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.
Nothing OS 3.0 | Phone (2a) Open Beta
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.

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

So… no Private Space, no Gemini Nano, no Circle to Search and no Satellite Connectivity. Was very hyped for this, but this update keeps giving me bummers, first with the release timeline of November (I don’t especially mind it, but seeing that I spent so much money on Phone 2 and will still get updates later than a much cheaper phone and wait longer even for a “Beta” version) and now the features. While I appreciate the new features such as Lock Screen Customisations, App Archiving, Partial Screen Sharing and Predictive Back Animations, it would have been great to have the ones I mentioned as well.
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?

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
those saying I paid more I want update first? what is it mate? a candy shop? there must be some reason, they wont just roll out randomly. and those who dont want to buy nothing phone 3 coz weird update lineup, pls switch , no one is forcing you.
people cant even be patient. its not like your phone is not working coz you dont have 3.0 and latest update. kindly chill out, we all paid, no one got a free phone here.
