    Nothings design is a breath of fresh air. But it looks like they're pretty much doing exactly what OnePlus did back then. Enter the market with crazy good value products to reel in customers, and then successively adjust with each generation.

    • @kaiserfakinaway5909
      @kaiserfakinaway5909 2 месяца назад +19

      idk about crazy good value. They have good value but not great, other companies have caught up. If someone isn't interested in the design, then they're losing a huge chunk of the audience to others. They should've kept a normal design with better hardware like Oneplus did back in the day but ig that'd be too expensive so I think I understand why they did what they did. The Nothing phone 2 is awesome in every way it's just that the cameras aren't that great, like it's the same hardware as the Phone 1, yk you'd expect a small upgrade in cameras or something for the price hike and stuff but they didn't.
      Hope they can get big enough one day to compete better, other companies need to reduce prices ASAP, they've gotten out of control. They can try getting some photographers from youtube to help tweak their camera software just like they did for the Nothing Ear with DMS. That'd help them squeeze out whatever potential their cameras might have.

    • @RJazz909
      @RJazz909 2 месяца назад

      ​@@aaravnagpal6469 Second NP2 user here... Short answer, no. There's only 1 essential notification glyph. Whenever that one is on, I know I have a text message or a missed call. Only people who I really trust and who are important to me have my number. The rest of the glyphs light up in different patterns according to what ringtone or notification noise you use. There's several different options preloaded and then there's a feature to upload your own sounds and have the phone figure out the appropriate matching glyph pattern for it. Works great. That being said, you have the ability to customize each app and each little notification that app can give you, to make a different noise, thus making a different pattern on the glyphs when it comes through.
      Truthfully, I haven't bothered. I might one day. But for now I enjoy just having my essential glyph on demand and then my standard notification and ringtone when I'm not on "flip to glyph" mode

    Can the essential mail notifications feature target a folder in the mailbox ? If so then your issue is easilly fixed by creating rules in your mail service.
    Create a rule that moves shop sites to a shop folder, game sites to a game folder, familly and friends mails to a personnal folder, etc.. Then get the notifications to target the one you want.

    The 5 minute countdown is for back to back meetings. In an office environment you need to wrap up and get to next steps before bouncing to the next room or video conference. 20m wouldn’t make any sense for that purpose, but ideally its just a setting

    Hey Arun, i really enjoy your content and usually 100% agree with your take but for this one i think you have just misunderstood the reason for the LED notification as you can still set regular notifications for things that you need to be aware of. And for the important LED that stays on its so that when you do end up looking at your phone you know there is an important message of some sort instead of just the flash that you would get with any other notification.

Bring them back, those nice multicolor leds, that were user configurable to show various things like missed calls and notifications as well as charging status etc.

    If you remember, Xiaomi had a phone, which has one single dot of led on top of the screen which you can customize the color, for whatever notification you want. For example if you have a high priority, you can set it to red (or blue doesn't matter). It is persistent, reliable, yet simple as hell.

    I think Nothing phone is a game changer.. love the concept.. especially the two cute eyes and glyphs.. 🔥🔥🔥 performance wise its gonna be on par with other phones on that range
