In terms of software quality though, OneUI is still not as smooth as I like and has stutters from time to time even on new models like A33 and A53.

                      Lol, the internals are put together EXACTLY the same as in any other phone with glass back. It's just that you can see through with Nothing. That's it.

I still remember in Nokia days phones looked like they were from future or something. Nothing did something innovative and sure enough it went over your head. The charging level indicator idea is awesome and so is the transparent glass aesthetic. Better than the old and sad looking backside of Apple and Samsung.

                              I love this implementation specially after all the typical boring sack of basic brick of phones we've been getting since iPhone took the market. If they manage to keep this awesome LEDs or come up with something new in their next unit plus a great screen and high end processor, I'd be tempted to get one.

                                This phone is asking for its battery to be drained.

                                    Ben n Jerry's Wigs did a teardown to look at the guts and quality of build.

                                        Mediocre disco phone.

                                        Nothing phone still needs to learn 30 years to be the same level as samsung in 2019.

                                        Right now, meizu phone or other random entry level chinese phone is far better than this.
