Having a copycat is a sign that you made it, you’re successful.
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

That mediocrity can pay to greatness. That's the full quote
iMessage laughing in the corner 😅
i mean they are oneplus. they have been
Apple laughing!
When you've made such a revolutionary design, you'll expect nothing less than people copying and mimicking it. Kudos to Nothing for being able to laugh it off.
They should sue the copycats
Half of these products came out before the nothing phone.
Revolutionary design lol.. they literally just copied apple 😂
What a magnificent way to lick balls.... Pal
@@illfuckugoodbro apple copies half of the things that android makes. Also what did they copy from apple
The buds aren't really copies IMO, they're just actually see through, yours are kinda transparent but not really see through
it's like the phone 2's back has more depth because of the trans$parent back plate, but you can't actually see any internal component (even the coil is a plastic deco with the real one beneath). Showing the actual insides is also cool, I personnaly really like it
Translucent is the word you are looking for
translucent/transparent tech has been around FAR beyond the nothing phone, yet they added it here
@@zellzoidesigns "Sit down with the Nothing Design team as they review products oddly similar to our own as well as past tech products that may have inspired us." - The video description. The latter portion was items that they were inspired by.
Yeah, there's a difference between using transparent design elements vs using transparency to have visible components. The Apple mouse has clear plastic but it doesn't actually show anything. The handset phone is clear to show the internals. The latter is far more interesting.
yeah, that video is kinda weird
I like how they kinda like "look at these bad transparent copycats" and then goes to "look at these ancient transparent tech that we copied from"
Actually, Nothing just restores a fun trend that already existed, doesn't create anything new, and I think it's just good
And like you said. “just good” but not great. beats studio buds are 100% more reliable than Nothings earphones.
I mean the Phone does look bad, but the beats look super clean.
Apple and reliable isn't a synonym I've been hearing about in the past years thoo@@luisvuitton475
beats sound quality sucks
@@luisvuitton475
Not copy. It’s inspired 😂
the fact that they were able to call out upcoming products as copies for being transparent without getting any backlash is just insane
yeah you can tell they have a some level of ego which is good and thats how the face of a company should be. Still makes them look cocky
Especially when their phone looks like an iPhone, and their OS is basically trying to be iOS.
@@timelytorch😂 it's nothing like the IOS
@@timelytorchTrying to be iOS?😂 Stop smoking your socks...😂
@@timelytorchwhat
You should also make a video where you react to all the similarities in physical design between the nothing phone (1 & 2) and the iPhone 12 and/or above. You are no exception with regards to this subject yourselves.
Yeah it's not like it couldn't be argued what they do is pretty gimmicky. Outside of the glyph stuff you'd be hard pressed to find something they do that's 'innovative'.
@@TheMach1nistnothing Os?
i agree, im a biiig fan of nothing phone, but hipocrisy in this video sounds almost like a bait:D I have nothing phone 1 myself
It low key seems like iPhone X from the back with sides from iPhone 12, and the transparent thing is not even their invention lol.

Watching Nothing (channel) on Nothing (phone 2) makes me appreciate my phone even more
But not your camera setup
watching Nothing On Nothing makes me appreciate my Nothing even more
@@LemCODMmuch better:)
@@Siddharth_x17the camera is quite good, in the new test of marques, it was as good as the I phone 15 pro I think, soooo yeah. Bad Point :)
@@felixtheile9648 i genuinely struggle to believe you. if u can provide evidence behind it then I'll take your word for it but there's nothing wrong with not having your product be the best at everything.
Seeing the real electronics inside is something I personally love.
Personal preference: if the LEDs glow green for WhatsApp, blue for Facebook, orange for charging, I think it would add an extra layer of customization to the Gliph lightings. May be in Nothing Phone 3! 😊
yeah would be cool, but like they said, would be a big distraction and would be to much "glowly"
Agreed, I love the clean white LEDs, but some colors used sparingly could add some more versatility. Also, maybe drawing some inspiration from the dot-matrix typeface Nothing uses, as well as Samsung's old LED view case, to implement a led array display on the back of the device that can show very simple information.
