#GeekyRanjit - Věda a technologie
I first watched your videos probably in 2010 or 2011 . I remember I bought Galaxy Y after watching your video and then Moto Atrix 2. After that I lost interest in gadgets and stopped watching tech videos for many many years and now whole tech community on CZcams has changed for worse as every 18 yo is now a tech reviewer. But your channel is still a gem. Maintaining quality and trust over a decade is a real achievement. 👍👍
I had the samsung corby at that time
wow, you are an OG
Do you remember Tuesday night qna
Thanks for your kind comments and welcome back :)
@@geekyranjit do a same video for Redmi k50i
This is called dedication!! Writing long review, and then making a comprehensive video as well, leaving nothing to other's confusion, that is what every Artist should be!!
@@bluejar5614 his Videos are nothing less than a work of art, so he is actually an Artist.
@Mr Banker mrmobile is always biased about lg phones lol
@Mr Banker geekranjit is honest. He criticises every brands.
@Mr Banker Why do you people take things soo deep and to heart and make it more complicated!! Take it easy and simple, he just expressed his opinion with his pure emotions and you're trying to decipher it and correct it as per your definitions..!! Comeon man..
@@ConsumerCosmos except samsung
Dear other tech channels, this is called proper review ❤️.... salute to geekyranjit🤩
Others are only busy with IQOOOOOOOOOOOO IQOOOOOOOOOOOOO IQOOOOOOOOOOO 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
😎😎
True true
True story 👍🏻
Meanwhile Technical guruji just reading the system information and calling it a day! 😆 🤣
Dear viewers , pls stop spamming the same comment on every video of Ranjith .Yes we know Ranjith is unbiased and non compromising on his review . You guys don’t need to point it out in every single video . Everyone who follows Ranjith knows about his honesty and integrity. Pls use the comment section to have meaningful discussion about the video or tech in general . Pls stop the same comments in every video like bots… Thank you
Hands down the best review ever of a phone by an Indian tech youtuber. No background music, no rubbish drama just pure information.
Even though there are chapters so you can skip to the part you want, but I would request everyone to watch as much of the video as possible since he has put in a lot of time & hardwork. Watching the entire video is the least we can do 😄
Watching the whole thing on Vanced or with an adblock wouldn't add to anything, right?
@@pasunurusaivineeth3739 he asked u to respect and he didn't ask whether u use vanced or not
@@amruth2371 I meant it as the way to support the creator. If we can watch the entire video "without blocking the ads", that would be the best.
@@pasunurusaivineeth3739 yea but ur response was a bit misleading. Nvm
14:50 "what rubbish" I love how you gave that expression and and dialogue 😂😂
Thank you for this long and in depth review ranjit sir 🙏
Huge love/fan from maharashtra 😄
Finally an "authentic" review of Nothing phone. Unlike other so called tech reviewers who release their review videos 2 days after phone launch.
I've seen very few youtubers talking this detail about a product. Thanks for the review sir.
Actually felt like 30 plus minutes went faster as it is the most informative & practical review. Just indulged into it. Super Ranjit sir!
I legit want to buy this phone!!
However, insights from several reviews point out that the OS is kind of a mixed bag, its as if you just unlocked the bootloader and flashed a beta version of Android 12, looks and runs great but there are tiny bugs here or there. All this can be ironed out in a polished update.
Team nothing, We hope you are taking notes.
Team nothing: "No we are not", satisfied?

Hats off to this man 🙌..This is what called a detailed in depth review 💯
Keep going Sir 👏
In spite of roaming over a lot of review channels, opening this video gives a better clarity. Geeky Ranjit keeps up his quality in reviews. Thanks.
Your reviews are so precise and good and feel so better than the drama, the noise which is there in others' reviews. Just like the calmness and the sincerity with which these videos are created.
Please continue this long hour format for full reviews atleast. I think the whole community appreciates ur effort. Taking ur time with 3-4 ota update is simply the way reviews should work.
Best in-depth review in whole tech community 👌
Love the way you note all the points that are required for the budget user like me and the way you explain it.. wonderful keep it up man. Stay safe stay blessed.
Now this is a review that we need...
Thanks Ranjit for posting such a detailed review...
The most professional review I have ever seen! It shows the hard work of the reviewer and an open critical mind to present the balanced perspective. The notice to the tiny details is awesome, It surely makes the channel the most consistent tech review channel of India.
