A BYD plant being in India explains a lot about the pricing of Nothing Phone 1 in India. The Phone 1 initially launched at around 40,000 INR (~500 usd) but in the suddenly the prices fell to 30,000. This was probably when they started manufacturing the phones sold in India in Chennai.

@TimelyTurtle 11 ай бұрын

it even went below 26k in Sales, and at that Price Nothing (1) is Far better than any other competitors.

@IcyB-xg6xs 11 ай бұрын

@@TimelyTurtle would've been true around a month ago. I think Moto edge 40 is the best buy in that price bracket (as a competitor to NP1). I think there's also a realme device with an SD888 that goes for 25K at times. Still, I do not regret my decision to get an NP1. It's been almost 6 months now and I love this device.

@@IcyB-xg6xs absolutely true but in my opinion Motorola is now the Old Redmi, I mean they provide a good specs to price but their Camera sucks just like Redmi used to be before. Whereas NP1 is good in every aspect, btw I might buy NP2 if it comes under 35k (in sale may be)

You've met Carl Pei, the creator of my favourite smartphone ever: the OP7. I hate notches: OP7 had the best popup camera ever. I love curved screens: OP7 had one And everything else was just perfect. Only way to make a better smartphone would be to add a removable battery. Mister Pei, I you release a Nothing with a popup camera, I'll buy your phone(s) blindly.

This video taught me something really interesting and yet still underwhelming; You can start a generic android phone company with little to no experience and little to no in-house production, by outsourcing everything including the software and only designing the back glass/ cover shape. I think that should be a thing too Diy phone where you choose the chasis shape and size from 2 or 3 options and then all the other components depending on your budget

I have a nothing phone and I have been using it every day for a year or so. The input responsiveness is laggy sometimes and the lockscreen glitches and hangs sometimes. These things might be forgivable if it weren't for a serious flaw with the camera. Apparently the phone has a 12mp and a 50mp mode. You take the same picture with each mode in bright daylight, zoom in, and there is literally no difference between the two images. Maybe this is one of the outsourcing companies cutting corners? Anyway, I won't be buying another nothing phone.