That was on samsung for years
What tf do u ppl mean by distraction? That's literally like saying that RGB keyboards on pc's are a distraction but clearly, they're not@@pedrocosta2523
They have a monochrome theme in OS, they try to blend everything in and reduce distractions, and what you are suggesting is completely opposite
One thing I would say about transparent products is that just because you're showing a PCB here, or a capacitor/resistor there doesn't mean that it's inherently ugly. For instance, the teardown skins that dbrand sells that shows the inside of the phone as is on a skin are my #1 favorite skins for any product they offer it for, and I'm not even close to being alone on that.
P.S. Idk where else to put this but please for the love of god consider getting rid of the screenshot shortcut on the recent apps for NothingOS, or AT LEAST give us the option to just turn it off. Realistically, it just needs to be replaced with the "Clear All" button. I can think of very little legitimate use cases where I would want to use that button to take a screenshot instead of just using the normal button combo. If there are any, they definitely aren't as frequent as wanting to close all your open apps, and having to scroll through all your open apps to exit them takes almost as much effort as just closing them out one by one. It doesn't even offer much mechanical benefit, if at all. As it is now, I have developed a daily routine of going into my pictures at the end of the every day to delete of the screenshots that I will inevitably take on accident trying to close my open apps. I absolutely love pretty much everything else about this OS except for that, and just wanted to share the feedback.
Ironic how you’re saying Apple/Beats is copying. Who copied first eh?
😂
Both Apple and Nothing copied decades old design features🤷♂️
It's always nice to hear stories fr designers, thx Nothing!
I will wait for the nothing phone 3 to change my actual phone, i love your products!!!!
The Phone 2 is amazing. I love mine and can't think of what could be better 😂
I'm thinking the same. I use Pixel 5 but it is EOL and planned to buy Pixel 9 next year, but really considering Nothing 3 if the camera evolve further and the software support extends to 5 year.
@@The6thPeacockit's a cool phone but except for the glyph there is nothing special about it.
I have the phone 2 but I really dislike the button placement and that the screen isn't symmetrical when watching streaming services because of the punch hole.
No one can match or share the same stage as U guys have and ur design ur software , Everything is just amazing ... Hats off to u guys ❤
We don't hear Samsung complaining about people copying them...eagles don't worry what chickens are doing
I had the Phone 1 for a year and now the Phone 2 and I love both of them! The last times I really had fun with technology and design was when I used to rock my colorful Nokia Lumia Phones (830 & 1520)
LMAO the Glyph itself is a gimmick, so it's quite funny to hear them say the glowing LED lights on the knockoff a "gimmick" lol!
The translucent beats studio buds are 100% more reliable than nothings
Finally someone with common sense.
It's just a cheap knock off from a car's underglow lights but in the phone.
There's nothing innovative.
I HONESTLY LOVE NOTHING . UR IDEAS OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS SO AWESOME AND NOTHING PHONE STAND DIFFERENT AND BETTER IN THE SOCIETY. LOVE UR VIDEOS AND UR PRODUCT SO MUH
There is also the unihertz jelly star. Which is literally a bean shaped mini phone with glyph-like lights inside. It's absolutely hilarious
How do they have the audacity to say "They Copied Us!?" when the Nothing Phone’s design is just a iPhone 12 but with a hole punch and a transparent back with LEDs
There are many tws that looks like airpods all white plastic can not they be call copycats too or they copied apple too 😂😂😂
All people are saying it because of the boxy shape but come on it is diffrent i mean carl pei on the iphone 14 pro review he said that all phones are just screen on the front nowadays but we did do something unique on the back so it is not same and if you talk about the boxy shape it is the most space efficent way to make a phone he also said that if you talk about buttons it is similar i can live with that i argued with the design team on why it has to be that similar but i lost the argument hopefully i can win the next argument
What about Harman Kardon soundsticks series. They are iconic
Nothing phone 1 ... please roll out nothing OS 2.5.
