It's literally just the OnePlus business model from scratch and people are eating up like it's new as if they won't be hating the brand 5 years from now. The founder is even the exact same guy. I don't get how people are falling for it a second time.

I mean there's really no reason to stay loyal to a phone brand of all things. All phones are pretty much the same so pick the one you like. OnePlus used to make some decent phones. Nothing might too. So why not? And when they fuck it up you can buy something else.

i don't think that's necessarily falling for it, it's appreciating it for what it is. i personally don't see the nothing as equivalent to oneplus[^1], but if it was the modern equivalent to the op1 or op3 i think it'd be worth getting. i have no brand loyalty to 1+ (i doubt i'll ever buy another 1+ phone) but damn if the op1 wasn't the best value for money phone i ever bought.

[^1]: the only similarity is the "close-to-stock" rom as far as i can see, and oneplus didn't even do that until all the issues with cyanogen
