The title had us in the first half not gonna lie
Lmao
Totally 😂
yep haha
Lol
Marques: Bunch of amateurs. 😏
I wanna buy this phone just so i can say "it's nothing" when my friends ask what phone it is.😆
Half bread is better than Nothing!
Legend!
If this ain’t meee😂😂😂
Damn, you're so smart 😂
Now you make me wanna buy it🤣
I have so much respect for that title. Someone deserves a raise

It's not that impressive tbh
For me it’s all about the price point if Carl goes back to the 1+ pricing strategy in the phone performs great in regards to its operating system then this is a win
he won't this time
nothing phones will be similar or bit expensive then the competition
Nobody actually wants an OG 1+ style device in the current landscape IMO. Nowadays the camera quality, which is the one thing lacking in all flagship killers, is one of the most important specs when considering a phone- otherwise you'd see $500 motorolas, which are essentially flagships with budget cameras, being overwhelmingly popular, and yet, when was the last time you've seen someone with one?
@@airshaped ya know.. i think the picture quality thing is overrated. i loved my google pixel 2 (12.2 mp) and i'm still using my samsung s9 (12 MP) . i don't need a 108 MP camera. And most people don't need it. how many times do you take a picture with your phone that you have to scale to such a degree that the "detail" in the photo matters that much that a 12MP camera doesn't cut it . I hate having to pay in performance for that 1 feature that nearly nobody really needs.
thw price is like around 350 to 400 by the rumors
@@itachiuchiha-el9xz Exactly just like 1+ used to be.
Carl Pei wants Apple to hire him so bad. He's been auditioning for almost a decade.
Don't worry He will get Nothing! From them
Differentiating based on design. I feel like that's what Essential tried to do, with the ceramic/titanium, square industrial design and the first notch (beating Apple to the notch and bringing back the square edges). It also promised to be different (maybe a gimmick) with the accessories using the connectors on the back but those never came either.
funny thing is nothing acquired essential back in 2021 Feb
I love squared edges. Brings back memories of Sony, when the hip design was a thing. Plus I don't use a back cover.
Not differentiation. It looks like a DIFFERENT iphone.
I did like the beautiful green coloured essential phone though
Essential phone was awesome, especially after the price dropped. My girlfriend loved that it was small enough for her hands and it got updates right until the company died. Maybe the glyph interface was a holdover from Essential's plans. They had some crazy future ideas
When their name plays against them
They should have the same looking charge indicator in the lock screen so you can keep your phone face up
On samsung, Always-on display tells me the exact battery % and how long till fully charged
@@iamshikhersrivastava then the oled burns in
Yeah like an AOD
@@darthraider450 not really if you have the option of tapping it to wake the AOD on different parts of the screen
@@darthraider450 Samsung phones change the clock layouts every now and then when AOD is on for a long period. I'm not sure if this is a feature on other phones, but for me, I've been using AOD for months now and I see 0 burn ins.
Props to the person who made this title. Truly amazing!
They changed it
@@AdnanAmir69 what was it ?
@@ullasbabu1732 Nothing can beat the iPhone
That title tho! 🔥
Andrew has my full respect for quickly referencing the HTC ONE M8. That was a quick call back. Nice!
I appreciate that the volume buttons are not on the same side as the power button. I have a S22 and I'm constantly hitting the wrong buttons. I've loved all the Oneplus phones I've had (6,8T,9P). The software support is my main issue.
Nah bruh. I love having volume buttons on same side. I have S22 too and i increase and decrease volume all the time with ONE Hand. It's so good. Rather than using two hands to adjust hand to increase/decrease volume, you do it with a move of the thumb. I don't really use fingerprint button, just simply put your finger on fingerprint sensor when screen is off it instantly unlocks and its faster
@@gurisingh284 you don't need two hands to increase/decrease volume if the volume button are on opposite site of the phone you can do it with your index finger and it's more comfortable than volume button on same side
@@gurisingh284 bruh all your fingers except your thumb are literally on the left side of the phone.. what do you mean?
@@gurisingh284 You use two hands to change your volume? What if one hand is occupied? 🤨

It’s difficult to attract every types of people, but edge-cutting designs always change people’s perspectives, and I think that is what nothing have to do to pursue their goals.
They made iphone 12 replica with lights at the back....
What? They puts some lights on the back buddy, that's not cutting edge. Its will be an average mid range phone, how that will change peoples perspective I have no idea.

