Ealesy101 hey man…can you confirm if he meant to release the ai features or the phone(3) itself by 2025?

      I don’t know if OP has any insider info but I really didn’t get “Phone (3) launching next year” from that Twitter post. I understood it like the mentioned AI features will start appearing in the Phone (3) next year not that the Phone (3) is launching next year…

      So no phone 3 this year?

      That was a little confusing, did he meant that phone 3 by itself is coming in 2025, or the ai features on the NP 3 are coming next year.

      And if we are not seeing the phone 3 this year, will the nothing os 3 be also delayed, and if so, are you guys skipping andriod 15 to the 16 or what?

      Personally, the future will still be full of apps. It’s just that AI will continue feeding on such apps and hopefully bring the end goal of a personalized, contextual home screen experience as mentioned.

      I only have a pet peeve for AI, and that’s the issue of how it’s feeding on certain elements with copyright. We’ve seen this with certain art channels and how they’re vehemently against AI for art generation for example. It would be interesting to see how AI will combat these potential risks and deliver something that should theoretically benefit the user, rather than harm them.

      Hopefully that Nothing Phone (2a), 2, and 1 will also be able to experience the future being envisioned here. And best of luck by the way for Phone (3)!

      I don’t like the concept of the AI stuff tbh. I just want a phone. I don’t need another assistant.

      The fact that the Phone (3) gets delayed is sad too. I really wanted to buy the phone this summer, but now I will need to buy the Phone (2).

      Has Nothing said anything about disabling the AI crap completely to be able to use the phone like we would use it right now? Just a Launcher with Apps is what I want.

      I’m hyped for this! As someone who’s already into smarthome products, I’m ready to embrace AI if it’s accurate and secure - i.e. not sending all of my data somewhere. Hopefully by next year, we’ll have more AI advancements that minimise hallucinations too. I’ve often wished that Google Assistant was more clever at anticipating what I need, what I want to do or what I’m asking. It sounds like Nothing are coming up with the solution for that.

      I especially loved the home screen concept, showing the information you need to see right in front of you when you need it. I don’t need to buy a separate device for that if the device I carry with me every day can do it instead.

      Looking forward to see what’s ahead!

      Sigh. Goodbye Nothing then i guess. If this all is true. First i don’t want AI stuff and second, i need to buy phone this year. I was waiting for NP3 (have NP1 atm). Pixel 8/9 it is then.

      This indeed will be an advancement. However not all the people want AI deeply integrated because of their data and privacy issues.

      I understand that nothing has to be in the race as other competitors but there should be an option for the consumer to choose if he or she wants to go with the AI or not.

      There should be an option to go ahead using the OS without the AI capabilities which will ensure it will not be accessing any data and consumers don’t want to share.

      Although Google already have integrated it in the Android already such as Gemini and Google photos due to which some nothing phone users want their own suits of apps like gallery, dialer and file manager so that they can get the clean user interface according to their usage instead of selecting what the app is offering.

      Louis ☕️ This is very very good for AI adoption !! Really great to see Nothing pushing in this direction.

      And holy molly I want to have this “launcher”, it feels soooo smooth and beautiful !!!

      Just a bit worried with my data for this kind of AI integration, which model is being used ? Is it cloud based ? etc… a lot of question to ask regarding privacy !

      And yes, phone 3 will definitely be in my shopping list for next year 😁

        Louis ☕️ Hot damn! I actually liked that concept!

        Having a personal AI could be awesome, whenever it’s for a nerd (people who are really smart, in this context) or for a outdoor enthusiast! It can also be scary, I will give you that, since I also have fears about AI. Either way, hope you do great!☺

          AI is the perfect example of how useless use cases can get spotlight because of over hyped marketing and clueless consumers who see this as a fancy stuff by getting confused between “want” and “need”.

          AI can do a million things better than an average human, but are they relevant? NO!

          Either way this is just my opinion as a consumer and a software engineer. I understand not everyone will have the same view and everyone will be forced to go with what majority favours till the hype dies

          I have kind of the same feelings and thoughts as @Anonymous28 above. A lots of gimmicks, party-tricks and “cool” uses cases without some actual useful features/improvements. Also seems that AI (Artificial Irresponsibility) want’s me to spend more time with my phone/device and not less (As I believe, is/was one of the main thing from Nothing approach)

          Louis ☕️ Question though.

          Did Carl mean the AI features will be out next year “starting with Phone 3”. As in, the features will first roll out to phone 3.

          Or did he mean that the features will roll out with the Nothing Phone 3 which is going to release next year ?

              Dudu Joseph my understanding of it is that Phone (3) will be launched next year, as will these new features which will land first on the device.

                  Louis ☕️ Hello, Louis

                  May I ask what exactly it is that you are looking for in AI?

                  like the list of features you are expecting to have as a part of the AI package?

                  I’m asking out of genuine curiosity as the company seems to be focusing on AI on priority over features like camera and battery improvements

                      Anonymous28 I don’t have a list of features exactly but if AI can make my experience better, more personalised, streamlined and make me, as the user, perform less actions then I think that’s a win.

                          Louis ☕️ Sadly, I’m getting the feeling that you and everyone else are interested in AI just because everyone is talking about it and are clueless about what you truly need from it.

                          I could be wrong and I hope I’m wrong as I’m genuinely interested in Nothing and their ideologies.

                          I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just concerned about AI hype blurring the boundary between “what we want” and “what we need”

                          Either way, I hope AI can be truly useful to us someday🙂
