Zero info about whether it has a headphone jack or a MicroSD card slot, how long the software support will last, how repairable it is...
It has microSD and up to 3 major Android upgrades (so probably 3 - 4 years of security), according to GSMArena. If it's anything like the first one, the "modularity" aspect has nothing to do with repairability and is just a gimmick.
Aaand GSMArena says no on headphone jack... Damn it.
That's been dead anyway. I would rather they include the sdcard instead of removing it in favor of 256gb internal storage.
Prices start at £219 in the UK or €249 in Europe for a model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Customers in the US can buy an 8GB/256GB model for $279 through Nothing’s beta program.
I like what they are offering. It's also not that expensive in my part of the world, on par with some other cheap Chinese phones.
That's because it is a cheap Chinese phone. Nothing does all of their R&D, engineering, software, etc... In China at the moment from the best anyone can tell. They only hire electronics and hardware engineers in China according to their postings.
The UK company registration seems just to not be another Chinese phone company so they have a marketing division there.
They are also owned by american investors.
So, nothing to be excited about.
I'll leave...
