This phone definitely captured my attention from the first moment I saw it. It's so minimalist in its design that it's complemented by the software, which is pure Android. I love both colors and I think they should stay that way with subsequent phones that Carl Pei is going to release. IMHO!

@@TheRealGigaCat well aside from the hardware design, i would say the os is pretty clean tbh. it doesn't have bloatware and ads which already makes it a cut above over many ui's of the world like miui, color os, funtouch os, etc. i do think they need to something special to stand out maybe in terms of looks and feels. anyway, it does look good as of now but we have wait and see how it performs over the years. i personally won't buy the phone 1 as my current s21 serves me well but i m interested to see how nothing moves forward with their next lineup and who knows, maybe i will buy the phone 2.

Samsung 21FE is good, but right now, July 23, on Amazon ( I live in France ), 21 FE 5G 256 Go, sell and shiped by Amazon is 669€ due to special offers instead of 829€.

[@shahrukhqureshiKun]

Really liked this OS tour video. Would love to see similar videos of other OEMs too.

[@BerndBadewanne]

I have to say I am pretty underwhelmed. They took an old Android version, carried over all of the bugs and glitches of the Android 12 UI (e.g. the AoD demo), changed the heading fonts and then added two or three little features. Some of them, like the „blobs“ in the control center are debatable as well. Sure, the Glyph stands out but it‘s not much more than a notification LED and AoD could do. All this with the trade-offs of Android 12.0 and outdated security patches. I‘m personally using a Pixel phone and although I like the look of Android 12.x, the glitches and how unrefined everything is really makes me envy iPhone users sometimes. But I guess this is also an Android thing and maybe nothing that Nothing could have changed.

I can't believe I need to ask this but in the nothing phone, can you set the volume of push notifications/messages separately from the volume of ringing for incoming calls? In the Pixel you can either mute all or loud all. The problem with this is I get 1 call a month so I want my phone to ring when I get a call, I get a billion push notifications a day so I want them silent. I can't configure this on my pixel so I just keep my phone on totally silent. I have missed the majority of calls I get and it's quite annoying.
