Essential space for older Nothing Phones?

FreeNP3AProPls!

I hope that essential space will be available for older phones like NP2a+!!

Nice as that would be (I have the Nothing Phone 1) I think it’s not going to be possible because none of the previous devices have the extra button to use.

FreeNP3AProPls!

MarkG13 we can just use the app alone or we can customize the power button right? Or another combination, like pressing the volume up and volume down together or whatsoever right?

FreeNP3AProPls! That’d involve software development which they might not want to invest in due to the product been early days. Also the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 features an AI engine which might power some of the AI analysis that happens on-device.

I don’t think there’s official word on whether it will be available but, I’d assume this is a (3a) Series and beyond feature.

hrry aw, that’s sad 😢. However, I found out that essential space works like Google’s keep, but in a Nothing’s way. I hope that there will be dedicated note-taking that function’s as a second brain and most importantly, NATIVE to NOTHING 😭

hrry I always use Google’s keep, task, and calendar, however I can’t fully customise them like the color and they not look minimalist, they look really a not native app and that sucks 😢.

I hope I can swap my NP2aPlus with the new NP3a/NP3aPro, i really want that essential space…

I hope I win 🔥 🚀

Will other phones get Essential key features as an update ? By the way what’s difference between Nothing OS 3.0 and 3.1 ?

Is Essential space is a feature exclusive to nothing 3a series ?

SamarthNP1

Bunny_21h if you want to use now download pixelshort app from playstore it does the same thing as nothing essential space

romano

so somwere yeah and somwhere no, because we dont have the button, but whe can download the app and then do it in the app but not with buttons

RohithTony

romano maybe they add support to power button, double press power button to activate essential space 🤞

Jack_Chang

I hope so, because they don’t seem to be stingy with the software features. The CMF phone has all the features of Nothing OS.

SamarthNP1

Jack_Chang it’s because they are good in software only so now for few years they will provide every feature to budget phones bhut when they enter main stream they are going to do the same as OnePlus and samsung

Bunny_21h

RohithTony Nice thought by the way, even if they give just the app, that would do fine. I’m very eager to try that feature .

RohithTony

Bunny_21h yes,Mee too

I’m very sure that Essential Space will be only available for (3a) and (3) phones and newer.

Why should they support the old phones when its a feature that is a chance to sell the new phone? That wouldnt make sense at all.

SamarthNP1 I use that app but its summarisation as good as nothing’s.

NamitAgarwal

yes, they can add it in the power button, but there’s another way, they can let us make a shortcut/widget in quick setting so that we can quickly swipe down for the quick settings and use the essential space, just like shazam, or screen recording is done, but i dont think so the earlier processers will be able to handle or do the AI summarization/tasks, as the processor in the newly launched phones have AI intergration,
anyways I’m also a NP2a user, i hope so they figure out something for the early trustees of NOTHING

chavdamc

Some of it will not be possible if the processor doesn’t support AI capabilities. NP1 clearly now is EoL for Nothing and i doubt they will give it attention apart from security updates.
