Nothing OS 3.0 | Phone (2a) Open Beta

VivekanandKenganal I propose to roll back to version 1.0 as a sign of protest)))

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?

Why did you mention proprietary and hardware features?

Except the Private Space feature they are not a part of the AOSP.

Natalie what is wrong with 2a plus..why so late for 2a plus if 2a getting this early

Mukundh28 I suppose it is due to that same reason, a flagship is not affordable to everyone so isnt the same amount of people that has that device and for that reason, they preferred to launch it on the 2a first, because, if they sold more units of that device, which tend to be “normal” due to the pricing compared to the 2, they would have a bigger community reporting the bugs that may occur. And if the software is similar in these devices , they can ensure that if the fix the common bugs, then they only have to fix the specific device bugs. To make it simple, cheaper device, more people buy it, more people buy it, bigger community to report common bugs, common bugs reports, fix common bugs to make the base software. When the major common bugs are suppose to be fixed, then the developers can focus into more specific one’s, that when all the other devices came into the “beta game”. Think that all the devices have to run the same software (with slightly modifications due to hardware), but they have to ensure to give the user the proper experience they claim they’ve worked so hard for. So, it isn’t a bad approach to the beta topic, we just have to be a little bit more patient, and I’m writing from my Nothing Phone (1) so I know what I’ve just said

RavishKumar now we got a lesson, always buy a new budget nothing phones like 2a instead of flagship and expensive phone.

VivekanandKenganal you paid more. You are lucky not to be beta testers ))

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.

@“Natalie ”#p9840 looking forward for some camera update and photo gallery. Also new lock screen sounds interesting

This is very tempting but I’m on the fence about it & will think about it for the next few days

Anonymous297 Their egos have been humbled, which is why they seem more concerned about not receiving updates first instead of embracing Nothing’s vision—gathering insights from their community.

Downloading as we speak - UK based 2a limited edition

Will Update any findings or bugs after install

What a kick in pants to those who got the Nothing phone 1 or 2 .. hopefully the nothing team has added more premium features for those phones to leave them last ..

finally

Natalie I’m just disappointed that the dot style is going it’s very unique there should be an option to turn it on in 3.0

Can you add glyph count down for Bolt app like Uber has ?

Does it factory reset the phone??
