I don't get it, what's the point in having removable back, screws, screwdrivers if you cannot remove and replace the parts.

    This is exactly what I was thinking.

    I've been planning on getting a fairphone next, and didn't know they had a competitor, and then after watching the review realized they didn't have a competitor.

    Nothing phone is such a fucking joke there are 0 replacement parts available. I broke my camera a few weeks after I got my nothing phone 2 and your only option is to ship the phone to the UK. The advertise as consumer friendly but that couldn't be further from the truth.

    I was kinda hoping a modular phone would have a headphone jack module of some sort.

    Non-removable battery and lanyard strap is enough I guess...

    Yeah this surprised me. Is NFC payment not common in India?

    I don't understand the point of this phone. Why are idiots flocking to it?

    It is the phone everyone deserves but should not be the one you want. It only creates more waste without being reparable.

    If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they're not concerned about repairability but price.

    I'd love to buy a Fairphone. But sadly it is behind in so many features,that I simply can't.

    -no water proof (sadly a requirement in my profession)

    -no wireless charging (why? just why? There is no good reason for them to not include that, especially as it is finally adopted by a lot of spaces, e.g. in airline seats,etc.)

    • mediocre camera

    I counted the days towards Fairphone releasing the featureset of the Fairphone 5 and was so disappointed.

    I am up for other recommendations, though.The first person to name google will be downvoted,though. I literally wrote my lawyer yesterday as they are treating service cases in a illegal manner.

    In my opinion this an amazing looking phone that I could use without a case, if needed just buy a new back and stick it to the phone. For me the only problem is the lack of NFC (no Google pay). Strange move by Nothing to not include it.
