Editorial
UK's only phone maker keeps releasing unique midrange devices that focus on stand-out hardware and software design. Performance, battery and camera - the 3 things most people demand keep Nothing phones a niche product and it is a big missed opportunity. Still, if you can find it for a low price, this is a very nice phone with a great screen, interesting build and tons of unique software and AI features.
