Only reason is “ Best Selling Device” To get the best feedback the fastest way, we’ve prioritised one of our newest and best-selling phones: Phone (2a). The Software team aim to use the larger sample size to collect the insight they need and then rapidly move to Phone (2) and close on Phone (1) / Phone (2a) Plus and CMF Phone 1.

When can we expect a stable version for phone 1? January?

    Thanks for the transparency here, Justin.

    Nothing as a company is a breath of fresh air, and this update to show how decisions are made behind the curtain is very much appreciated.

    All the best to the software and wider team for the Beta rollout and the eventual stable release. Keep up the great work! 🔥

    This is a fantastic response and, speaks to Nothing’s advantages - their engagement with the community. Thanks for transparency and openness.

    I also think it’s great that Mediatek is supporting Nothing with the push towards Android 15, this speaks to the (potential) longevity of the chips and isn’t something that Mediatek was famed for in years gone by.

    Good all around, now I wait with my Phone(1) for the public beta 😜

      Justin This is the best and quickest response from a young team. It all makes sense now, and I’m so happy with the explanation.

      Coming from a gaming background, I’ve seen both AAA and indie developers take their time to release nearly perfect products, while others rush and miss the mark. The “Slow and Steady ALWAYS wins” mantra is crucial, especially with a new, revolutionary product. The smartphone industry is no different.

      Despite delays and eager fans, a nearly perfect end product is worth the wait. Rushing and frequent updates often lead to more bugs. I truly admire and appreciate the team’s dedication to providing the best experience. Whenever you launch, ensure people praise what you’ve achieved with a customer-first mindset.

        I’m proud of the NOTHING team. First the logical approach to software deployment, and now the literal PERFECT explanation to back up your actions.

        Been a fanboy since the beginning. I was perfectly justified. I dare anyone to convince me otherwise.

        AdarshSanapala quoting the OP:

        “And I’m happy to announce that the final release of Nothing OS 3.0 will be on Phone (2) and Phone (2a) first, and at the same time.”

        As already said before it will be released in December. Don’t ask for the specific day because not even Nothing knows…

          Justin thank you for the detailed and coherent explanation. I hope that some users who weren’t particularly polite in their comments learned something. 

          Guys, being rude won’t help you get anything fixed. 

          I’m a happy NP 2a user running NOS 3.0 beta and I can vouch for your excellent support to the community. Keep going strong! 🙌

            Justin No problem take as much time you wanted but please improve the camera of phone 2 and optimise the battery backup too.

            It’s been a year …still waiting for better camera updates and better software optimisation reg battery life. Please take extra time also for phone 2 and work on camera algorithms, its hardware is capable of doing more but software is the issue. We want to utilise the hardware to its fullest so please work on the software.

              Literally I would not update my device to Nothing OS 3.0 AS you guys removed the iconic dot font from the os… At least you should give an option to turn the dot font on or off…

              It must be there in order to save ur signature touch to the OS…PLZ 😭

              Justin

              Now that’s a called Listening Consumers & Explain Your View thoroughly.

              Just saying We are NEW in market everytime is not the solution.

              Now I’m happy that they are starting to clarify than playing NEW Brand Card everytime.

                Justin As you said that you rely on chipset makers to send you source code, let me tell you that Qualcomm already released its Android 15 source last month and talking about user base, phone 1 & 2 has the best online community out of all the nothing devices which includes many custom rom developers and tech enthusiasts, they can give a better technical feedback then phone 2a users

                  The explanation is greatly appreciated and we hope that for a healthier community, these explanations by the team are more continuous and thus avoid false news
