Nothing Phone: The OnePlus successor for 2022? 🤔

[@Soraviel]

Looking forward to that, maybe he can bring back budget smartphones that are powerful and also still have value for money as well. That's what originally made one plus dope (now they have fallen from grace).

[@obidean3964]

And slowly getting expensive year after year 😂

[@Soraviel]

@@obidean3964 whelp economics bruh

[@_chan.burn.21_]

I felt like this was inevitable from the beginning, but I am definitely looking forward to it. Nothing has the potential to start over from scratch and learn from the issues OnePlus had throughout its time before becoming an Oppo clone.

[@dhirajgawande007]

Imagine getting an empty box after ordering.

[@Darknessevolves]

You get what you paid for XD

[@amzathroashan558]

Bcoz its nothing

[@Hahahatoots]

1st of all the "flagship killer" is a strong start then get the pop up camera of op 7 pro, the back panel design of MI 11 ultra, 5000mah, fast charge, and lastly a godlike os like oxygen is enough to bring the nothing phone in the smartphone scene.

[@1903JPG]

The only thing they would struggle with is a camera.

[@MeHighG]

This aged like butter in the sun XD

[@aravfernandez]

a clean software and good optimization could be the need of the hour. ATB Nothing. 👍🏻🔥

[@FlossyCarter]

Am I the only one that likes ColorOS better that Oxygen?

[@AndroidCentral]

ColorOS has been pretty good for a couple years now

[@FlossyCarter]

@@AndroidCentral I don't know why people hate it on the OnePlus 10, I actually like having more AOD choice's and more animations.. looking forward to what Nothing comes up with, they definitely came out the gate swinging with the Earbuds 💯

[@drww1]

I feel that everyone knows that components aren't that expensive so a lower price below that of the redmi/realmi something that pushes them. A solid camera with a mix of Google's ai with Samsung/Sony's sensor zoom mesh. A good length of battery may be around what the pixel 6 sits at A clean UI and of course an SD card slot & headphone jack

[@FrankB1110]

I really wanna know what the board were thinking when they came up with the brand name, yes it'll get people to talk about it cause it's wacky but it will get old extremely quickly

[@freddybell8328]

1.Stock android appearance with thoughtfully added features and more customization. 2. $600 price 3. 8gen1+12gb ram 4. It doesn't need four cameras on the back but two good ones (wide+ultra wide) with the same large sensor, sensor stabilization, and tof sensor for focusing would be nice. One thing they could do to differentiate the camera hardware without adding more cameras is to bring back variable aperture. They could also use a different focal length than what most smartphone companies use for their main cameras. I'm thinking 35mm equivalent vs the 26 or 28 most use. This would lend a more professional look to the photos and would allow pleseant looking portraits of faces without the need for a telephoto.

[@warbot2544]

at max 2 cameras are enough, give me a goood screen and processor

[@habandajopsynshong8659]

Right time he might end up taking all OnePlus costumer especially with the current confused OnePlus

[@techtt6213]

The should make the right choices, don't clutter everything up, make the camera natural or give users the option. Get the software right by keeping it simple and mostly stable. Great build quality and sleep design. Pay attention to little things like good haptics, good microphones and nice speakers. Also get the camera righ (photographer nerd here) don't go crazy on oversharpening or reducing noise way too much. Keep it simple. Colors should be natural and not be oversatured (or give users the choice) exposure also shouldn't balance everything out, soms parts should be alowed to go dark, making a nice natural contrasty look. White balance is also important here. I'd also love seeing a big sensor used for both the 1x and Tele camera. Having a big sensor with a good fast lens on the tele can create some nice depth, Pixel 6 Pro does this well. Also video compression should be a thing, smartphone video is still way too big for the quality of the files. This is definitely not going to happen since the industry decided this but still a notchless screen would be great. For me personally the pop-up of the 7 Pro is great but many selfie shooters don't like it (and the noise of the motor) so I don't think this would work. But having top and bottom bezels just barely thick enough to fit a camera would be better than a punch hole, you can also fit bigger speakers in there.

[@AnilDasari1812]

Currently 1+ is just a sub brand of oppo and not like earlier 1+ hope nothing will bring something for customers 👍 in your opinion till now which android version is good in all aspects ???