Android 14
It already is
Stop the begging 😂
It's out you can download the beta version but it's better if you wait for the stable version
Yeah right?, you're not gonna get reborn after the update.
i heard its inssanely buggy so ima stick to 2.05
Have a copycat as a copycat is just another level
There are many tws that looks like airpods all white plastic can not they be call copycats too or they copied apple too 😂😂😂
Seeing the actual electronics is what I want. Nothing phone is just a window with a facade behind it. seems like all of the intersting electronics are still covered.
The little jbl buds case shape is actually kinda great. Feels good and flat on the back is nice. + it can balance on the charging port lol
nothing made it, absolutely baller of them to laugh it off and be mature of it. love the vids
To be honest, i absolutely adore that Nothing has created something "new" with the LED transparent design. However .. i wonder why it did not go the whole way .. but instead decided to pretty much copy the iPhone style. The iPhone is not the be all and end all. Apple makes decent designs (from my pov, certainly not the best .. because Apple is VERY conservative)
By making an iPhone X with a sort of sharp edged frame (like the iPhone 12) ... the whole thing looks like an iPhone X with a fancy case.
Transparency ... do your own thing:
- go for under display front cameras (red magic, ZTE Axon etc.)
- create your own design language .. and stick to it. Every phone maker has decided to primarily go with a "identifiable" camera module - because that is pretty much the only thing to differentiate them. Samsung has the 3 vertical cameras, Apple the triangular patch. Huawei has their "eye of muse" or so (same with their subbrands Honor), Xiaomi has decided to go with an odd stove top. .... and Nothing - well ... has copied Apple on the single most differentiating thing.
- make use of the LEDs more. As a user, you do not see them very much ... they are, in the end - just a notification LED. But i can see it as an ambient backlight, a clock or a ring-light even.
Can you please remove the white navigation bar when using gestures? And also have an option to disable the screenshots with buttons? I keep making screenshots by mistake
When you make a screenshot, it pops up in bottom left alongside a few options. If it was an accidental screenshot, you can just delete it right away. Maybe doesn't solve your issue 100% but makes it a whole lot better likely
If this is your solution, then if there's an accidental shutdown problem in a phone, your solution will be like - "there's a power button on the side of your phone , just press it and turn on whenever you're phone's shutdown" ?
@@anto_p_jose I don't get the hostility. I'm not denying that their problem is a real problem, nor am I saying there's nothing to improve upon. But changes won't appear overnight, so I went out of my way to suggest them a decent enough workaround until Nothing does something about it.
@@Decimalis I know I can delete the screenshot but that is not a solution to the problem. It is like if I have a TV in the remote doesn't work you recommend that I should use the buttons on the TV. Either way thanks
@@marcossanchez7434 That was what I intended to give you, a temporary workaround until an issue is addressed officially. I said that from the start in my original comment. It will not fix your issue, it's just a temporary way to help make it not as jarring.
Everyone does what they can to keep their head over water, even mimicking trends and aesthetics that are popular.
Unrelated but I just wanna say thank you guys so much. I got the phone (2) delivered yesterday and I'm so in love. The attention to detail in both the software is insane. Y'all are absolute champs! 👏🏽
I really want it too! Just waiting for a good deal. Literally, the only phone that made me go "Wow, that's really cool, I want that" since Samsung s7 edge
what's the update after using it for almost 2 weeks?
@@beastasif not the commenter, but I've been using it for about a week. And it's amazing. The software experience is the smoothest I've ever seen, but the main highlight of course is the design. Almost everyone who notices it asks about it.
And it just feels satisfying to use and look at, if you're into design at all. Otherwise a few cons would be, the back camera is average, it's not bad, but it's not great either. But they do send a lot of updates, so it is improving.
Another very minor con is the app drawer doesn't have folders as of now. These are the only two things I've found I didn't like about the phone. Otherwise, the performance is very good, battery life is very good. Overall, I'd recommend it.
