Biggest problem I have is significantly worse battery life since 2.6. That’s one of the most important things for me. I also agree with vibration needing tuning. But two things you haven’t mentioned are:

  1. Terrible volume control on wireless earbuds. Tested on both Nothing Ear (2024) and JBL Tune Flex, inconsistent controls.
  2. Location accuracy for Weather app. (At least for Serbia)

Though positives are smooth OS with a lot of pretty details, a lot better experience than iOS or OneUI which I’ve used before NOS.

SamarthNP1 damn nothing really needs to look into this , even with such powerful hardware in phone 2 app animations lag severly

    Yes all your flaws are perfect and up to date if you guys are listening to the community then do improvements accordingly right now the navigation issue and camera issue are the major one its literally embarrassing to show case the 42k np2’s camera

    You are right, when can we have camera improvements (it’s a flagship!!) and also google lens integration. Even xiaomi already have google circle to search.

    Since the latest update, battery is now amazing. Easily 2 days eithout charge. I won’t switch to NOS 3 until I see enough feedback that it stays as good as now.

      Vishwam I bet but I daily this device so I’d rather not beta test. Thanks for being one of the testers though. Is battery life as good and what is the best improvement in your opinion?

          Anonymous268 Yes everything is good. And I also only have Nothing phone 2 and this is my daily driver I don’t have this secondary phone and I am on beta version and its phenomenal its superb and its more smooth now in beta. I meant beta is smoother than stable 2.6

              I think half the things mentioned in this thread have been addressed in OS 3.0. Only things lacking are as mentioned the cameras and battery life. There is definitely a need for improvement and it’s hard that we’ve been waiting for camera improvements since last year. Hopefully they’re working on it and it’ll drop soon.

              Anyone from nothing team could you provide acknowledgement that you are working on camera improvement

              Keseven For me it’s good because I don’t do so much photography. I casually take photos. Acording to that it’s good in phone 2

                So many of those complaints are just issues with Android and Nothing wanting it to stay as stock as possible.
