This is the iPhone 14 Plus.. Hold it..
I know, it's not, and yet even if a lot of it does look like a phone we've yet to see, I think there's a far bigger story behind this particular product.
See, making a phone is hard. It’s easy to sit here and criticize them, but those of us who have visited factories and seen the difficulties of the craft have learned to appreciate all the effort there is behind turning ideas into products, and especially because most don't succeed. The market is so cut throat that it doesn’t even matter how large your company.. RIP LG and HTC.
And yet, wanna know what’s harder? To make a good phone. We’ve always said that three is the magic number for a product to go from just ok to really good. It wasn’t until the iPhone 3GS, Galaxy S3 and OnePlus 3 that we saw the implementation of those ideas walk the talk, and even then, ideals were missing. It wasn’t until the iPhone 4, Galaxy Note 4 and OnePlus 10 Pro that we saw good cameras, for example.
I give you all this introduction to provide context for how difficult it was for some of the best companies to get it right, so it’s kind of baffling to me to sit here and tell you that a new startup with less than 50 people in two offices in London has pretty much nailed most of that struggle on the first try.
This is the Nothing Phone (1), what the company calls as Pure Instinct, and what I’m gonna call one of the most interesting shockers of 2022. Whether you agree or disagree with their marketing, It’s hard to deny how impressive it is for this phone to be all it is, cost so little, and all in generation 1. I’m Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is our full review.
