The nothing phone never got me really excited
The concept was neat but not great.
Framework laptop remains my new hope for the future of laptops tho.
I'm with you. Framework repairable/upgradeable laptops are super exciting. For a while, I thought they had a phone in development. Is that still a thing?
Fairphone is already doing it.
I have a framework laptop. It is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone!
Phoneblocks/Project Ara wanted to do that with phones but it wasn't actually viable at the time.
Fairphone is doing something like this
Ara was viable technically, but isnt profitable enough for major companies to be interested.
There’s no review of the phone, title is misleading.
I was bummed about this episode of Dope Tech. He had the professional video tech which wasn't a consumer product, then the sponsored segment, and finally the Nothing phone 2 - which hasn't changed all that much.
Insanely clickbait title too, when the NP2 is barely 1/4th of the video and only a "design reveal".
sponsor block skipped ⅔ of the video and thought it was a bug
Honestly this is why I could never get into him. I feel like he also tends towards a lot of anti consumer takes for a product reviewer.
I feel like he never really reviews products and just read the spec sheet. There are much better tech reviews and they're perfectly capable of producing flashy visuals as well so there's no real point to him.
Dope video shots, but no real substance, content wise
I like the design but definitely the lights still seem like huge gimmick. I don't see the value of getting this over other midrange options like the pixel 7a
looks like there's very few changes aside from the spec bump and some extra lights on the back.
Misleading title.