@@beastasif Excellent phone overall. The updates made the camera really good as well. I'm absolutely loving it!
i love my Nothing phone 1 very much !
very well done for creating that phone !
the gliph interrface though... i've never used it.
I agree. It's definitely a gimmick. Gets people to talk/look at the phone. But other than that it's a great phone.
@@Jthall1990 they have more ideas for glyph interface but they don't have the resource to develop those they said overtime when they get stronger they will develop it and gimmick will be gone
To be honest, the tech that show you the insides reminds me of the US jail tech.
Like I have a super rare iPod Classic (5gen I believe) and it has clear back cover and front and it was designed by some special company which made such stuff for prison inmates. They did all sort of stuff like clear flat screen TVs, diskman, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, all sorts of radios, headphones, console controllers, android tablets and many more.
The old phone in your video is also something that was allowed to take to some of the lower security prisons.
The clear cases were made so that the people couldn't sneak in any forbidden stuff hidden in those devices.
But in the end I don't know the full story or the idea behind the company that made those clear devices since I'm from the EU and only saw such devices on eBay and FB Marketplace when I set the "seller location" to the US
I think that there's a very thin line between all of the products, their copies, the inspirations that basically led to all of this. I still hear a lot of people say that the glyphs are gimmicky and to a very certain degree i agree. I have the Phone(1) and i dont think we understand the full potential of the glyphs yet but as far as implementation of it goes, looking at the copied phone makes you realize how well the Nothing team has done with the glyphs, making every possible effort to focus on the product, the look, the feel, the way glyphs work is just exceptional and IMO done right.
I bought Nothing Phone 1 love it, but man i wish really you could configure the sidebuttons like an Action button, and have the volume down and up OSD on the Right side then Left would be perfect imo atleast
each Designer had a watch on his wrist, would love to see each do a small review of its design i think that would be interesting
My family had that see through home phone when I was a kid! I just thought it was sooo cool!
You made the first transparent back phone. It doesn't mean you own transparency
lol exactly, just because its transparent doesn't mean they copied
They didn't even do that. There have been plenty of transparent back phones.
No one does transparent things and nothing is doing this to be different because carl the ceo said as a tech company if you don't differentiate yourself there is no reason for you to exist
You can copy their pricing. That would be nice.
OK, we need to know more about the brussels griffon. So adorable
copying is not always a bad thing as this means that your item is worth investing in
Yo nothing I love all of the products and I recently bought a pair of nothing ear sticks and the case on them is jamed and I really don't know how to fix it I have already tried reaching out to customer support but I have gotten no response so this is kinda my final effort to try and get them fixed
Both earbud cases beat nothing in my opinion because of size. I have the nothing earbuds and the apple airpods and I rarely use the nothing earbuds anymore, because they are terrible to carry around. You absolutely feel the difference and once you go small case, then you can't go back
Why would you use the nothing ear earbuds over the airpods?
I mean the airpods are way better in every way. But they cost more than double... You cant compare those without speaking of price.
@ I first had the nothing earbuds, then upgraded it. My beef is with the nothing company claiming that their case is better than the Beats Studio Buds? Size is way more imporant and you can feel it in your pocket. The beats studio buds are about the same size as the apple earbuds, since apple bought beats. That's why I am complaining. If they don't make the size smaller then you can forget purchasing the nothing earbuds. They are terrible to carry around
They literally put leds on the back of a phone and call the other gimmicks lol
This is how the world works...
it’s cool from others to learn from you.
Don’t hate on them...
Just focus on your work and it will never been forgotten.
you dont know how long i was waiting for the phone review
"that nothing is being noticed" 😂I legit chuckled when this was said at 8:00.
Recently got cmf nothing buds pro which was actually good for 2 or 3 days ..after 3 days on tap and holding left ear bud ..the ANC turned on and left ear bud disconnect from phone( nothing phone 2) and only right bud working with ANC...repeated unpairing ..connecting etc ..still problem exist😢.