[@v3xman]

That phone on the thumbnail reminds me of my Mi 9 Transparent Edition

[@SicErikTech]

Is it just me, or does hearing Nothing remind you of Nothing Records the late NIN record company? 🤔

[@jacoblittle3209]

Yes, i got a oneplus one way back in the beginning and am now on a oneplus 9. I've gotta say that the brand has changed a lot and is starting to feel like every other phone. Although in the middle of the numerous oneplus phones I've owned I did buy a Samsung s10 and absolutely hated it. I'm looking forward to a new obscure budget powerhouse. Hopefully something you could get for under $500

[@arbutac04]

OnePlus 5t! I still have it, although camera app freezes at times and AT&T no longer supports it, I still use it for my daily mobile apps. I just want something similar but more robust OS and 5G.. more RAM and faster processor is a plus

[@Ca7a96]

OnePlus is the next HTC..

[@noelnobi1699]

A very minimalistic but unique design Very clean software but not stock android (like oxygen os) Not gimmick cameras like 2mp macro, just a very good single camera setup is fine for me A very good processor but not flagship level (to bring the price down) A unique design in accessories too (like oneplus charging cable) A very good formfactor Very minimal packaging That would make me buy this phone . . my hopes are high

[@yuiwayui]

"Nothing is reportedly working on a smartphone". Takes me a split second to figure out what I was hearing.

[@coscottn]

Shoulda said nothing is working on something at the beginning

[@Naratis]

They could get away with doing something more along the lines of pocophone with a more favorable design

[@nateayi]

I think it might not succeed if it happens. Nothing is a very small brand and the average consumer simply does not know who they are, and building brand awareness with the general public is HARD. Nothing would need to make a phone SO good that even the general public know and want to buy it, and that's likely too much to ask. Enthusiasts just aren't enough.

[@Kayfabe-226]

Carl Pei is my Hero and I'm praying he can achieve shaking things up with a Successer to original One Plus phone...

[@warone100]

Team up with hasselblad just to blow peoples minds!!

[@PaulTincknell]

I hope they call a new phone Nothing Essential or Essentially Nothing.

[@firdauszainudin7118]

Hopefully this time around no annual $50 price increment like Oneplus used to have. Otherwise, it's just Oneplus 2.0

[@justdewitt2140]

If they do anything closely resembling the OP7 Pro they have got me hook, line and sinker

[@freddybell8328]

What would be similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro

[@thraxberserker9960]

All I want is a phone with Samsung's hardware, Googles software and OnePlus charge speed lol

[@jacure123]

Essential design with a slimmer chin

[@ShriRam_P1_Dalal]

A stock Android with decent level of clean hardware and decent (not extraordinary) cameras - a Nexus /OnePlus / Essential spiritual successor..!! I'm very intrigued. If it works as anticipated, sign me up please - just remember to have that headphone jack and micro-sd slot.

[@almed23]

I'm looking forward to a vacuum smartphone

[@kameswaranjayakumar7470]

5:33 I can see my city's name in the background 🤩. I feel happy and proud 😌

[@JoshRobertNay]

As long as it's more than just a boring slab candy bar, I might be interested in it. It's getting to be where phones are like trucks (aside from the Tesla Cybertruck of course). They all look like each other and there's only so much differentiation. It's why I enjoy using the Microsoft Surface Duo 2, great hardware and software and a unique experience. Give me a unique experience from Nothing and I will be excited to buy it!

[@daTribbleMaker]

