Nothing to fix the phone shouldn’t be fixable I feel that’s why the company named it nothing phone. Nothing to fix even if broken and that’s why I don’t want a nothing phone.

No kidding. Wow…what a very complicated device. Super easily damaged as far as cabling, especially if you’re new to repairs. Luckily Hugh is a veteran! ❤️ The OS overlay, beautiful. The phone itself when assembled, beautiful! But…it is definitely NOT repair-friendly…as many phones are designed to be these days. This one has several weird little quirks and no-boot situations depending upon what you’re doing too, which is extra annoying when testing out what might be broken if doing a repair… I can say, I can only recommend the Nothing Phone to people who case-protect their devices, and don’t drop them much at all.

Hugh, I'd like to point out a misinformation: Fingrprint readers tend to have internal calibrations that come stock with the rom of the android phone itself, without a proper calibration tool, you cannot recalibrate the fingerprint sensor, this WILL not change even when you factory reset the phone. I believe what is happening here is that they didn't put any auto calibration tools like some android phone tend to do to make repair easy, either they forgot or they never cared in the first place, but I highly doubt it has anything to do with software locks considering everything else works fine, maybe they might put an auto calibration in the rom next update.

@Who Dis? fingerprint/face ID data gets stored in a secure enclave both on Android and iPhone and it's located inside of the built-in storage. Fingerprint scanner is just a scanner, it doesn't store anything inside of it. That's like saying that someone can hack Phone's PIN code by replacing the touchscreen because that's the only way it could be typed in.

2 things to point out. The metal cover over the bottom ribbon cable for the LEDs apparently slides off after taking out the stopper and sliding to the left with a pick. Also, the way you remove the battery is not by pulling up, rather pulling at an angle, about 30°, you took out the entire plastic holder that's held down with a way stronger adhesive than the battery adhesive.

@@NK-Repairs Agree - most people can get away with using a hairdryer to heat the back and phone opening kits with tweezers, guitar picks, spudgers etc cost less than £10 (at least in the UK). So while it's not completely DIY it's still at least accessible. Sourcing OEM parts for the phone, however, is a different story (counterfeit parts, actual original but serialized parts, etc etc). Battery replacements are probably the most commonly needed replacement these days and it's not as easy as it was back in the days of the S5 and below. Having to heat the back of the phone to replace the battery is more annoying now but it's somewhat more acceptible these days since it's only needed every 3 years or so. But having it intentionally hard to get to with difficult adhesive is explicitly anti-repair - it doesn't take a genius to know that the battery will need to be replaced in the device's lifetime. It doesn't even need to be adhered in THAT much since it's got the back of the phone and its surroundings largely keeping it in place too.

Fantastic video, as usual, Hugh. I have had this phone for a little more than a week now, and I'm quite happy with it. But it's disappointing to see that it's such a chore to replace parts. Also, I'm happy to see that the USB port is modular since that is the part that often dies first on me. Bit disappointed that the charging coil is just a cover, I thought that was the one part that was exposed lol. Hopefully, they'll address the fingerprint issue and I hope that nothing breaks on me, since I don't know how first and third-party repair will be with a small new company. 0:57 There is a pull tab you were supposed to use to rip the box open 12:25 As a photo/video light it does basically nothing, but it's a fun gimmick to show to people. I have had a couple of times that I saw the notification light without feeling/hearing it buzz, I never have notification sounds or ringtone on so for me this has a bit of use

I think the reason for fingerprint sensor pairing in android is because of the SELinux security built right into it, to prevent the possibility of the phone being hacked, and normally the fingerprint sensor hides behind this layer. The only way to change it is to pair the new fingerprint sensor. Some manufacturers provide the tools for this, while others don't. A good thing security wise, but not so much repairability wise.

I like the idea of the LEDs in the back but I don't think they are of much use. A phone is meant to be carried around and used very often. This means at some point it WILL drop no matter how careful you are. Using a bumper or a case is a must but this covers up the back. It is the same with all those shiny glass backplates. They might look nice but why even bother when you have to hide them in a case anyway?

I hate how Samsung mid-rangers look. While they may not be riddled with bugs, the mid-rangers come with sub-par specs that just can't make OneUI function smoothly. It's only sensible to buy Samsung if you're getting its high-end models.

@@abhinavranjith8086 yeah you might not like that. But they're making flagships look good that way. Still those phones are repairable enough. Look at A52s 5g. That phone is gonna have 3 major updates and performance is no less than 855 snapdragon with 120hz display.
