Nothing is acting like Apple.
It has downgraded bezels and haptics in 3a compared to 2a. This is inexcusable and frustrating carl.
Nothing team shouldn’t design products with cheap tactics(weak haptics & large bezels) by taking advantage of their Good things (NOS). Apple and Samsung takes advantage of their brand popularity and sell cheap products with large bezels, outdated slow processors, cheap haptics.
Nothing is unique and trust worthy. It is known for detailed quality things even in tiny aspects. They should not do these cheap decisions.
Nothing realised that their budget model 2a brought good revenues and immediately planned 2 products under 3a line up and even weirdly released them before releasing Nothing 3. This isn’t wrong, for any company, revenues are important. Especially to those budding companies which are not trying to do copy paste innovations and thriving to be unique.
But they should not insult or look down consumers by pushing their positive elements like Transparent design, glyph lights, NOS, Widgets, Clean OS to fore ground & silently downgrading other things.
I bought Nothing phone 2, 2a and now 3a. Imagine user who gave hard earned money for their upgraded model and in reality experiencing degraded things. Now if they provide thin bezels and strong haptics in upcoming nothing 3, i feel betrayed and wasted with my 3a purchase.
To Carl & team, read this as feedback or disappointment of your long-term consumer, not as some negativity propaganda.
