Nothing OS is Painful.

MuhammadZiyad nothing phones and earbuds are unfinished products, I pity the people who keep on buying them just because there is too much of hype for them.

The camera on nothing phone 1 is horrible and if you say this in the community, the moderators hide your posts and/or give you a warning.

Wolverine you are write bro, nothing focus only currently lunched product and no proper testing before software update.

What’s stopping you from installing custom roms? Don’t expect any forum support from here.

I’m waiting for NOS 3.0 if it sucks, custom rom it is. And next phone is prolly not gonna be nothing. Came for a great experience but both the software and camera (NP2) reallyyyyy disappointed me. They were comparing themselves to iPhones and samsungs of the world and hyped up so much and gave “Nothing” in return. Ah, the irony.

HariSankarD If I identify a software issue, some community members blame me and suggest that I change my phone.

RavishKumar just voice your problems, there’ll always be blind fan boys that hate on criticisms

No OS/Company is perfect, my experience with:

Samsung A30s (OneUI) - too much bloatware in the UI. The RAM management is crap and its a pain to use it as a daily driver cause duh, nothing uninstalls! Smasnug Pay for no reason, Smasnug health, Smasnug Max(what in the world is this) and more BS!

Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (MIUI) - My phone is dead because of a single update. It was a disaster because I wasn’t alone. Plus the ads in the UI along with the bloatware.

iPhone 13 (IOS) - No multitasking, bad for audiophiles(no Hi-Res along with a good equaliser), No AOD, very poor customisation plus everything on the screen feels very crowded(my opinion)!

Phone 2 (NOS) - bad RAM management, terrible battery after most of the updates, still lacks feature it should have had from the start.

I don’t blame though, the battery was terrible everywhere (except iPhone or so I thought but turns out, the idle drain was off charts because the numbers barely moved infront of me) but not as bad as NOS! There is no bloatware too. NOS just needs some work, lets see what 3.0 puts on the table!

M1st brother I like Nothing ui but after Android 14 update many problems occurs.

Malix since you are a software engineer I have a question for you. I play Efootball2024. It was running perfectly well without any heating at all at highest settings. After 2.5, 2.6 updates it heats up quickly and starts dropping frames. While other games like COD Mobile run perfectly. What could be the reason? I have reset the device multiple times but still no solution.

Malix May be you are not used to it. Your points are correct but I knew what I was paying for and pretty happy with it. Ever growing electronics world you can’t expect much updates on any product of what it was from day 1. I love XDA in that matter and devs keeping older devices alive.

They have to work on the os that’s really true

I bought the phone 1 because I thought it would be the cheapest nearest experience to a Pixel phone, clean software and slick UI performance, that was far from being true, with android 12, the experience was ok, not the smoothest experience, or something snappy, as many review videos claimed. The real issue came with the update, android 13, the latest stable release was so much better, smoother and greater experience, but, with the android 14 update, the experience is really crap. Laggy and choppy animations, really ruin the experience significantly. I do not personally care about gaming, didn’t purchase this phone for that, I just don’t want to see any stutter animation in not really complex tasks, like going from social media apps like tiktok or Instagram to the home. I don’t think that’s something impossible, due to the fact that custom roms achieve that, like pixelOS or lineageOS for example, being those ones that I used myself for a while. A bit of deception is what really express nothing OS for me.

All Nothing products have some kind of problems, I guess it’s due to them having so much on the table they couldn’t eat kind of situation. Nothing is quite young and ambitious but it has a small team,resources and budget compared to their competitors.

For now anyone who’s gonna buy their products has to lower thier expectations on their services.

But I do have a bit of confidence in them that they’ll eventually improve and scale up. Then they’ll definitely be able to provide robust products.