They're trying to have their JerryRigEverything/DBrand moment😂😂
Imagine a nothing phone with the transparent landline phone color way ❤
the unihertz version is not bad at all . Nothing phone is a copy of Iphone also.. transparent back cover is not new , I used to have transparent back cover on my Iphone 4 before.
Love to see when the team is talking why this project is bad, not just 'it sucks'
6:54 omg they did mention the gameboy with transparent case. I had one of them, Miranda special edition, transparent orange shell. Loved it but somehow my dump young self lost it somewhere in the neighbor's house :(((
Nothing phone owner. I actually own two Unihertz phones the Jelly and Titan and they are really novel designs and good phones. Look at their Titan and then say that all phones look the same, they are doing interesting things at least .
Can’t wait for nothing phone 3 I want that to be my first phone ❤
My opinion of nothing has fallen so drastically over the past year, just because other technology is transparent doesn't mean it's a copycat. Transparent technology has been around for longer than I can remember. With the exception of the first phone from unihertz, very egotistical to assume that all these other products are copycats
Kan. Benda2 ni semua kan biasa je. Apa lah sangat inovasi yang Nothing ni buat. Cuma phone dengan LED kat belakang. Benda biasa je. Ada hati nak kritik produk orang lain...
@@syazwantheboogies8616those led lights actually have a use 😂
"here are all the transparent products that came before our company and inspired us" "anyway, here are all the transparent products that came after our company and copied us"
"Our non-addressable, non RGB lights on the back of the phone aren't a gimmick, but this other phone's addressable RGB lights ARE a gimmick)
@@izanefe4231 couldn't agree more
"This is something" love it
My next phone is definitely a nothing my one plus after strong performance for 5 years is sterting to fade imprrssed by it, hoping the same with carl new venture
Even though this is a company which is starting out, I gotta admit. Their products are way better than i expected
I teach Ethics and I used your video for one of my demonstrations on the topic of Hypocrisy. Thankyou.😊
Where is the link to buy these product?
Can't wait for Nothing (phone 3) :D
Nothing's team thinks differently. That is the USP of Nothing. Wishing them all a great 2024. ❤😊
Can phone 3 go with the anti glare glass? And the backside as well. I want to use phone without the case but the finger print makes almost impossible to put my phone outside. Foggy glass back i wouldn't mind tho.
I think this is the only brand that uploads casual content aside from trailers and announcements
Oh yeah, million dollar idea, make the LEDs, RGB, so that you have individual control and notification of apps, such as Blue for Facebook, Cyan for Twitter, Purple for messenger, and make the LEDs be able to show a rainbow for an incoming call while making the design the same or cleaner
Ive got a samsung galaxy j7 prime and it does that 😭but yk the light kinds small 🤏🏻
Beings a young adult born in 99, i wish i could see or experience the first “I MAC”, i have only glimpses of it.
I'm Nothing Phone 2 user , waiting for an camera update to improve portraits , details when zoomed in , HDR processing, natural look ,videography etc..
Exactly 😢
Is there an Nothing music app that when you download music from internet, it places in music app? Pls answer
The JBLs look better than the nothings in my opinion, I don't want the company to decide what not to show me just put a transparent shell on and show me everything.
look how none of them are using a cmf watch tho
The game boy color is so nostalgic ❤
With old things coming back how about you bring back the headphone jack? That, a solid and really good camera, and OS updates is an instant buy for me
By designing it to look good when clear do you mean only being able to see a couple of ribbon cables and the wireless charging coil? I don't think it takes much work to cover things up with black plastic.
They gotta give credit for the colourful glyph light
Bought the noting phone 2. Great price to performance ratio. Cheers.
Your phone is looking like a iPhone 12 with lights on their back
With iPhone X cameras
Please give us Android 14 soon for Nothing Phone 1
"its something"
'THE SOMETHING PHONE!'
Jbl transparent headphones have been around longer than the nothing buds
The first phone was literally the only thing that looked liked they copied nothing.
