5 year OS update is must now.

PardhanSingh TBH Nothing is very minimal and stock Android and it’s unique, user friendly & has a brilliant UI with super responsiveness. Camera is actually not bad either. The points that u are mentioning applies for all other phones out there especially apples and the other Androids. Nothing feels like ur using a NEXUS device if u know what I mean. Nothing is constantly providing updates and improving their product & software being a new company and we’ll knowledged in what they are doing.so allow it some time to pickup. If u expect ur points to be in nothing phone. Will all due respect you should consider other options that suit u and other genre of people. After all u can customise Android the way u want. Only thing I dislike about nothing is them switching away from Qualcomm. Not sure if they realise it. Nothing phone 2a is gonna come with a mediatek I believe and that’s going to be a big down side. As atleast the phone 1 had the best processor in the 7series. But sticking to 8 series processor is what nothing should actually consider. Nothing phone glyphs are not for all. It’s a feature which u can turn on and off. So complaining about it is not arguable as it’s an added feature and that’s not the main reason why the phone should sell. If people are buying for the glyph alone, then they are of the playful category mostly inclined towards the teenagers and early adults.. the ones who consider it as a feature are matured audience who actually look into the UX & performance. Infact there are many stickers out there which could turn the phones glyph for music visualization to a next level. Which some won’t find it interesting but the future has weired things in store and at that point nothing would still stand out. Remember the nokia 3220. People went crazy on it. And had custom ringtones to match the lighting. That’s a simple added feature. So people shouldn’t but nothing for the sake of glyph. Look into it as just any other Android worthy for its performance/ user experience/ battery back up/ screen quality/ network/ camera/ charging speeds(thankfully this has the same speeds of OnePlus 9r/8t thought it’s 45w)/ and the in hand feel and onehand usability…. Etc etc. & IMO a phone without AI is actually comparitively safer.

What you expect from a 3 year old company? it just started wait for more time until it settles completely then they can give 4-5 years. what will they earn if they start giving at the beginning itself!!!. They still did great things with NOS it’s pretty much clean with the customisation’s.

since December there is no official stable update….only open beta updates when will you give stable updates iwaiting for features to use in my phone..scare to download open version

Louis But to be Frank , The cameras need a great workaround. Front, Main and UW. HDR processing is worse. Sharpness and details are more to be desired. Even after updating to 2.5.2, it still bad for a phone that has such a great camera hardware and ISP. No hate on the team behind it but out of all aspects of phone 2, Camera performance is a lot to be desired. It doesn’t even have a HDR on/off toggle. A phone with a price of Rs. 10,000/- has it.

I want an answer from Nothing. Why they are not able to resolve the HDR issue? I believe the screen is not enough bright.

PardhanSingh You are right. There is nothing any interesting features except glyph light and some other features in nothing os.

Louis sir, stop being in the side of nothing. Think from our perspective. When initially nothing phone 1 was released no one was interested in it. Phone 1 got it’s hype by end of year. People stated that phone has become extraordinary because of software updates. Nothing gave 2 updates a month which included both improvemental and security updates. After announcing nothing phone 2 the frequency of rolling updates have been slowed down. As phone 2 released the updates were coming too late. They said that we are working on new NOTHING OS. The nothing os released for phone 2. But they said they will be releasing it for phone 1 by end of the year. From the release of nothing phone 2, phone 1 stopped getting updates, updates were given ones in a blue moon.

People expected regular software updates like which were rolled out in January, February and March of 2023 throughout the span which other phone manufacturers were not able to provide. Contrary to the expectations, Nothing stopped rolling updates for phone 1 , which is unacceptable.

It’s been 3 months since last stable update rolled out for nothing phone 1. November 23rd is the recorded date for release of os 2.0.5.

Why so? Why nothing too behaving alike other smartphone manufacturers. Upon releasing successor why keeping older phone 1 aside? We people didn’t buy phone 1 expecting this…

Also nothing sent invitation for NOS closed beta.

Which many people agreed to join and share feedbacks. When they agreed and joined into closed beta and open beta is rolled out. Nothing should also show a way to downgrade to open beta right?

Why nothing didn’t provide? Why just ignored the people who were in closed beta. Nothing was saying need to flash whole os via adb.for which no guide was provided. It was a big heck flashing os. When upgrading to closed beta was too easy why downgrading is not? When updates and os were shown as selling point then that should be strong.

Join the telegram channel of nothing phone global. You will be able to experience wide variety of problems with phones and complaints. Using these platforms where people can’t join or familiar with and conducting these type of discussions are not gonna work.

I didn’t mean to degrade or humiliate the company. I am just trying to explain our perspective. Phone 1 still have many bugs which I reported. Work on them rather than releasing new phones. We consumers didn’t expect this and buy phone. In India, smartphone is an investment for parents for their children. Regretting or losing the value of investment hurts a lot. Hope you and nothing understands this, Works and helps consumers.

Even this post needs approval/ moderation right?
