CP: Mobile world is so boring now. Let's make it fun again.

Then he starts with phone with useless lights on its back. He brags about so much about how his team created the phone 1, but according to Android Authority back then, software codes make clear phone is ODM by BYD ( car maker).
2nd gen with older SoC for almost 800 euros ( LG was crucified for that in 2017). Then very midrange with " A" as part of the name.
He reviews phones of other brands, something very unethical.

CMF Phone 1 is ultra ridiculous phone. It is 2024 and that lacks NFC , when this tech has so many utilities. Removable back that needs screwdriver is pointless. As Phone Arena says, with accessories it becomes more expensive than phones like 50 Fusion.

In the end, he mocks Samsung, Apple, Google and even OnePlus but does exactly same they all do.
.
2a Plus was not necessary. Should have focused on Phone 3.

    then again, just buy this if you want clean os but, if you won't, just buy oneplus nord or poco f6

            Not a bad phone but still there are better phones out there for said price.
            For example Redmi Note 13 Pro plus for 329 euros.

              Where's the option for "No, that thing is genuinely hideous"

              Nothing phones would be great if they made a version without those lights. Make a flagship nothing phone with no lights and keep the cool design and I'll buy one instantly.

And he's trying to do that with wacky designs, a transparent CEO who communicates with the community a little and cool software. What wrong thing did he say?

                He never said he's starting a charity. Instead of questioning my comprehension skills try to find out the definition of a business first.

                  A lazy half-generation refresh with barely ANY improvements AND a price increase?

                  I don't think so.

                    Exactly what realme is today.
                    Half the price of other, but 3x the cost cuts of other.

                    OP3 , except the SoC was worse than Moto X Style.
                    It is like giving 8g3 to Moto G24

                      45W charging is still plenty fast and there seems to be no difference with the chipset between this and (2a). You might as well just get the (2a) all along. If this phone has a more powerful Dimensity 8000 series chipset, then it's worth going for the Plus. But since it didn't, just go for the normal one.

I only see him doing the same thing as everyone, which the same critic initially said.

                          Anton .el PAPI., 04 Aug 2024You are asking a lot! He is a Chinese who wants money! No... moreYour comment is just weird. Thinking a business won't target making money is the same as saying a restaurant won't provide any food or a cafe won't provide any coffee/tea. What even is your point?

                          I just simply said Nothing is misguided and making weird stunts that's giving them publicity. They have the publicity, they just need to continue making great phones at great prices. I truly don't understand your point you make some of the weirdest points on this site.

                            It's not available in my country

                                After realme 13 pro+ announce - nope))

                                  For the first time, I have selected the "None of the above" option. Because I want to buy it, but if they had improved the rear camera. Even if they had asked for a little more money. 😭

                                    His cycle of making a new brand with his own profit, hyping it by marketing and compromising on everything while asking for a higher price beyond the first season of release, is basically unchanged.

                                      It makes the regular 2a , which is now discounted, look a better deal. About £100 more for the plus features isn't worth it.

Nothing of what I'm talking about when I take out the first Nothing phone! He said that we had to "make technology fun again" and criticized other manufacturers for why they were doing the same thing. And what is he doing? well the same as the rest* he only wants money 🤷‍♂️
