In the EU, the 128GB is close to the S23 and the 256GB is close to S23+ price wise. Both Samsung phones are better overall with better hardware support and software long term.

The nothing is a gimmicky midrange hardware product priced too high.

      Funny how people jugding the company who was founded in 2020 and made their phone from the scratch, but they are comparing with Iphone, Google and other phones when they company bugdets and oppurtinities way bigger ;D

      Lmao delusional :) jugde that company later, after 5 / 10 years.|
      They did improvement from their Nothing Phone 1 and that's a fact, and that's a fact that they growing.

        Everyone: DxOMark is biased about their scoring...

        Also GSMArena...

          Anders, 13 Jul 2023A 4.4? GSMarena opinions aren't to be taken seriously ... moreFor me, it's -

          - No IP68.
          - No telephoto camera.
          - No headphone jack (can manage).
          - An average camera setup (most important for me).

            I'm a little sceptical about GSMA for the first time. This one is showing the most positive review ever with almost no flaws. The camera, especially the UW is not that good, but yet they mentioned such nice things about it. 🫣

                IMHO it looks a little dated, like an iP4, the protruding camera buttons aren't pretty.

                  TrainingAddict, 14 Jul 2023No one will buy it direct competitor is pixel 7 family Pixel 7 family, in that price range, is "the worst" lineup as far as thermals are concerned.
                  Especially the 7a that throttles like crazy. 7 isn't much better either.

                  Moreover, Pixel 8 is just round the corner and the leaked pricing will push the base Pixel 8 much above this price, leaving only 7a to compete with Nothing. Except for camera, there isn't much to favour 7a either

                    crispcketlicker, 14 Jul 2023No kidding but yes I guess people will just buy blindly bec... moreSo, you're not just insulting europeans and americans, you also insult the mobile industry? In case you did not realise what i'm refering to because well, you're too inteligent... to compare a poco to a phone no matter which one, is insulting. At least this wannabe's are trying to be different in the fload of crappware, oh sorry, other chinese brands.
                    The funny part is though, that you and the one you're replying too, are frustrated cause it is too expensvive for you, but you would actually buy it exactly because of those lights...

                      Nothing from nothing leave nothing. Ya gotta have SOMETHING, if you want to be with me!

                      Has anyone figured out who actually manufacturers this phone?
                      Remember, Carl Pei, was formally from Oppo, then started his own "startup" which was later found to be OWNED by Oppo. Some other company is producing these.

                        Discounted to 500 or less for winter sales. Too expensive for what it offers, I would go with Pixels or F5/F5 pro or OnePlus 11 without any hesitation with current prices in Europe.

                                    Not for that price, maybe just maybe for 599$.

                                      I get the company is trying hard to make their product stand out in the crowded market of Android phones, but to me the clean-cut design and UI of the screen side is undermined by the gimmicky light show on the back. As in, it totally ruins it.

                                      I would feel stupid walking around with something like this unless I'm some sugar-high student trying (too) hard to make an impression at the mall or something.
