In starting of nothing phone 1 ceo of nothing said that they want to make nothing as apple phone does . By Giving Updates to all phones as apple does & even more better. But nothing only focus to launch new product not to make platform where all nothing users same features & connect with them & user create an aura & this increase user base of nothing community & increases sales but it could not happened due to nothing policy & make it gimmick only

You are becomming delulu pro max, stop now 😅 Anyway he say “tried” not “they try”.

CMF1_hacker

Stereobasic why worry about the past? It seems a lot of the community lives there, sadly and should be looking forward, i.e. toward more AI integration in our daily life.

Naren Exactly, if nothing wants to be a top company, they have to have a top spec.

CMF1_hacker

Hugo who wants them to be a top company, I don’t, I want a niche company and an anti-top-conpamy. Apple/Samsung have the top company locked up.

Naren

CMF1_hacker sorry but u are not running the company, but CEO and employees want to make NTL best

Hugo

CMF1_hacker One word, Shareholders.

CMF1_hacker

Naren not of this company, no, but I think you are quite mistaken if you want Carl’s interviews.

Naren

CMF1_hacker yeah I watched his interview where he was against bloatware, calling 2mp a scam but now 👀

CMF1_hacker

Naren that’s called being a CEO. He has to chase VC money shouldn’t be setting direction/tone for the company. Simply an outside face. I also surprised how little he earns by UK standards. In general, I think he’s doing the CEO job perfectly and has to change tact and go back on promises to keep the money flowing.

All CEOs do this, and should do this.

Naren

CMF1_hacker so all CEO want their company to be at top..

CMF1_hacker

Naren speaking as one from before and currently one, that is incorrect. Often, we want to get sold to other companies for a payday.

JochieSantiago

CMF1_hacker if sales continue to be low, do you think Nothing would be sold to another company in the future?

NP3′S price dropped because of the backlash and because you can get better specs for half of that price.

Sure, there are people that like that minimalist experience, but the majority tend to lean more towards having good specs at a good price. Snapdragon 8s gen4 at $899 (16Gb RAM and 512Gb storage price)

Naren even so, wasn’t the iPhone price still bigger then?

Naren

themountofmint

But iphone can justify it’s price value but I don’t think NP3 can justify it

CMF1_hacker

JochieSantiago if you look historically, prices always fall with NTL, it’s just that 20% is larger on a £800 phone, down to £640. I think in Western Europe, it isn’t quite inexpensive compared to £1000 for a Pixel or an IPhone. And the specs justify the cost.

They don’t need to sell so many (250k over the lifetime of the phone to recover all R&D costs … no one believes that’s at initial RRP). The 3a_lite has almost no R&D costs as it’s a CMF2P and at £249 it will have quite a large profit margin. In addition, they’re probably making £10-20/handset with preinstalled apps and bloatware.

At that PP, it looks great/modern and will set tons in Europe for Xmas. Much more than the CMF2P which does NOT look premium at all. (I like it but the average buyer won’t.

Edit: it also dates the 3a/pro extensively, and will pull buyer to it by looking like a £799 RRP phone at £249. It’s a very smart move by NTL.

I think NTL is playing their cards perfectly.

JochieSantiago

CMF1_hacker yes, but now we have both the CMF phones and the 3a lite, which are basically the same turd in different toilets. It has to come down in if Nothing decides to support the 3a lite over the cmf phone.

And yes, I would’ve bought either the cmf or the 3a lite if I didnt already buy the NP3.

CMF1_hacker

JochieSantiago I find the 3a_lite a very compelling option at £249, so hardly a turd. NOS is great and it will get years of updates. If has a glass front and rear, which is unheard of it Europe at the PP.

It looks the business and the main camera is quite good, which is what most people use.

It will flop in India as I speculate they’ll release it again 18999 INR. But, NTL is pulling out that market, and will devolve CMF to it primarily (and pull older cheaper back to Europe at a cheap PP for the holiday sales, i.e. Q4.)

JochieSantiago

CMF1_hacker the turd thing was a metaphor. Maybe the same candy in different packaging?

I bought the 3a based on that same chain of thought while having a S24 ultra. The 3a alone pulled me out of Samsung and still has a special place in my heart.

We were sold Apple dreams but got delivered with substandard camera and lack of customisations in the name of being different and no bloatware.

Stereobasic

SiddheshShanbhag the phone is pretty good, we must remain measured in our remarks no ? Yes some things can be frustrating but in general they have done a good work with pretty cool features and art.

CMF1_hacker

SiddheshShanbhag I hope that no one through they were buying an Apple when they bought a NOTHING phone.

SiddheshShanbhag

Stereobasic Phone is good in the sense that it runs smooth, but the main part, its camera, has been downgraded like anything. I could click better pictures when on Android 14 based NOS versions, which is not the case today as post processing has taken a massive hit. If company’s owner is fixated on Apple, he must make sure he’s able to deliver atleast 50% of what Apple delivers on its iPhones. And mind you, NP2 isn’t a midrange phone, not in my country atleast when it was launched and at the price point it launched. Even budget phones have better cameras, better highlight control, better contrast, better color reproduction, better shutter speed, better post processing than NP2.

We can live without more customisations, but cameras need to be improved, considering the fact that this is going to be the last major update for this phone.