I've used Nothing 1 and recently 2 but went back to OnePlus 😅
im sorry but nothing is not the first company to do transparent electronics! this design technique has been around since at least the 80's
Honestly, at least it has a tripple camera setup 😅 jokes aside please nothing, it's hard to convince friends & family to join nothing when the camera setup is more aligned to 2020. It's like you have a porsche from a design perspective and a then have a plastic seat to sit on.... you have done such great work but to stay relevant (because the pricing won't be a convicing factor looking at that of the phone 2 we really need a camera setup that matches the flagships (you can cut somewhere else but the zoom should really be standard...) 🙏🏻
10000% pleasssseee!!!
I have the biggest respect for Nothing for their approach, but I agree with you, they could basically keep the phone the same and just improve the camera (and video) I know it sounds easy 😂 "just improve camera" but what I mean is: tripple camera is a must if you want to be relevant and compete. and if you want to exceed the goal must be to get the videos aligned to iphone quality (which seems impossible) but most players, even if they have 4k, stay stuttery compared to the smoothness of Iphone for example
@@J.W-sp4tqagree on this, I know we're asking for a lot 😂 but same design and 2024 camera setup (3 lenses) and you have me a winner that can convince anyone. On the flipside keep it at two and this could be a killer for nothing as a company
Unihertz IN SHAMBLES. Imagine getting beat down by an actual design and UI team. Woosh
You guys really need to give us an update if Nothing Phone 3 will come soon. With the new Samsung Galaxy S24 coming out very soon, I need options since I am shopping for a new phone. Samsung's student discounts and deals are quite persuasive but wont last forever. Just one hint of the Nothing Phone 3 and I will immediately wait for that instead.
I would love to be a part of your Design group. Clean | minimalistic ideology.
The mouse that they saw with the imac g3 is the apple pro mouse
You guys started it, there you go.
Brrr beats as good as nothing buds and I had beats it best part is it hides in ear it saves me so much
You should also try something without any stick, but thank you
They even copied the apple camera
Apple didn't invent vertical camera position every phone in the market has vertical camera layout everything is not copy of apple
When is the phone 3 coming i don’t want to get the 2 if it’s close
Be so good that you find yourself being copied, rather than being overthrown.
Keep up!
seeing this makes me appreciate you guys chose to to do 1 color for the glyphs. having 3 or more makes the phone look cheap and like a toy. pls stick to the white or if you must... have phones versions with 1 color each. the logical choice is REd since itseems like the prominent color for Nothing outside white gray and black.
Colors not coming to glyphs because as nothing say colors add another layer of complexity
The Luna's very obviously a copy, but it's a better version of your rear lighting concept (assuming they eventually get its customization right). Imagine being able to choose a color for specific notifications, messages or contacts. That isn't just "distracting", as one of you said; it's better.
Edit: The quality of the lights themselves is an issue, but I would assume the Luna's cheaper than your phone.
make the gransparent glass, so you can blurr it
damn a company that both makes tech AND VIDEOS
hi
I'm planning to buy Nothing Phone 2 and I'm not quite sure if it's good or I should go for Samsung s23.
don't get me wrong I don't care about the flagship phones but I need to be sure about buying this phone because I'm planning to use it for 3 years.
I've seen so many reviews and I LOVE everything about the phone 2 but I need to be sure if it's a good choice, like I've seen HyperOS and OneUI features but I wanna know if the NothingOS will have the features that other companies are providing such as small AI things used in Gallery or Camera updates since I've read that people are complaining about cameras and saying it can be better in the future updates.
thank you!
just wait and get the nothing 2a
I want to get a Nothing phone tbh, I got an S22 rn but I'm not sure if tmobile works with Nothing.
The biggest bug I can say in my nothing phone 2 is that the phone's audio player automatically pause the music or no volume if the player is playing, there is no specific time gap in that it pauses in very irregular manner, and to play music u have to tap the play pause button then music starts, I am a music lover this glitch make music listening experience bad very bad plz solve it
Camera quality is really the differentiating factor for phone purchases for existing iPhone users.
Hi Nothing,
Those who are thinking of buying the phone 2,.. should they buy it or wait for phone 3?
Thank you