Ok...so let's break this down abit..my takeaway from your video is mainly the issue of optics. You make it sound so much more complicated for them to overcome that hurdle than it is...and actually one of their options you yourself stated was a benefit earlier in the vid- their ownership of ESSENTIAL hardware.. And honestly let's be real about optics..once you get to a certain megapixel the rest is handled via processor and software, just as with DSLR and point and shoots. Also if Nothing wants to compete by releasing a "no frills" or a ONE-PLUS killer then I would expect optics to be around the same as Samsung's A13. Essential is only 1 of the avenues they can go . They could partner with LG's optics partner (Schneider-Kreuznach) as LG has washed their hands of the smartphone business and no longer on the market(or won't be by the time this phone would be in production)...AND that's just another avenue. But you knew all that already, or should have😉 And I'm just spit-balling here..So there are many paths to victory here depending on whom they wish to attract. Here in America I'm not to familiar with the brand Nothing(hinthint sample me baby!) But I bet by what I have seen(keyword seen, swagalicious!) they want to hit the sub $400 Mark usd..which is basically those with A13s and Nord 10 5gs. Nokia and Motorola have tried and failed-ish to achieve that market share..As I believe Samsung is just giving away the A13s so the brand has exposure(hey look I got a galaxy)Honestly saying I have a galaxy doesn't mean as much or carry the gravitas it once did. That ended with the S9. Of course take my opinion with grains of salt....along with a lime and tequila shot. Samsung here(and possibly worldwide) has literally flooded the market with multiple, mulitple phones, each week having a different one as it's flagship. That could project to some as a company trying to please everyone everywhere..and that sometimes backfires. (Ex. Sony) It could make them look as if they are unsure of direction, and that could make them vulnerable. That would be a good time for a phone like this to hit the market.. Partnership with Telcos would bring it home such as T-Mobile or MetroPCS here in USA. It would be nice to see a company put out a sub$400 phone that could take the wind out of the mighty Galaxy's Sails..Not a knockout blow, but a hit that would require stitches. This company seems to have the mindset to not to take over the market, but take that piece that ONE-PLUS could have had; the everyday person who wants a phone they feel is worth the price, not the hype. Ok..maybe take it with 2 shots.(call me Nothing!)

[@superheroverse3941]

Looking forward to a new fresh design language from Nothing .

[@zawhernos2541]

Nothing Please bring the headphone jack Custom rom support And flagship killer pricing You guys can be the king if you can bring it everywhere

[@anthonygomes4140]

They want to be 🍏

[@drdread]

What a well put together analysis of a post-Carl Pei Oneplus, and a great video overall. Thanks guys

[@edvinkappel21]

IF the nothing phone is good i may buy a the nothing phone in the future. i have a Oneplus 8 pro that i am finna use for 3 years.

[@thungaparameshwar]

Hit like if you've read the article before this video , He just read the complete article

[@Rehmankhan-zi2cc]

Or i guess, they made the article from this video ..?

[@akankshuchaudhari1401]

Only Nothing can save OnePlus from becoming Oppo ! Lol !!!!!!😂😂😂

[@mithunnaskar]

If Nothing launches a phone than user's like me will definitely be in by giving a farewell to their OnePlus phones in which Oxygen OS has been killed by Color OS😎😎

[@khushwantgaur]

Me watching this video just before nothing 23 march 2022 event

[@emjbostwick2068]

Wish they could of bought LG's Phone division..

[@ceesparxxx]

I should create a phone and call it the "Everything Phone." Lol. Could you imagine that video on KZbin: "Nothing vs Everything phone." Lol. Definitely a catchy title for sure 😊

[@ricardojackson4384]

I hope they don't call it nothing. Nobody going to buy that. Their sales are going to be nothing.

[@eliyahugoldberg5016]

I had a 1+ 7pro I was very happy with the fast action and big screen if this nothing can do all that 1+7pro can do and more for less then $ 1,000 I would buy it

[@BuildTimeMC]

OxegenOS 10 had the best ui I like it much better than Android 12

[@Photo0021]

There's nothing to look forward to.

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

I'll take a nothing burger along with my nothing phone

[@sayandutta6622]

Very insightful. Thanks, Alex!

[@alexmacgregor]

Good video Alex

[@CourtMejias]

Essential x OnePlus really.. kinda

[@gopalvirtual]

Stop saying it’s a successor

[@kreigerbailey3550]

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!

[@Michaelmyrers0]

Should we buy nothing?

[@sttonep242]

I'll buy it if it comes

[@ytown4]

Something about nothing

[@meowmixes98]

I will not buy anything that is translucent.

[@medroastt9888]

The main issue is in the brand name... 'Nothing' projects negativity/inferiority or lack of confidence.

[@doge3783]

lol who cares about name if it gives best specs at good pric. It also sounds funny while using it in any sentence like I have nothing , maybe thats why they did it to get ppl talk about it

[@mikeb7117]

Nothing to see here.

[@ashishpatel350]

rebadged oppo phones lol
