US fans can now get a Nothing Phone (1) for $300 as part of the Nothing OS 1.5 beta program

11 January 2023
"Beta program" can't be stressed enough - this isn't a sale and there are several major limitations, especially when it comes to network coverage.

For starters, try to see Nothing Phone in person. We'll go from there.

    And no, it is not nonsense. Like I said before, "I said the performance is 4 years out of date because it can only compete with phones from 4 years ago. This is not an opinion. It is a fact. Performance is a not subjective."

    Do you want me to pull out the benchmarks to prove it?

      And again with the same "4 years out of date" nonsense? At least make an effort and try the phone before making those... let's just call them funny statements.

Yes, I do know there are better phones, of course there are. Still, the statement in regard to 778G+ as a "slow chip" and (this one specially) "performance being 4 years out of date" is still one of the funniest statements ever seen on the whole WWW. And that is not an easy task, let me tell you that.

          Also, good for you for having 33% more performant phone than NP1 for the same price, I am really glad for you.

            Gaga, 03 Feb 2023Probably the biggest nonsense I have ever heard. Coming fro... moreClearly you've seen nothing in person 😂 even if not a Nothing Phone. If you had, you'd know there's vastly better phones out there.

            I've got a 33% more performant phone that you can also get for $300.

              $300 for a middling performance phone, with a high end design is not a bad deal, especially if you get Tmobile 5G band N41

                  Still not worth it at $300 with that slow 700 series chip 😂

                  The performance is like 4 years out of date.

                      My phone will not get warm after long section of social media watch. But my wife phone get warm and battery not efficient also.

                      I did research on that and find that TSMC fab SD 778G is more efficient than Samsung Fab Snapdragon 780

                        I beta tested for LeEco when they came to the USA, but the phone had all of the necessary radio bands. At $300, it's not worth it. Too bad because I'll be buying a new phone soon. I'm not giving up my AT&T 5G+ though.

                          some youtube certified engineers here tell xiaomi has vapour chamber . that doesn't mean the heat gets deatroyed by it . you can't destroy energy . it only gets transferred. once theres heat in a system it has to go somewhere. vapour chambers only dissipate it slowly and equally in all direction. pixel believes in conventional simple copper heat management. thats arguably better for the long run. because with vapour chamber that's a risk of leak both because of physical damage and natural wear and tear .i never heard someone getting 1st degree burn from smartphone getting hot . so i will go for a pixel . xiaomi has terrible quality control . they yell these new feature but never have the consistency in doing it perfectly for every single unit they sell

You also get 5g and guaranteed software support. Nothing is a risk because there's no guarantee it will be around in 2 years. I'd rather have the 6a with it's compromises vs a phone that will guaranteed to be frustrating to use. A carrier like Verizon for example needs band 13 to function outside of any city. Verizon leans heavily on it's C-Band 5g for throughput and it's 4g is heavily congested. Most US carriers have heavily congested 4g and require midband 5g.

                                  Why would I spend $300 on an unreliable brick because it lacks the bands I need? Maybe just add North American bands and I'll do a proper testing of the device. I don't see the point of purchasing a phone that is going to end up as ewaste, in a landfill.

                                    Selling in the US without adding North American radio bands? For people who like their cellular bandwidth to be Nothing in rural areas. (Looks like it only has urban frequencies)