Ranjit SIR is here!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Waiting for the past 1 week refreshing your channel for new videos.
The video we all have been waiting for.
Great CZcamsr.
Super excellent detailed review without missing even small things.
These type of reviews should be appreciated ☺️
Dear Ranjit. I have bought the Nothing Phone 1 after watching this extensive and very well made review. Now I would like to share my experience with you and your subscribers about what happened when I took delivery of the phone yesterday. I have bought the base variant which is 8GB RAM with 128GB storage. I have exchanged my old iPhone 8 64 GB for which Flipkart offered me ₹10500 as exchange price. My iPhone 8 was almost brand new as I hardly used it. The battery was at 93% capacity there were no dents or scratches and the charger, lightening cable and earphones were never used as I used a wireless charger and Bluetooth earphones. The moment the Flipkart delivery person inspected my phone with the box and accessories intact, he called someone and told him about the condition of my iPhone and negotiated a price.He took the phone and handed me the Nothing phone after opening the box and showing the contents inside. After he had left I got the message pick up cancelled and cash paid. This means that he had sold my iPhone 8 at a profit and paid Flipkart the exchange price of ₹10500 in cash.
I think you should have reported this to Fk because 10k is not the actual value price of the phone that you should have got considering the condition you described. I too am planning to buy a phone on exchange and I think after this incident, I will rather pay extra cash and exchange it elsewhere like Cashify.
in every field you will find a guy like Ranjit. Hats off to those people
One more well made detailed review. Great work
Wow, kudos for your effort, this is quite thorough
What we want in Nothing phone 2
Without wireless charging.
More usable Glyph interface
Aggressive pricing
Included charger.
Improved video OIS+EIS.
I'd say the glyph has no real use/advantag. Get rid of it or just keep the charging indicator and reduce cost to give us better sounding speakers. Rest of my wants are same as you
My want is
Better ui optimization
Better camera optimization
RGB lights
More screen to body ratio
Brighter display
32mp selfie
@@sierrachief117 nah the glyph interface is the base identity of the nothing phone, there's literally no other major reason outside the build quality to go with NP1 compared to say, a Moto Edge 30 in the same price range which also comes with the same processor, near stock android, pOLED, 144hz 10-bit HDR+ and all the usual bells and whistles minus wireless charging perhaps. They should keep the glyph but improve its usability significantly to the point of it outgrowing a week long infatuation at best. The Alert slider on the Oneplus was so core to its identity and had limited but powerful functionality, and now they have gotten rid of it and oneplus is all the more generic for it.
So yeah, work more on the glyph, remove wireless charging, add the charger back to the box and you have a more reasonable, more appealing successor.
After 33:09 finally
" Nothing is there in the Nothing phone"
Geniune review always from you sir 🙏🙏🙏
use it then you will know how good it is at its price point.
Motorola edge 20 le lo.. you will save 10k although the build is as per the price but all the other hardware specially screen it will have an upper hand over nothing.
@@harishreddy7443 what's special about it? What thing that it excell?
@@prudhviteja2349 it excels at giving a premium UI for this price point like ranjit already mentioned basically a flagship feel at less than half the price but do note that I'm just talking about the user interface and not the specs lol. Specs are just mid range cuz it is a mid range phone.
@@shaunpinto571 premium ui? 😂😂 This guy like stock ui that's why he likes, but what will there in stock ui? No features, nothing special.
I really appreciate this man ..He never makes biased videos or promotes any brand ..He is just genuine and will tell all the shortcomings that the smartphone having..
Hats off you bro
I can rely on your reviews.
Good review. Truth and no gimmicky stuff. Makes u stand out from others
Wow fantastic review this is what we want to see. Real life usage review. Ownership experience! Fantastic
Very well detailed review from Geeky Ranjit.
Now waiting for pixel 6a review from you, Sir
Great review sir. Hats off to you for putting so much hard work for a wonderful review.
Brilliant review, covering all points related to the phone. Thanks Ranjit sir
And focks , this is the real 'review' , when you decide to spend your hard earned money on a gadget this is what we expect , Not a seven minute long video just to read out its specification . Kudos sir 👍
*Finally an honest review after all the promotions from other reviewers.*
Nothing phone's major USP is it's *design* and everything around it is just *average.*
And I don’t like the design either. What use is a phone with a Diwali lighted back that I don’t look at?
totally wrong, it's usp is premium user experiemce, use it then you will know it, you can't judge the phone just for one bad ota update, even he rated the phone 9 out of 10 just before this small ota, and personally I didn't faced any major issue to dislike the phone so much after the 3rd update, but yes they can improve and they will for sure. Design is just a bonus for me.
