Just a side note - Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is one of the primary investors of Nothing Phone https://us.nothing.tech/pages/about

Goddammit u/spez! Why you gotta fkn ruin everything!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I had no idea!

Β£579 puts it at Β£80 more than a Pixel 7, very tough competition..

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Feels like a bit overpriced to me.

Was always going to happen with Nothing. They are a bit too pretentious as it shows in their marketing. They wanna be the enthusiast phone with all the gimmicks that they can sell to people at a premium, but needed a foot in the door, so priced the NP1 quite competitively. Now they have attention they can bump the prices up. All the talk about 'innovation' and how nobody does it anymore, but then they just create a rehashed NP1.

They haven't even shared all the details of the phone, I still don't know what glass it has except for it being some version of gorilla glass. Plus it only has an IP54 rating, which is laughable for this price range honestly. If it was priced like the NP1 it would be great and would put some pressure on other players in the market.

"Never settle" or something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I was hoping they'd upgrade to RGB LEDs in this version (which would make it a LOT more useful), but they didn't, instead they just released a rehashes NP1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

apple also priced m1 air competitively and increased price for m2 way too much

and now no one's buying the m2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Also disappointed, but kinda expected this to happen. I wanted to get the Phone (2) but at this amount it's just not worth it. Meanwhile the Phone (1) is also still available, and if the price drops even more I might consider getting it instead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I think they needed to aim for around Β£450, though even then they're up against the A54.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's better than A54.

People rage over literally nothing.

Edit: I tried to make a joke about people hyping the brand nothing, used the wrong word and caused some misunderstanding it seems, my bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just curious, which part of those four words did you extrapolate β€œrage” from?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, i think i f'ed up here. I meant to make a joke about the people hyping up literally nothing (the brand lol). I didn't mean to say the comment i responded to did rage, i actually agree with him/her.

Too expensive in Canada for what it is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Too expensive everywhere. This thing is priced insane for it's specs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks very cool and cyberpunky. Not sure I can justify paying that much for the phone though, but I might consider future models whenever I need to retire my Pixel 4a

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They will probably be even more expensive. That is unless they release a midrange model.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's expensive compared to the first gen one!

Kind of ironic how their CEO mentioned good phones needn't be expensive during the hype for the NP1 launch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That was all for buzz. Now that they have it, they don’t need to keep prices down.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Pricing is a bit steep imo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What's the repairability like on this one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No RGB, no buy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Canadian prices are a disaster

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I hate Nothing because they said they will innovate. But they produced same crappy iPhone-like phone, only with more LEDs on back. Nothing innovative, nothing special, and now even overpriced.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

6.7" why...