What a title! 😂😅
The thumbnail is everything 😂
Speaking of the cases for the Nothing phone . I reckon for the lights they should put cut outs on there cases so that we can still see the lights . That would be a good idea.
Yeah 👍🏻
Bumper cases are really nice because it’s super drop resistant and keeps the back exposed. I have the rhino case on my iPhone
C'mon dude, Europa is dope! The ice surface is believed to be 10-15 miles thick! We can't even figure out how to dig through it to see what's under!
"way more that we don't know about the phone" 🤣🤣🤣
it looks really cool and has got me interested in the phone. i feel for them to nail the release is if they get the software experience right and the cameras as well and it would be an easy buy fior a lot of people.
Including software updates/support. As an enthusiast device, I feel like timely, long term software updates are something important for their target market. Including long term updates could be a way to also stand out from the pack
I doubt the cameras are gonna be good. I mean it might be like OnePlus cams but not like the pixels or iphones for sure
@@aravfernandez what are the odds? Some people are gonna take your bet.
not necessarily an easy buy per se, i'm reaaally interested in this phone but having to switch back from iOS to android will be a big hassle, and i have an apple watch so not sure how that would work, don't want to have to sell it. maybe if Nothing make a smart watch i could switch to that alongside the Nothing phone.
Unfortunately the Apple Watch wouldn't work with the Nothing Phone. If you are an iOS user and I to that ecosystem it's probably not worth switching but that is a personal decision. It would be interesting if Apple opened the Apple Watch to Android, even if there was some decrease in function (similar to using a Wear OS watch with iOS). I don't think they would lose iPhone sales but might increase their revenue with the watch.
Love your sponsor. Keep them coming.
The camera layout is 100% from the iPhone 11/12
Also, the charging indicator on the back is cool, but if you have and AOD display you can just look over at your phone to see the charging status, without having to have your phone on its face or reaching over to it. The recording light is a must tho.
why is the recording light a must?
@@_invencible_ Because people should know when someone is recording. (when they are not supposed to)
@@ldevin_05 but most people put a case on their phones anyway. you wouldn't see the light
@@_invencible_ Probably the cases will have a space for the light, but if they don't then they can cover it.
@@ldevin_05 there will definetely be 3rd party cases that cover that light. I feel like it's a gimmick
what he’s talking about with the carl pei wave is like basically how an underground indie music scene feels
I think they should do a frosted glass effect case it would be epic
Would be awesome but i think it'd interfere with the flash lighting.
That's a great idea
You could probably just put a film on it that someone will probably make eventually
can you imagine your phone synced with your tesla lights and when you lock and unlock the car the phone lights up with the car in sync i would feel so cool every time open my car with my phone .. the nothing phone kinda goes with the interior of the tesla ..
The symmetry of this phone is perfect to me. This is what I imagined the evolution of the essential phone would have been like. It’s simple yet didn’t compromise in build quality.
I never listened to a podcast and I just realized how interesting it is.
It looks amazing.
Instead of the light portion being cut out for the case....what if the case was made of a material and a certain level of thickness that could really defuse the light??
I use something like that for my iPhone, it's regular rubber on the sides but the back is a bit translucent and milky white, would be perfect for this phone's back
Just make it a clear case noo?
@@j.rjunior5584 what's the point of it being the first and only phone with this kind of technology then...?
I loved the title. It says two things at the same time.
which is the same as saying Nothing
Best title ever seen, kudos
Your title….. Pulled us all in for sure!
Incredibly disappointed that the phone isn’t going to be released in North America, I was looking forward to getting one! Hopefully that’ll change after launch and I’ll be able to pick one up
Fr
i heard they cann't sell in NA due to some regulation stuff
You won’t get nothing
You'll get nothing XD
they dont trust uk
That title that damn title
Hahah when Marquez said “sound familiar?” Immediately OnePlus came to mind
Thumbnail is golden
It’s a statement phone. It has style and it fits kind of a specific style subjectively I love. Hopefully the phone works well and performs its tasks perfectly
Oh... it reminds me of my Nokia 5110 with a transparent battery that light and blinks when there is a notification.😆
That was such a cool phone!:)
The ending 🤣.
ive been using iphones since 2008-09ish and recently made the switch to android and i couldnt be happier. i'm getting the nothing phone as soon as its available in the US
damn! That HTC feature... dotted display my father used to have it with E9+.... It was mind-blowing....
I believe that when these companies start up and attract one type of crowd, that should be maintained while expanding.. therefore having multiple products to satisfy the starting base and also the enthusiastic crowd ..
How difficult can that be .. they already make multiple products. Why are not tailor made to fit the audiences , making multiple general products products isn’t gonna work, or to bring back repeat customers.
The back cover could come with a different cuts to make visible those light effects like that case could be of a solid plastic material parts attached to each other as we can imagine those parts attached to each other according to the shape of the light with some spaces in between and sides of the light. This could be a whole new revolution in mobile cases to differentiate NOTHING phone from others….hmm interesting & could be a nice strategy if people out there in this world wants that.
Thank you 🙏
Europa is NOT boring, props to MKBHD for sharing about Europa. I can't wait to see what kinds of discoveries we make under the icy surface of the moon. Will we find a lifeless dark ocean? Or alien life form?
I watched the video over a dozen times lol
hey Marques, just throwing an idea out there. In these podcasts, you could use the shape behind you and show a screen instead, where you show the review/preview. While you two keep on discussing as usual. I would love to see you two talking, keeping audiences engaged
The Title its so professional.
10:00 Samsung still has that kind of cases for both front and back of the phone. And you can fully customize it

