Nothing's iMessage app wasn't its only security lapse - Android Authority
Nothing's iMessage app was pulled down due to security issues, but the CMF Watch app also had a vulnerability that Nothing partially fixed.
I’m not really sure what to say about Nothing as a company, after two generations of devices so far.
The price isn’t right, the quality isn’t really there, the entire back panel is a massive gimmick, and even the 2 is still missing features, which I won’t buy a phone in 2023 without.
What’s worse, is that they’re trying to stand out quickly by offering potentially groundbreaking things, while in reality they’re built on something fundamentally broken, like Sunbird.
The forecast is not clear
35What are the missing features you can't live without?
14In the case of the Nothing 2, specifically, the lack of a high IP rating is a huge dealbreaker. The latter will be personal preference, but I did not like the camera performance. That can be improved with software upgrades, but when we spend this much money on a device, I just don't want to drop money on a promise of something

Do you own one? i bought the phone 1 to use as a work phone and its been pretty stellar tbh. Not something to use as a daily, I'd prefer a flagship for that but the phone has been really good to me
2You said that perfectly! Everything I was thinking. 💪👍😎

I am not surprised.
The description of the app just screamed security nightmare.
It was like a man in the middle attack opt-in service.
29Yeah, it's alright. it might have cost 2$ more per phone to get some cybersecurity firm to audit all their services, fix them before launch and provide continuous monitoring. Who can afford 2$ on a 700 phone?... /S
How on earth would anybody launch a tech product without being serious on encryption and data protection in 2023?
I consider those flaws to be purposefull. Carl Pei cannot invoque the inexperience card anymore.
At least Google, Apple and Samsung protects the data they collect on their users, they know it's value and they don't want to share that money making data.
4Never liked Chinese brand phones.
They are always filled with security holes, sometimes "accidentally on purpose".
