Nothing phone (1): YouTuber takes a dig at Carl Pei on Twitter

Marques Brownlee, a tech YouTuber who goes by MKBHD, on Tuesday uploaded a video  showing his hands-on impressions of the upcoming Nothing phone (1).

Towards the end of the video, Brownlee took a dig at Carl Pei with a veiled refefence to OnePlus, co-founded by Pei. Brownlee talked about how smartphone companies try something different to build a loyal fanbase.

“...maybe if the first run is successful enough, then they can make a slightly more broadly appealing, slightly better phone overall that sells more," Brownlee said in the video, adding, "And if that one works, then they can make an even more slightly more broadly appealing phone that sells even more, and then even more broadly appealing and even more, until you’ve made a very broadly appealing phone that sells the most but that feels like it abandoned your original fan base. Sound familiar?”
