i just saw this and was gonna post this here! the redesign is pretty cool, and i hope the team takes a look at this and does something similar!!

Meet She stated that NothingOS is a “half ass UI" and started criticising the quick settings panel and icon shapes. Started comparing it with OneUI and OxygenOS which are bloated AF. Someone tell her what near stock android is, also tech her about what brand identity is. These so called youtubers think they know everything but in reality they know nothing. Criticism is good if there are valid points but most of her points are totally pointless.

    Sourav_Satvaya that’s what I’m saying bro, she compares nothing a 4 years startup company to samsung and bbk electronics( oppo/, OnePlus etc) it’s not fair they have big R&D sections nothing try their best in the sigment, and they have some reasons why they don’t use dot-fonts and some other stuff she mentioned waiting to see what changes happening in NOTHING OS3.0

    Sourav_Satvaya Agree when u said one ui and some others are bloated AF but still almost all of the ui inconsistency are true.They matter just cuz Nothing is a design brand.When u buy Nothing u don’t ask for performance or anything u care about the feel and convenience the device has.Thats something noone does other than Nothing

    Sourav_Satvaya i got your point . every one need to kiss and lick NOTHING’S feet and no one has any right to criticize or roast them. fanatics like you are sure going boost NOTHING’S BRAND IMAGE . IF iSheep fanatics can boost iPhone’s brand image why not you.

      SkynetT1000 nothing fans are worse than sammy and iphone fans. Atleast they get a complete unified and consistent design and experience. They nail the fundamental and don’t go in YouTube and criticize other companies without making their own company better!

      Don’t compare yourself to bigger brands and then complain and whine that you’re “only a 4 year old company” when you do get constructively compared.

      SkynetT1000 I also got your point, person like you loves to hate a brand and doesn’t understand what brand identity is and loves to lick some Chinese bloated UIs and compare it with those. Those companies are in the market for more than 10 years with lots of resources but trash lovers like you doesn’t have that basic knowledge that a 4 year old company can’t achieve that much refinement within this short period. Before comparing with glorified OneUI and OxygenOS just visit those respective forums and check how much hate they’re getting for making it bloated. Speaking of criticism did I say I don’t like criticism? I said criticism is good if there’s a valid point to it. I also criticise Nothing for not providing any charger in the box, partnering with Flipkart and launching the same phone with different colours every 2 or 3 months, but a pointless criticism is not a criticism, it’s just hatred towards a specific brand. If you like bloated trash then why bothered trying a near stock android, didn’t you know Nothing has near stock experience or you don’t know what stock experience is?

        Sourav_Satvaya Yes, looks like she don’t know Xiaomi (and Samsung) also shifted to Google messages. About dialer, just stick Google dialer, and it is Android and bloatfree android should be using Google. If want to have bloatfree android without Google, then need to design own OS (non-Google). Then she also says, need Nothing make a calculator? Her next video she’ll ask Nothing Pay too, Nothing Lens, and Nothing Search Engine.

        RohithTony Yes man, I don’t know why they buy stock Android and complain it is not new OxygenOS (colorOS) when there is already ColorOS devices out there, OneUI, HyperOS, Oppo, Vivo, RealmeOS. Why they didn’t buy those phones? They buy nothing and then complain that Nothing is not bloated like ColorOS

        Sourav_Satvaya Exactly… the beauty of Nothing is keeping it Stock without filling it bloatware but adding useful customisation.

          Sourav_Satvaya

          Dude.. she is literally a UI designer.

          It’s their job to make things intuitive.

          And she pointed out the good things from other OS’s lol. Why would she point out the bad things among other OS’s in a video that is critiquing nothing? Make it make sense.

          I’ve personally felt a lot of what she said as pain points. It’s not like she’s spewing a bunch of bs or making things up.

          All points were valid. As a design-oriented company, nothing should definitely work with such users to make their products better.

          I

          Meet that was some great insight she provided plus some nice suggestions, I agree with her

          I completely agree with every point in the video, honestly seeing a unified design language across applications. I would love to see a dialer, calculator and other miscellaneous apps to include the nothing dot-matrix design language. Current NothingOS feels somewhat half-baked in some sense, and it should be renamed to Nothing Interface. Hope the team takes some pointers.

          hexagonal717 Yes!! Nothing is stock, with addition of useful features like app lock, dual app, while still maintaining stock experience. If they change that, they gonna lose original fans. Those here asking this and that, asking bloatware, if given also, they’ll still move to others.

          Some points in the video are quite valid, but it’s still an overall 👎 for me. Here are my thoughts:

          Positives:
          1. The control panel suggestions she made were quite valid tbh.
          2. Icons in the settings could be dot themed
          3. Navigation bar icons could be dot themed, but not the ones she suggested 💀
          4. Hopefully, the Google apps that we are currently reliant on will be replaced by official Nothing apps in the future.
          5. Progress bar for camera countdown timer 😘

          Negatives:
          1. No color picker for icons. Else, people will make some illegible home screens!
          2. She could’ve done a better job researching the purpose of monochrome icons, rather than roasting them.
          3. Widgets are good as they are, except, ALL icons should be dotted and ALL fonts should be the Nothing’s serif. All of them.
          4. What? Does she want one control for each glyph light? That would make it too complex for a normal user. The existing thing is just fine.
          5. No colorful glyphs 🔪 Only WHITE!
          6. The repair thing. If you want one, you sacrifice the other. Nothing had to pierce into the competitive market with something unique, and they did just that. (Still a point worth a discussion.)
          7. Yeah, those back elements are not functional. Noone has hidden that fact.
