  • @MrOrtmeier
    @MrOrtmeier Před 2 měsíci +1

    Very nice review Parker. For the price it's definitely a great device and a very strong contender from Nothing. I think yours is the milky colour, then there's a more transparent white one and then the too dark black one. The two white one's are the better choice imo because the black one is so dark you cannot really see the transparency in normal light. I'm really surprised that the Nothing design team let that slip through. It should have been the same shade as either 1 or 2 but not darker.
    It does face stiff competition though, mainly from Xiaomi/Poco and Samsung with the A35. So they have done well to get 100 000 sales on day one. Let's hope it continues to do well so that we can see similarly affordable devices from One....er I mean Nothing, in future...

    The catch for US at least it’s through what they call developer program. You don’t get support after 14 days plus missing some bandwidth with certain carrier. T-Mobile is missing some 5g bandwidth, AT&T and Verizon don’t have 5g at all for this phone. I think it’s pretty important to mention this since connectivity core functionality to a phone.
