Nothing OS 3.0 | Phone (2a) Open Beta

Natalie ✨ · 2024-10-08T08:20:00+00:00

Nothing OS 3.0. The software we’ve always wanted to make is finally ready to show. Before its general release this December, we’re running our Open Beta...

You lose the data on roll back!
But to be on the safer side, keep the data backed up even if you don’t think you will roll back, as unexpected errors may cause data loss.

To every folks complaining about Phone (2) set for November release even if it is a flagship… I have one too and I don’t feel like being abandoned by the company. Do you guys know that Phone (2) has much more specific hardware than the Phone (2a)? Just think: the Glyphs on the back are much more complex than those of the Phone (2a). Stop complaining and enjoy a company that could among the first to upgrade you to Android 15 - remember: Google will upgrade its Pixels on Oct. 15th. Let’s see what other manfacturers will do.

Matteo Riso I completely agree with you. Many people who unjustifiably complain about disadvantages here are also quick to forget that the Phone (2) is simply not the latest device. Just like the Phone (1). Neither device is currently available for sale (at least in Germany). Why should these devices get such a major new update first? Furthermore, we are not talking about several months here, but at most two months difference to the provision of a BETA version!!!! I don’t think it’s serious that such a trifle from an otherwise great company with a great innovative spirit is being taken so seriously…

VIPTECH may be it will roll-out once the 3.0 will become stable.

Natalie ✨ So phone 2 is totally forgotten now wow it’s nice to use a flagship bought first day now you’re focused on phone 2a only nice.. I don’t think i will be using nothing again.

No matter how much we talk about the level of salesability of your phones, maybe 2a shot great on release, but the community of phone 2 users is bigger, phone 2 is still on sale and they continue to buy it, it is the most popular in terms of functionality and stuffing, you need to do something with these, and not postpone the update for November, this will only impale the community, in principle, which you have already done..

Android 15 - Private Space Features?

Actually it should be there…

I think all devices should have access to the beta testing, I mean phone 2a just recently got 2.6 update and a lot of people just bought it and why would anyone install a beta on their brand-new phones? it only makes sense to let Phone1 and Phone2 to have the update first and then launch to new gen devices. I just got my new phone 2a and the new update and I would never try beta so early unless I really feel the OS need a new feel. I am not sure how the updates are planned but current gen devices may not show major bugs in testing but with previous gen it will give a clear picture about its performance, optimization needed and find suitable hardware related compromises. Phone2a just came less than 6 months and giving all major access upfront would be unfair to the rest of the crowd who are eagerly waiting desperately to taste the new flavor.

You guys are treating Phone 2 ( a ) as if it’s your Flagship , whereas we the Phone 2 users are in Nothing’s secondary list Natalie ✨

Well, at least they said the month of production, that’s something.

This is what true innovation looks like!

I believe Nothing has done an impressive job rolling out the Beta program to Nothing Phone (2a) users. While some of you invested more in the Nothing Phone 2, anticipating early access, consider this: the decision to prioritize the 2a, their best-selling model, makes sense.

Since this is just a Beta program, deploying it to a larger user base allows for more valuable feedback and insights. It’s a strategic move that aligns with Nothing’s commitment to listening to its community. The person behind this decision clearly has a thoughtful approach.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate what the company is doing to enhance the user experience.

And for clarity, I’m not a Phone 2a user myself—I’m using their sub-brand, CMF Phone 1, and I truly appreciate how they extend a similar experience to their budget-friendly lineup.

I just want to say that we all have different perspectives, and that’s what makes our community so vibrant. Let’s continue to share our thoughts and support each other as we enjoy the innovations from Nothing. Your opinions are valued, and together, we can appreciate the journey they’re on!

zygerboy

JCPH its a valid point. But wont it be a better strategic decision in making the beta open to all devices gives even more larger user base that provides even more valuable insights?

D_J

JCPH yes other company should also follow the same i would say, who cares of someone spend 10k or 50k on a device (in inr).

So my question is that if i want a device for good and early software experience i should get a high end model or wait to see which device sells well and and decide according. If np3 didn’t sell well same thing will happen so someone should wait untill a midrange release after flagship to make a purchasing decision?

sxhilius_172

JCPH thank you, I don’t get why people are so annoyed that they don’t get a beta version, that’s likely to have lots of bugs as well

shek67

Any other company would have prioritized its flagship instead of midrange🤧

JCPH

zygerboy I see where you’re coming from, but let’s remember that Nothing is still a company. If they had released the Beta program to everyone and encountered significant issues, wouldn’t it be easier for them to address problems with a specific model instead of managing multiple devices that signed up?

JCPH

D_J Avoid comparing Nothing to other companies; each one has its own unique strategy. Users shouldn’t assume that owning a flagship device automatically guarantees early access to OS updates. Remember, Nothing has a different vision from more established brands. It’s worth reconsidering your expectations when choosing products from any brand.

JoelV

dreAd No company does that. It is not the same for every product so they give updates first to the phone which is the most priority.

obakesan

wow - this is totally against convention - the latest device for Nothing - the 2a Plus is actually scheduled for later compared to the 2a which is available for now - go figure. makes you think how will updates be handled for P3 when it arrives eh? 🤷🏻 was looking forward in ‘Oct’ to test this out on the 2a Plus - but guess gotta wait more.

hrry Beta is Beta, there’s everything shown in short video announcement. Still, no Nothing gallery which was announced too, guess have to wait till full release, but still, it’s pretty good and convenient.

A lot of customisation and customisation itself became much much convenient, hadn’t got my hands on camera, pretty sure I’ll test it today.

All the new updates feel pretty solid and not to separated from original nos 2.6.

I can assure all the people that you should wait for full release so you’ll experience more functions that could be released in future.

But if you think, download the beta or not, go on.

VivekanandKenganal

we Nothing phone 2 users are jokers right. We do pay more and are least preferred when it comes for beta testing🤡

We do condemn this and will not download your 3.0