@@harishreddy7443 What kind of premium user experience are you suggesting?
@@xdadev clean stock Android experience with no bloatwares and ads, good haptic feedback, smooth and fluid UI, premium build, it really feels very premium to hold in hands. You will know it once you use it. I hope nothing soon brings the phone to offline stores like croma, reliance digital so that people can get to know the experience. Even it's camera, especially the main sensor produces really good images at this price point, not much behind the iphones or pixel,and much better than xiaomi, OnePlus oppo vivo poco realme phones.
@@RKNancy even without the glyphs the phone is gorgeous, you can always keep the lights off if you don't like it. the white variant just looks awesome with that transperent back and everybody notices and praises it, saying with my personal experience
Love your in depth reviews.nothing has done incredible job with first iteration
one of the best technology channel i have in my subscription list
Dear Nothing Team remove wireless charging and add 3.5 mm jack instead and keep the pricing below 30k for practical useage ...if you want to win Indian consumer
I second you. And I also would like to ask for good quality speakers like the iPhone 13 series, or the iPhone SE types at the very least.
There's so many rumours on the Nothing Phone One Lite. Looking forward to it
@@ryanveigas6931 srry to disappoint you.It's been confirmed as fake news by carl pei
There are many phones above 30 K which are selling like hot cakes , one plus phones which are more than 30 k . Companies have more margin at a higher price . Even if they sell low volume they have more margin .3.5 mm jack now Indian consumers are also getting used to not have it
Hey Ranjith, would you once like to show us the behind the scenes of how you create these videos? I'm sure everyone is going to love it :))
This is the most awaited and genuine review in youtube community.
Finally this is the review I was waiting for the Nothing phone....thanks Ranjit sir 👏👏👏
he is the only person whom i believe blindly mostly.. being his follower for more than 4 years, i know how much truth the content has.. salute to his dedication
A great proper review indeed. Not like other youtubers who just show 10 min of unboxing and all general things that company has mentioned.
Watching this on My Nothing Phone! U deserve lot more Subscribers for Ur Dedication n Honesty!
Your review videos have become short movies 😅. But, after watching your in-depth reviews, the viewers will not feel like his/her time has been wasted 😌.
Thanks for being the most honest CZcamsr in the industry. 🤠
Totally agree the only honest reviewer left.
How's he still at 3m subs it's the same for the past two years 😭
People like him deserves to grow more than Technical moron ans other crap channels😭
Absolute love sir 💗 thank you for doing this
Chapris they want him to talk in hindi
Hats off to you Sir what a detailing it is 🙏🔥
THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR
THANK YOUR SIR
The only review you need to see. Discussions on small details, software updates, daily use, etc are on point and for someone considering this phone, this will be the most helpful recommendation. Saying this after watching a LOT of other reviews from Indian and foreign channels.
As for the glyph interface, I remember when I was in college, I bought a Nokia 3220 simply because it had colorful lights all around that would pulsate based on the ringtones and also light up for notifications. I got it coz it looked cool 😁. Now, am long past that phase.
Practical & long usage reviews makes much much more sense than posting a review video after a couple of days of usage
Really need to appriciate your efforts
Now i got a clarity to purchase or not.
so are you gonna purchase it or not ?
@@Pingu_768 offcourse
Thank you sir for making a REVIEW a proper REVIEW , make more in these long length in depth .
This channel is so underrated.. need to subscription
The price of this phone is 33000+ 2000(adapter)+ 1000(case)+ 3000(wireless charging dock) =40000 if you want to use it to it's full potential... if you can invest this price and if you trust this new brand called Nothing for it's software updates, it is a good buy. Just keep in mind that phones 50% of this price offer more performance than the phone you are about to buy.
useless device bro, apart from the glyph lighting the phone has no special thing, os with bugs, quality control issues, no availability of service center's.....
No one in their right minds would buy a wireless charging pad imho, I think it was only included since they are also selling it in Europe!
Btw which phone for 50% price gives more performance, pls enlighten!?
Case is 1500 rs.
Ab tu jaake sare Samsung and apple ki price list nikal including phone+case+charger+wireless charging dock
@@sushimshah2896 no such phone, he's just bullshitting and performance isn't the only thing one consider like many mainly focus on, if they focus solely on performance for cheapest price they can go for Xiaomi phones.
