titanOmega I wonder how much is difference in firmware and effort paid to each market.
I use the -EEA variant of the firmware and I assume you use the -IND variant.
I have one single minor issue with charging after the NOS 3.0 stable update. With a third-party adapter, I get 28-30W charging if the screen is unlocked and only 12W charging if it is locked. Thus, it seems that PPS isn’t active on PPS-enable PD 3.0 chargers with the screen locked. I don’t get all of these other failures that people mention and my phone gets used heavily by my two children when I’m not using it. I’m getting more than 10h SOT going from 100% to 15% battery. I can see a phantom touch, but that’s due to the garbage by kids cram in between the phone and it’s case.
THE FACTORY-INSTALLED SCREEN PROTECTOR IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE THO … however, this is a very inexpensive phone for the UK market, so I can kinda understand it. Cheaper than a Samsung A16 5G as an example.
Another option is the final hardware used and where assembly occurs. From what I’ve read the IND market uses IND-specific hardware and assembly, which might cause some of the issues.
There were also some NOS 2.6 updates that were -IND only and we didn’t get them in the EEA.
I assume that NOTHING sells more high-end phones in the EEA market than the EEA market and might handle that hardware/updates better as the profit margin will be higher, but again, this is all speculation.
