Nothing isn’t for the techies, its for people who think they are techies but actually they are middle managers who like apple but have a shred of self-respect.

They’re OK phones but tbh making an OK phone in this stagnating landscape is not exactly rocket science. The lights are cool, I guess. The current landscape basically has everyone trying differentiators to get sales from people who have a 5+ years old phone and are pushed to upgrade by software. Samsung is going on screens, apple has their walled garden and everyone besides the giants needs to figure out something that will keep them relevant in a sea of latest snapdragon chips and high-res Samsung or LG screens. Lights are that for Nothing.

Apparently I’m going to be a bit of a dissenting opinion, but I think they’re interesting as an option. The appeal of “as-stock-as-possible” Android on a mid-high range phone is where I land in what I want. It’s why I had a 1+ 5T and now a 1+ 8Pro, but continued software and OS issues with their version of Android and just continued price climbing and parity with the shitty OPPO OS they are using has me searching elsewhere.

I left Samsung with the…Galaxy S3? I think? And have had no will to return to their bullshit. I had an LG Nexus 5x that bricked itself, which isn’t a glowing review of the brand in my eyes. Pixel is the next closest competitor, but I don’t care for camera power, so it’s large selling point is way down on my priority list. Nothing is as good an option as any for what I am usually looking for, tho I may wait for this cycle to complete and see what Phone 3 looks like.
