All “unique” systems, like Symbian or windows for smartphones, have died quite quickly. So I don’t think, it is right path for Nothing

    MarcinG Or BlackBerry 10. I have used lot’s of phones especially in the mid 2000s through late 2010s. The Nokia N900 with Maemo, the Nokia E7 with Symbian3, then I switched to BlackBerry with BBOS 7 and had most BlackBerry phones with their BB10 OS - which was a great OS, very intuitive, fast and fun to use. Built to be used with gestures right from the start, the whole UX back than was more advanced compared to what Android offers today. Yet it failed, because developers never jumped on board. People wanted Netflix, Snapchat, Instagram and so on - but those were never officially ported to the OS. Then BlackBerry gave up and went with Android, looking back a number of BBRY enthusiasts think if they went with Android right away, they might still be around.

    Inbetween I’ve also had a Nokia Lumia 1020 running Windows Phone, again I think the OS was very unique and intuitive in terms of UX, simple and efficient, yet in it’s own ways still eye catching. But it also failed due to missing app support from big developers.

    I simply don’t believe Nothing as a still rather unknown and small company could pull off and ve successful with their complete own OS. Other who were much bigger and had much more ressources tried over the years and all failed. I mean Carl Pei just recently said they won’t even release a more compact Nothing Phone for the time being, as it most likely wouldn’t be profitable enough.

        RehanZahir have u not seen what happened to Huawei ? It’s very difficult now to compete with monopoly who is leading in the market share. They will try to crush obviously but it will take some time for setup.

            Nothing already have a great clean android based os with customizations, so it will be wrong choise lo leave it and make something by yourself without google.

            Heera

            Depends whether Nothing wants to follow in the footsteps of Huawei (why would they?), or make their own OS like Daniel Micay was able to with GrapheneOS.

              Hii guys.

              Can we get nothing own os ( like ios, Android)

              What you guys think.

              Also don’t hesitate to share what features do you guys think to get on nothing own os?

                I think is no need when you have a good base and you can customizing it, it’s not the point to became like huawei with harmony os.

                No need another Mobile OS, Its difficult for App developers to build/manage apps for new OS, It will take longer than usual,

                  Aniruddha_ICE used to be a big time BlackBerry owner back in the day. They had there own OS. That went down the pain and disappeared. Stick with android OS, but make very clean with no bloatware.

                    Nothing OS can adopt the jolla’s Sailfish OS

                    RehanZahir There’s not any room for another operating system besides the established ones, Palm did it and failed all that’s left of it is modern webos on LG TVs, Blackberry tried and failed, remnants of which today make QNX an automotive OS, Samsung tried and failed, only remnant is what their TVs run with tizen, Windows Phone has been dead for years, Amazon tried it they’re barely alive with FireOS only on their streaming sticks and their tablets even then FireOS is a shadow or what they had in mind for it with the fire phone.

                    There is no point nor is there an ecosystem of apps available for anything other than android or iOS, check any of the linux ports that are practically dead for all intents and purposes because of the lack of an app ecosystem.

                      Coldpaw where is blackberry or symbian now? even nokia went for windows ? they are all 6 feet deep rn.
                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrapheneOS
                      and as per wikipedia , graphene is android based OS but more on privacy focused. if you make OS, you need developers to make their apps compatible with new os, whichever company tried to make new OS, has died and we have seen it. so I dont think its good idea to take this huge risk for start up company. this is monopoly of IOS and android.

                          Anonymous297 Yes, that’s why I said it makes no sense for a small start-up company to experiment with some alternative (Google-free) operating systems if they want to be profitable and grow their business.

                            Hi , making a new os takes a lots of money, and time I don’t think nothing will ever develop it since android is open source+ has most of the essential features

                            Ultimately, given the current market landscape, the future isn’t in reinvention. I believe Nothing shouldn’t spend time and money developing a new OS, as it would simply be reinventing the wheel.
