Yeah, they aren't going to compete with Apple.

Yeah. Clear bodies won't sway the Apple faithful. It may look cool, but that's so 2022 now.

Mentioning apple obviously gets the headlines but Pei should be smart enough to know it's samsung he is competing with in the USA. If someone wants an iphone, they buy an iphone. If someone wants an android phone samsung is the default choice in the USA.

I wouldn't say they can compete with Samsung, either. OnePlus and Motorola are Nothings competitors in the US. *Maybe* they will be able to compete with A series Samsung phones to a degree... but I don't think most normal folks are going to look at a Samsung and a Nothing next to one another and choose the Nothing.

Pei also talked a bunchg of marketing nonsense about the SoC lol. Yeah, sure, you totally went with the 8.1+ rather than the 8.2 because it's "proven" and not because you don't have the pull or money to source the 8.2.

They are not taking on Apple. If they want to take on Apple, they'll need a foldable phone.

Everything from the name of the company to the extra expense of LED lights and their marketing is nonsensical. They need to target a specific user: runners, pilots, women, outdoors, underwater scuba divers, photographers, movie makers, teenagers, etc. Their phone's crappy camera and battery-wasting LEDs, lack of US support, USB 2.0 on the first phone makes most phone users want to stay clear of them.

I don't think Android manufacturer should worry about Apple as they really haven't innovated a long time but make great products. Android manufacturer needs to concentrate on Android and it's devices and the rest will fall into place as both worlds are using 2 different operating system.
