❌ The Major Drawback: It Won’t Become a Reality

The prototype shown in the video won’t actually be produced. Nothing’s CEO, Carl Pei, explained that a device like this would be extremely difficult to bring to market for several reasons:

1. Cooling System Issue: The liquid cooling system would make the phone ergonomically impractical.
2. Production Costs: Considering R&D and manufacturing expenses, the phone’s price would soar to around $3,000.
3. Nothing’s Market Focus: The company primarily specializes in high-quality mid-range phones, making it unlikely for them to venture into the ultra-premium market.
