Carl Pei shows off new transparent cable for the Nothing Phone (2)

19 June 2023
Well, only the two USB-C ends are transparent. Nothing is focused on design, so even small touches matter.

People wouldn't want to spend a lot of money for something they barely see or heard of. Just look at the Samsung and Apple, they are almost everywere, on TV, in YouTube, on billboards.

      "Nothing" is the dumb superstition the people need. They don't implement features that actually benefit anyone, they just implement features that seem cool the first five minutes you use it. Seemingly they are getting away with just building up a facade with no actual value behind it just because a Oneplus founder is behind it. Do the people just think it's good value because the Oneplus 1 to 5 were good value? Do people really want to buy 400$ phones just for a dumb gimmick? Just because it's different?

        Why is the transparent design of the bundled cable a thing of some interest again?

          Could have given a braided cable instead of this. All form and weak function. Or get generous and give both. Isn't the Phone 2 supposed to be "high-end"?

                      Now, I understand the need for it, but if you really needed it, then why didn't you and the other people so willing to mention that they need the SD card and they need that headphone jack, why didn't you guys buy LG phones?

                      You can not blame this on LG not advertising enough, because you clearly knew about them making phones and what features said phones had.

                          So they did exactly what you wanted, but you weren't willing to pay for said desired features.

                          That's not their faul, it's YOURS.

                            Tritrix, 19 Jun 2023I admit that reading the title I also expected to see the wiresAs far as I know there is no transparent soft plastic (that can be used as the cable sleeve) that doesn't change color over time. Maybe that's why they didn't do the whole cable and just the ends. Even so I'm pretty disappointed since they didn't show anything really (the chip inside, the wires splitting up etc)

                                  Its cool. Just make sure its just as good as the others where the plastic doesnt split apart or where the connector slips out. Ive never had that but iphone users have. Their cables always shit.

I, personally, have never gone above 110gb of taken up storage. Out of which photos and vids were less than 20. Apps took up ~60 (because god damn codm/genshin) and the rest was mostly system stuff. But then again, it all depends on the person and how they use their phone
