    Haha nothing the disco company

      By the way to the review counter, moto edge 30 is the first mid ranger to have symmetrical bezels and the thinnest and lightest 5g device has a functional not some NOTHING sense design

        Nothing is nothing! Must every company make phone? This is getting ridiculous really!

          Haptics:
          The good kind, but hollow and make an audible thump.

          Speakers:
          You just can't claim that the speakers are good. They are not, as is. With the Wavelet edits they do become good and pleasant, with bass even, so the hardware is there definitely. But out of the box, they're the worst I've ever heard.

          Software:
          They did some sneaky shit here. I believe it was 1.1.6 that removed the DC-dimming-like brightness adjustment curve, and also reduced maximum brightness. They realized that the poor quality panel wasn't up to this task and decided to roast my eyes.

          Still a good phone for the money if your eyes can handle the screen, and the camera is so good at basic stuff like selecting the correct ISO and white balance! This means that you don't look like a white walker in photos, and vibrant colours are captured as they appear to your eyes. Rare stuff in Android world.
          UI is a breath of fresh air too.

          Did you know, by the way, that phonecalls from one Nothing Phone to another are extremely high quality?

              Anonymous, 08 Apr 2023Some sites published back then this phone would be ODM, mad... moreHigh SAR is strong evidence to say it is chinese product.
              High SAR means lack of proper efforts to reduce levels as cost cut.

                Some sites published back then this phone would be ODM, made by that famous company that also makes EV cars in China.

                  Reminds me of a 5$ play phone for children, the led light does only make it look cheaper. Horrible design. Low quality. Was it even worthy of a review?

                    I wouldaybe consider it if the hole was in the middle. Left side triggers my OCD and it's not aligned with corner. Ewww

                      Oki, 08 Apr 2023Just another phone that sells in limited markets. Every goo... moreDid you really say good manufacture and pixel and sony in the same sentence? My 2 worst phones ive ever used are by those 2 companies (id take sony over google for a phone currently but wrong companies to compare to lol).

                      Also im guessing you mean chinese e waste as in just cheap generic phones they release not the likes of xiaomi 13 pro, honor magic5 pro, oppo find x6 pro, vivo x90 pro etc.

                        Have this phone. Performance wise its smoother than my A52s. Annoying things are the auto brightness is way too bright and the fact i can’t turn off vibrate for the fingerprint sensor . Also if like me you have few friends you never actually see the Glyph lights light up!😂

                          Anonymous, 08 Apr 2023Conclusion section basically just called people who want/ha... moreYeah basically. I know way too many people whos personality perfectly fits this phone. Want all the attention but have nothing really to offer to deserve the attention and really just want people thinking they are worth something on social media.

                          We'll have to see what happens after the 2nd phone, their earbuds arent worth it nor is the phone so currently they have nothing to make this company last just wasted R&D and marketing. Oh well.

                            Anonymous, 08 Apr 2023Don’t call the iPhone SE an abomination 😠Well it is an abomination. It uses the tech from 2014, that can't possibly be good

                              Ultimately it's name matches it's kind, sort of.

                                Just another phone that sells in limited markets. Every good phone manufacturer like Pixel, Sony, Nothing are exclusive to one set of countries while the rest is swarmed with Chinese e waste

                                      "Sure, they may not run and buy one immediately, but they now know what Nothing is. And that's something"

                                      Made me laugh XD
