For all those asking is this device worth the money, or is the sound on par with x, y, z how does it compare with iPhone or Samsung S20 or even any other flagship device is not the point. The Nothing Phone 1 is an entry level (mid level) phone at a decent price with some very decent all in one phone. Yes there are many trade off to some people.
I have been Samsung from S1, I've had iPhones, Honor 8, Huawei.
Now if the Nothing Phone 1 doesn't meet your needs at the cost advertised no one is forcing you to buy it or own it.
Since its almost a stock Android OS I personally would wait until this device is in a shop where I can actually use the device both black and the white.
Twin sim on all bands fantastic no mention of esim, but this is not a flagship device once again.
Does it support dual apps by default or 3rd party apps?
All in all there are many that this device will be suitable for and yes while I find the over the top LED notifications not worthy at least you can turn the damn things off.
I personally if I like the device once I have it in my had I shall be buying it as it fits my needs on paper..
And yes I will put a plain black or white skin on the back to cover the rear glass if I decide to get one of these phone's.
Each to their own there will also be haters and we all have a choice.. 👀

Not saying this phone is bad at all( ugly back maybe), just that it cost at least $200 more than some phones with almost the same specs

The A52s runs an almost identical chipset and I would be amazed if people could tell the difference. What are you doing with 12gb ram that you can't do with 6gb?. That leaves a better screen costing you £399 compared to the A52s at £260(6 Gb 128 version).

My phone from 2015 has wireless charging, although I never used it, but it's there, just in case I want to charge the phone in a car

This phone created a new category. Premium Midranger. No non-sense bullcrap. No useless 2mp macro & 8mp ultrawide cam.

In fact, I've owned more phones than I can even remember (to the point that I've lost the count) So I know which phone is worth buying and ones that are just gimmicks (those ultra crazy fast charging ones, for example) What's wrong with the retail box ? Giving them credit where due. At least they don't use plastic unlike those limited edition gimmicks that come in huge boxes with tons of unwanted accessories in it

I wonder, why there is no video with stabilization test like in other phones reviews.

Decent specs but overpriced. There are so many good phones like poco f3, mi lite 11 NE ,galaxy A52s, which have very similar performance but cost much less.
Idk why this gets so much attention?

So, you dislike ultra fast-charging which serves a practical purpose but brag about wireless charging, which is a misnomer and it still needs to be placed on a dock? lmao
Metal frame? Wow how innovative!
Just admit you're on the Nothing payroll.

That's not the kind of "trade off" that I will accept. Meanwhile, the LEDs can be disabled if one doesn't like them. What about the metal frame ? Most of chinese phones are removing that from their phones, even the flagship phones. Nothing phone has it. Same with wireless charging. Anything to say about that one ? These are flagship phone features that nothing puts on their phones. Also, most phones have unknown brand of glass on them, but the phone (1) has gorilla glass 5 on both sides. Not the best, but still better than others. What about the packaging? the phone (1) has the contest retail box ever (although that's irrelevant but that still adds to the unboxing experience

A bunch of blinking lights on the back of your phone does nothing. If anything, it's just going to get your screen scratched up.

For example, fast charging is a gimmick to me (those ultra mega 200w speeds) but a deal breaker for some, if the phone lacks that feature, same with curved displays and big screens, some like it, and some don't. I think the lights are cool. For some is a gimmick. Is just a matter of preferences
