in this way. I’ve never seen anything like it, but I think it’s a really cool thing to see.

[@vivekaso]

It's not about big heart, but making people compare nothing products with Apple and not other Android products.. this is thing... He just trying to set nothing product placement in consumer minds side to Apple.. and presenting Nothing=Carls. It's mind game marketing without loosing money... And as they are still not capture significant market share.. it's not at all bad to " to point out" GOODS from top brand...

[@chewthegum]

@@vivekaso "its about making people compare nothing products with Apple and not other Androids" He has also done reviews of Android phones on the Nothing channel.

Always amazes me how Carl Pei reviews Apple's products very neutrally while comparing it to the development and manufacturing process of existing Nothing products. While I'm not a fan of TWS headphones or earbuds myself due to the latency and need to charge, I still commend Carl Pei and the Nothing team for creating such unique products with a real eye for the future.

[@AdmiralulNipples]

latency, tf you talking about bro, have you even tried a pair in the last 3 or so years? or you just hating as usual

[@pimhls]

@@AdmiralulNipples I have in fact tried several pairs of true wireless earbuds and they all have a noticeable latency (even when using the aptX Low Latency codec). It's a simple fact that true wireless earbuds, regardless of the codec or price point, have more latency than the 10-15ms of latency on wired earbuds and headphones. If you enjoy watching content without latency or require minimal latency because of your profession it is vital to have a 3,5mm headphone jack to connect wired earbuds or headphones.

Genius marketing. Such a humble, refreshing analysis of competitors products is only going to drive more people to buy from this brand. I think it’s so important to acknowledge that there are tons of options in the tech market. You don’t see other companies doing stuff like this, and it’s really cool.

[@eyygurke6081]

These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. kzbin.infoUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.

[@IAmAndyC]

My older earpods (not the pro 2) eventually had disconnecting issues after a year of use. While I've had the Ear(1) since release and the pairing has been superb. I ended up picking up the Ear(2) as well, and it's an overall improvement in sound! I do miss the round edges of the ear(1) case though.

[@darkshippo]

I met Carl IRL a few years ago. It was all about the first OnePlus phone that needed an invitation to buy. He was already that humble and smiled. A great guy. He listened more than he talked. :)

[@Antrashorts519]

Not gonna lie, even though I'm heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem and have no interest in changing things up, watching these videos definitely makes me want to buy a Nothing product. Probably nothing to replace any of my current Apple products, but I could definitely see myself buying a Nothing Phone 1 (or 2 when that comes out) as a second phone which I would use to test the Android version of our apps (I'm an app developer).