Agree with most of the points raised. Although haven't really had any major bug on the phone with the 3rd update. I got a spigen wireless charger, again haven't had any huge heating issue with it.
Bro how is the wireless charging experience is it worth
Your phone is an exception bcos most Consumers have multiple complaints.
I agree.. Even mine has no major bug at all.. Having a smooth experience.
So can we safely say that device optimization is inconsistent ??
Hows the brightness in sun??
Kindly reply
OMG...you are so thorough!! Kudos
The most genuine phone reviewer in the entire youtube who does his job honestly and the only one who I can trust... amazing man amazing.
Don't trim your reviews sir, we want longer reviews like this☺️
Excellent review! Initial thoughts: I love the glyph on the back, however as soon as you slap a case on it, it gets covered! :( Maybe companies like Otterbox will create some strong clear cases or at least translucent...
No..there are specific covers for this one and you can see glyph even after protecting it with this cover.
No matter how many tech channels are out there, I always come to this channel for honest reviews. Good work.
This is what we call a Full Detailed review...👌👌👏
It is scary that the third OTA update in Nothing's history has been extremely buggy
33 mins. Ranjit sir is Serious 👀
The most detailed review of nothing phone i've seen yet ! Good One !
Koi bhi mobile k liye m sirf geekyranjit sir ka hi review dekhta hu... Hats off to you sir
Waiting since very long for this review sir, coz mujhe ye purchase Krna tha and i trust no one except you
❤
What is your decision then, will you buy?
I think Nothing Phone would have been great specially in India, had they considered:
1. IP68 rating, charger inside box instead of wireless charging,
2. Screen(max 6.4 inches) with good brightness instead of uniform bezels.
3. Instead of giving many variants it would have been better for them to manage production & save some money even if they fails by launching just one 8GB(RAM) + 256GB variant and priced at 35k.
😂😂😂
Itna satik aur sahi review kahi nahi dekha boss 😎👍
The only reliable reviewer . Had unsubscribed other tech channels too 🤣✌🏻
8:35 looks like this would become a new norm going forward.. reviewers will always mention whether the device can be unlocked using multiple fingerprints
Perfect review 👍 👍
Hat's of sir ❤️
✔️Great build quality
✔️Long term software support
✔️Stock Nothing OS
✔️Good camera and decent Chipset
That's why I ordered this phone 📱
Following you from my school life. Now i have completed my masters in 2019. Two things are constant, the quality of video and trust.
Sir it really doesn't matter how long the video is... We love in dept explanations as no other youTuber talks about it takes alot to make a such a video huge respect 🙏❣️
Battery life for the 256gb 8gb RAM varient is very bad at most you get 5-5.30 hours SOT. Ram management is pretty poor as well the 8gb varient has 5.5-6gb occupied by the system itself. If you want you go for this I'd say go for the 12gb version or skip the phone it's just not as good as its competitors.
If this phone had launched without glyph interface and wireless charging then i think cost could have been much lesser on top of that at the prices of 27k or lesser considering they are not giving charger or case then it would be the phone to go for otherwise we have better options at this price range.
Can you suggest some phones under 30?
This is man is amazing and his reviews are the best...No other can compete with him....keep up the good work man..
One of the best full review for this smart phone excellent job sir 💯👍🏽
Used wireless charging on my Hyundai Creta, phone heated up more than it does during wired charging, but not as abnormally as you mentioned. May be an issue with certain wireless chargers.
Hi Ranjit sir!
Please make a video about OnePlus's green line display issue.
There's this green/purple line issue in OnePlus phones for about 6 months and yesterday it happened to my phone. This issue has been present in all 8 series as well as 9 series of Oneplus's "Flagship" smartphones and most of these users got this green line issue after updating to Android 12.
Probably a glitch in the update is causing phone to overheat and that led to this display fault
This similar issue was present in S20+ after some software update but samsung is giving free screen replacement for it
But OnePlus is shamelessly asking every one of their user who is out of warranty to pay anywhere from 17k to 20k for a display fault caused by their Android 12 software update
You'll see thousands of complaints on various platforms like Facebook, reddit, discord and even on Oneplus's own forum complainting about it but OnePlus is turning away their eyes
Please make a video about it because we can't let OnePlus get away by using cheap quality display which only lasts the warranty period.
