Warring: These are my thoughts.
As a early adopter of nothing from my perspective there is a balance on Differentiated Design + CleanOS + Nice Pricing. Now thats no the case any more two reasons.
1)Pricing range changed.
2)Feather restations on older phone.
I always advocate and promotor of nothing because of that balance.
But now they establish CMF brand & A series. This makes nothings bread and butter. From Phone 3 and other audio products make the brand positioning faster with apple & Samsung. Nothing knows the sales volume might be low still for the brand positioning.
And this made in Indian phone 3 cost ₹80,000 and ₹90,000($931 and 1047) in India and 799 and 899 USD in US. Here in India they are getting PLI scheme incentives.
And Spec to value is low especially with processor for a flagship phone, 8 Elite is 31% improvement in CPU performance, a 49% faster GPU, and a 44% increase in AI performance compacted to 8s Gen4. I know to save cost use older generation processer, but now Qualcomm will do rebrand for you. But here this elite are entire new ranger of processer can get old generation. Nothing could have been waited for more.
This is not the right time to launch rushed to launch phone 3. I know this not a bad choose as a brand but for user like us are not happy about it and cant advocate anymore. I ditched my iphone 13 for phone 1 that is just 6 month old.
Some changes are not coming to older device. My phone 1 doesn’t get essential Space & LUTs in camera.
And I waited for more than a month to buy CMF buds 2 Plus still not available in India market. No response for any post or public announcement.
Nothing is growing, by losing its own values, becoming another oneplus.
