Nothing unveils the Nothing Phone 2

Nothing has officially launched its second-generation smartphone —the Nothing Phone 2 — and the company is expanding availability to new markets.

While similar looking to the Nothing Phone 1, the new smartphone has some distinct features, including individually illuminated LEDs and a larger display.

Simple answer, we're a miniscule market that isn't worth the effort.
 
Good dawg YouTuber

Mrwhosetheboss dropped his first impressions yesterday (alongside Nothing CEO Carl P).

I must be honest. I listened to the majority of the launch vid and all I hear are keywords and jargon - mostly related to the look. Innovation, ergonomics.... Blah.
I came away with the major points being:
- the design is more refined. Looks like the 1 mostly.
- the glyphs have a few new features.

That was it. Waxing lyrical about the look of the phone left me thinking they have little new to offer. They berated the iPhone because Apple keep punting their winning formula because it sells phones, but is boring... then proceeded to tell us how the 2 is basically a more premium looking 1. Where's the innovation?

Is it the glyphs? Or is it a "look at me, I have a different looking phone". Could be any phone with a cover. I lold when he said "higher resolution when describing the shapes in the back.

I do like the full alu plus glass body.

What phones do you actually like? Have your views towards "idiotphone" you used to go on about changed?
