Cons
  • Slippery to hold

$599 at Nothing

Nothing has made quite a name for itself since its 2021 debut, launching a catalog of consumer products and just recently raising$96 million for further expansion. But no business decision may be more significant than what the company has done this week.

Nothing Phone 2 is one of, if not the most, interesting slab-style phones on the market.

Nothing has launched its first smartphone in the U.S., thePhone 2 -- a move that's been on everyone's mind since the company was founded by Carl Pei, who previously led phone maker OnePlus to domestic (and global) success. It's also a move that's historically proven difficult for newer manufacturers outside of the country.

Also: Humane's smartphone-killer 'Ai Pin' may be the most 2023 product yet

So, the question now is whether or not Pei and Co have done enough to convince a market heavily comprised of iPhone and Samsung Galaxy users to make the switch. From my week of testing, I'd say the Phone 2 is off to a promising start, but there's still plenty of room to grow.
