Looks hideous to me!

Yep. I like the NothingOS Atari-like icons and midi sounds, but that looks fugly. Case design will be a challenge with one lens way close to the edge and the ASUS-inspired light matrix. But we only have to wait until Tuesday to know for sure.

Nothing is a gimmicky OEM. It's one and only USP seems to be "look at our rear lights".

I thought the Nothing Phone 3(a) Pro had one of the ugliest camera bumps, and this manages to be somehow worse.

There’s truth in this… but in this competitive tech space that we are in, they have to be (in an effort to gain some attention). Samsung was once labeled a gimmicky OEM at one point… not trying to insinuate that Nothing is like Samsung.

But there’s plenty of Android OEMs to choose from… to Samsung, BBK phones (Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo), Huawei, Motorola, Pixels and some other brands out there. In order to stand out from the group… I think being gimmicky has to play some kind of role.

While that is true, I think they're trying too hard.

Perhaps so, but I believe it’s accomplishing the goal… with us discussing it. I, for one… am not interested in it. But there might be some who think it’s an interesting phone to at least try out (especially Nothing stans).

As they say… “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and here is one comment from a post in the Nothing’s Reddit thread.

A very good point. While I don't like the current design either, the fact that they're taking risks is a huge plus to me. I, too, am sick of the same old slab after slab copying each other or trying to be something they're not. I get Nothing's approach, but with this one, I think it's a misfire.

 

[RSB96]

I think it's very ugly.

The phone are actually pretty good. They have a really nice stock feel Android skin with some good additions. I'm a fan.

What I'm not a fan of, though... is this leaked design. Awful. No one wants a phone to look like that IMO. Yikes.

Suddenly the iPhone tri-camera looks great!

Nothing's designs appeal to a...certain clientele. It looks like that so that normal people (are we normal?) talk about them and so that influencers show them off. They look great in a YouTube thumbnail, not so much in person.

I haven't seen anyone with one out in the wild yet, but you're right: they do look good in pictures. I actually like the 3a. Of course they don't support my carrier, though...
