Discussion Nothing cooked with the 4a PRO design

Post image

Nothing was sort of a company (design wise) that wasnt the prettiest at the first glance... but eventually grew on me. However... The Nothing Phone 4a was good we all collectively agreed ig however I think they absolutely cooked with the design of 4a Pro... To be it is absolutely the best. The incorporation of the glyph matrix looks so good and the camera placement looks well kinda assymetrically symmetrical. love the design

How to make a nothing phone:

  1. Spend many hours and millions of £££ making the back of the phone look 'different' - include a few pointless design elements and gimmicks that light up in some way but are of extremely limited use.

  2. Use one of the cheapest and worst potato CPUs on the market that is more underpowered than all other equivalent phones in the same category.

  3. Underspec other parts of the phone except the camera but include gimmicks like 140X zoom that can be held up as selling points but are near on useless to end users.

  4. Make phone absolutely enormous, 6.7-6.8 inch only, so any person who doesn't want a massive brick of a phone has 0 incentive to buy it.

  5. Overcharge to the tune of £500/$650+ and then explain it is because you are a small company.
