I've been a Samsung user for the last 14 years. Recently, I was getting tired of them. I wanted something different. But I couldn't find anything that stood out to me. It's all just big greedy corps reusing designs and ideas, and demanding a fortune from you. With all these big companies, everythings made to break, everything's automated, everything is so bland.
Then I found Nothing. The events leading up to its creation was intriguing. I was looking up reviews on this phone and stumbled upon the Nothing YouTube channel. And what sold me to this brand was the fact that the CEO made a video reacting to reviews of his own product! What CEO does that? It's awesome!
Enough about the company itself. Now for the phone. I had purchased the 512GB 12RAM version simply because I wanted the best Nothing could offer. Yet it was still one of the lowest prices I've paid for a phone. It's smooth, it lacks bloatware, decent camera, wonderful screen with great colors. And the battery life? Oh my god. More like the battery with nine lives. The "Almost two-day battery life" thing they throw out there could not be more true. You CANNOT KILL THIS BATTERY it's unreal. I drive a lot for work and use gps for hours at a time. And I'll come home after a 10 hour day and my phone still has 60-70% battery left. It's actually crazy. The Glyph display on the back is cool. It definitely turns heads. Me, personally, a weird guy, I don't know if I see much useability with it other than it making a nice fill light for the camera or a flashlight. It's actually really cool to use it that way. But..I personally never been a fan of flashing lights. But that's just me!! I can definitely see other people loving them! You also have the quick toggle to turn them off if you'd like too. Cant love it, can't hate it either!
If I could list any cons, it'd probably be the lack of expandable storage, lack of water resistance, and headphone jack. (yea I'm one of those guys that still won't let it go lol). Even though I have the half terabyte version, id still like the option at least. Id trade the dual sim for a single sim and SD card slot. I hate that phones are trying to make these features "obsolete" because they're not.
Nothing is also constantly pushing out major updates on the monthly! Always coming with a long detailed list on the improvements in the software, especially with the camera(s)! As I type we are on Nothing OS 2.5.2. and it's better than ever!
In conclusion, it'd say it's something you can't go wrong with. I absolutely love this phone, I've had it for a month now, it's been great. I cannot wait to see what this company has for us in the future!
Thanks for Nothing!