I’ve had the OnePlus 6 for years and it’s UI still feels amazing compared to other androids.

The title tells everything
the fact that I want this...
my loyalty to Samsung is dwindling
Same, same
Was thinking about getting the s21 fe soon and then this came along. I might just wait a little bit longer
I think brand loyalty is only hindering people from getting the best product... Don't hesitate to switch and try others brands!
Being loyal to Samsung is disappointing every time I've tried lol
Don't get your hopes too high, I still have some question related to software 🤔
The problem is Samsung is the best Android in terms of software and hardware
I would only switch if someone offers replacable batteries
This phone really is interesting. It looks good. What im curious about is the performance
I care about the optimization because this isn't the most powerful phone anyway
It’s nothing to write home about
It will be okaish , not too powerful neither not a dummy processor
I wonder if the battery life is good
The title says it but the thumbnail completely shifts it 😂 very catchy.
I'm going to press that like button just for the europa.. i just like everything about space it's so fascinating
All these years later still nothing beats the legendary POCO F1 , my first phone still a beast 🔥
The optimization of the software is the key to beat apple! Hope they get it right
They're using Android. That have 0 control over it in the way apple does.
There is literally nothing that can beat Apple for 75% of Apple users. At least in the US, apple is has like 90% of the phones I see
the phone is definetly spectacular
For one second the title bamboozled me LMFAO
when everyone says “people put cases on their phone” don’t people realize that most people who care about the colors of their phone have tons of options for clear minimalist cases?
Ive never used cases or screne protectors and my phones seem to last long enough, I don't understand the concept of hiding the efforts out into the look and feel of a device.
Resale value will be higher
And if you drop it, it’ll be safe. I’ve dropped in like 4 times and zero dents. Thankful for the protection
For the screen, no scratches. I hate scratches
True
I love this 4K content!
The best title ever
What could make a quite a stir would be selling top spec phone with several SoC options because other companies when they decide to step down with the SoC, they usually cheap out on other stuff too (display, charging capability, camera, storage, USB protocols), because it's a good way to justify the huge price bumps. It's not that I hate 778G, but it really bugs me there's no SD7G1 or SD8G1 option because at this price range, I expect this phone to be mediocre at anything what comes up to my mind. OnePlus gave you the best SoC at least.
Cant do that mate chip just changes the whole phone cause of the isp display and other things it brings its better to just launch different phones then
@@maihoonmitochondria Not really lmao
Wish they would partner with Google to get the photo quality on part with Pixel. Has always been the pain for me with OnePlus. Photo and video quality was just never on par after years. Hopefully there will be a transparent protector available the back and a bumper case.
I think it is kinda success that in now time when all people or tech people looking for a special thing like something that doesn't have that much lighting thing as kids' toys but this phone could make us interested and love the cool lights on the back of their phone. and the idea of if it looks like an apple is even not being a point since we are seeing this light and other features in the future.
Would please make a video about all the iPhones and how things have changed over the years ? Both with hardware and iOS. Thinking about buying a new one after many years of using 8. Kind of curios what everything I've missed :D
Doesn't it drain battery sooner than other device????
when it was first announced, I was like, "Meh, it's just Another Android phone."
But after seeing the hands on I really liked the design.
I don't really care about the backlights.
But a white phone with metal flat edges and a unique back panel AND a Side hole punch front camera. Looks really appealing.
a white phone with metal flat edges you mean a white iPhone 12
@@lesleyhaan116 look buddy, everybody who is familiar with iPhone 12 will indeed say that it looks like iPhone 12.
But guess what,
"A good idea is a good idea. Even if it is copied."
@@lesleyhaan116 And besides, you missed the part where I said,"unique back panel and side hole punch front camera."
The lighting is so bad ass for video Inspiring
I've replayed that video about 5 times now..😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I'm all for creative design, but these lights on the back don't add all that much, considering they're facing away from you almost all the time. What remains to be seen is if Nothing can innovate with some features that actually matter
I agree, I think it’s a cool idea, but it’s more of a gimmick than an actual useful feature because no one is going to be interacting with the back of the phone when they can just look at the screen
Are the lights on the back really bright? I could buy it as a form of flashlight.
@@egyptian_noob "no one"
@@chrisjfox8715 not many*
if depends if you put your phone face down on the table or not, which I don't personally
As a OnePlus fan, it does have me curious
I got the title about 2 mins into the video. Great work
The caption though 😂😂
This phone wasn't made to "beat" the iPhone, it was just made for the memes.
Yeah. It’s Nothing compared to the iPhone
Obviously. People think they are witty making jokes about it, while Nothing clearly chose the name because they wanted to become a meme.
All publicity is good publicity.
It’s the first phone in a while with a FUN feature, it’s there to be fun and look good, not just for the sake of being a feature, has a good purpose. And it has no downsides (unlike the durability of foldables).
it uses up space and uses up budget
Battery goes down too
@@prcvl i mean foldables yeah
@@henkiespenkie4414 nah shouldn’t be noticeable, that turns on rarely