It's a hardware issue, the display needs to be replaced sadly. Even Samsung had that issue on
some of the Galaxy S22+ unit, but heard now that Samsung are replacing the screen for free for that issue.
@@geekyranjit I bought my OnePlus 8 pro thinking that I'll use it for 3-4years but just after 1yr 7months it's display failed. This was due to OnePlus's cheap manufacturing, I don't even have a single scratch on my phone and used it with utmost care. And this issue is present is in way too many phones to ignore, i personally see 2-3 posts everyday about this issue on an unofficial OnePlus facebook group.
OnePlus should provide free screen replacement just like samsung because it's not a customer's fault which caused the display to fail
My trust as a customer in OnePlus has shattered. Please make a video about it if you can and bring this widespread to limelight
@@geekyranjit Hello Ranjit, How good is Portrait camera in nothing phone.... Looks u missed this point...
Why did none of the users go the consumer forum? Connect with such users facing the issue,make a team and Sue them bro!
My 7t also stuck in widevine l3 license after updating to Android 11. 😑
What the??? This person did a 10 page notes just to make this one video. This is one really hard working person. We love you Ranjith.
Nice review, now i want it.
Ranjit low key flexin' the BMW
I liked it initially but now I might just go with the S20FE
A more polished experience, even tho a bit old, but flagship processor, and the amazing camera setup, although doesn't look as amazing but, I'm better off with the performance than the inhand feel
What about software update in s20 Fe 5g..?
@@viviyanvincent4932 I think it'll get the same amount of updates as the standard S20FE release cycle, it'll go till Android 13 only maybe, rest we don't know about it's lifespan
I planning to buy one from these price segment.First option is s20 Fe 5g, but I want to use my next phone for atleast 3 years that's why I concern about software update.
Do u know any other phones with best camera and battery in these price segment (Not chineese brands)..?
@@viviyanvincent4932 go with pixel 6A as after lot of so much research i am again convinced to buy pixel 6A its
• light weight, compact plastic case is safe to use so its great to have no fear of breaking
• performance in coming year will improve only that is the surety which is not there in any phone
• Camera works so clasyy amazing
• SOT is 6-7 hr atleast
• Not much heating issue it may get a little warm if you use so much but its normal as my sister's s22 has that issue
• Fingerprint issue is resolved after updates and restarting
• True original Android experience moto, nothing, OnePlus are cheap after that
• Best 5g phone of 2022 for bands
• 60hz is negative aspect but its very smooth and bright can be used not a deal breaker for me
And with card offers and exchange you can get price reduced it will be great deal as i am also going to exchange my realme 6 after that it is costing 29k-30k which is a great deal one can have
Else you can decide what are your priorities
Ranjit sir is just amazing...
Your review is "pure gold". Your simplicity is your "swag". Superb👍👍
Sir, such a detailed review ! Kudos to you.
I think glyph is important even though it's gimmick mostly, they needed something for building brand.
However I agree instead of wireless charging they should have bundled a charger or at least given the charger for people who wanted. Also , depending on what it cost to implement, they should have removed the wireless and improve the speakers/give a better display
Thanks for the detailed review was just awaiting for this
Gave me lot of insight
I always always see ur review before buying any gadget
Thank you sir…
This is bliss, One stop review for Nothing Phone (1)❤️
Always quality videos. Great job! I was hoping that all the buzz about the Galaxy Z Flip 3 might make it worthwhile for you to review. I am not a person that uses the cameras much (family attended holidays, sometimes on the job, etc.) so I'm pretty much convinced the camera setup is sufficient for me. The reviews on the battery size and the possibility of dust penetration/damage, on the other hand, are worrisome and have so far kept me from buying the phone. It's hard to judge since reviewers tend to judge based on their heavy usage, whereas they don't estimate what a phone's full charge will net for people with lower usage requirements. I love the form factor of the Flip 3 and yes, you've probably realized, I'm 58 and I did use several brands of high caliber (at the time) flip phones early in my career, and LOVED them.
Your dedication at your work is at diffrent lavel.
Best review, as always. Thank you sir!
This is the video I was waiting for
Excellent review, as usual !
Superb review till now I have not seen regarding nothing phone
Such a honest review and great video
Best in depth review on CZcams!
As always brilliant review, this is called full in-depth review. Other CZcamsrs have to watch this video before they make a full review of any device.
Thank you so much for in depth review sir.
The best CZcams Tech reviewer, watching since 2011 bought HTC desire X after watching your videos :)