The guy on the left I can bet when he drinks he always says can I interrupt you? And is just the smart calm talking guy that likes to talk 😂
I think they get one thing wrong about making a phone for a broader audience I think it comes down to economies of scale the original enthusiast phone might not be scalable.
I Think it's a really coo thing to have the back of the phone light up as it does. But, the cases market is gonna get really frustrated or become non-existent.
Also, maybe they can also have this LED charge indicator show up in the wall plug(wall wart, however the damn thing is called). I think that'd be cool too.
Wall wart? First time I've heard called as that haha!
I ordered one after looking at this phone for a long time. Cannot wait to see it in my hand!
Update : have had this in my hand and I love it. For a 400 quid phone it feels better than my previous Samsung. Love the glyphs and the heft of it

The best part of the phone is definitely Glyph LED.
And unfortunately that's the least thing YOU would get to see as you'll stare at the front instead.
@@vedanshchn the screen looks good too..very clean indeed
@@nithinrajendran3091 We're talking about the lights at the back rn not the front 🤷♂️
Did someone say front..totally missed that before
Nothing should make a mini phone like about 5.8in with iPhone X size, I would buy one!
an android with below 6inch screen and an above average battery life plus stock android is a heaven sent for an android fanboy like me. im stuck with the iphone 13mini with poco f3 as my gaming phone.
Clever title , goes both ways !!
about the case, there are a lot of my friends that have a sort of case that only goes around the edges,its in silicone it works decently well (never seen a serius scratch on their phone, and trust me, they drop it consistently)

If the biggest tech TH-camr in the world can't be trusted to accurately apply a dbrand skin, how can the average buyer? Sure, it's just a sticker, but if they think it takes an expert hand to do it right, it riases the question of whether it's really a practical product for the average user.
True, but that's marketing. Kinda like how they basically only showed them the cool outer aesthetics of this phone. It's common practice to present any product in the best possible light and completely leave out all potential negatives. Doesn't mean I like it, but that's how it's always been.
the youtuber isn't super incentivized to make the skin perfect + the downside if they fuck it up is much larger
It’s different , and yes it does look like an iphone in some ways.
As for lights on the back , i would rather have had a useful headphone jack and an SD card , as for a notification light , i would rather have a dedicated led notification light on the front .
I miss the old days when phones had a good array of common sense convenience features , and how about accessories in the box for added value ?
Sorry no interest in another phone with features i would probably not find value added.
Finally to hear good news
Okay Okay Bro
I’m going to buy it just for the looks. I don’t really care for the most powerful phone as long as it has a decent main camera and decent battery.
I guess you're their target auidence 😆
For me to buy the nothing phone 1, it has to be a great one to challenge the iPhone 13, with a freedom of android and the eyes of Huawei
