For almost 8 years, I was using same company phone model with different versions (don’t want to take Company name) as their User Interface was cool with many in-house apps but because of the bloatware in their phones in recent years, I had to choose Nothing Phone for various reasons like Aesthetics, Personality and bit of Fun with Glyph. It took me so hard to come out of my earlier Phone model.
Here are few major apps would like to see in NOS (Just want to avoid using Google apps as the related apps are not user friendly. User has to apply many clicks to perform one simple task like delete a photo).
- Gallery app for
- Easy navigation of photos
- Albums creation with options like Collage, Clips creation, Video Editor, Grouping photos based on faces etc..
- Photo editing options like Crop, Flip, Photo Frame size (1:1, 4:3, 16:9 etc..)
- Marking photos as Favourite
- Brightness, Contrast adjustments, text addition etc..
- File Manager with root functions also (/system, /data…) and other options like Deep clean, Private files, clear presentation of storage data (Total size, Images size, Video size, Audio size etc..), Sort and List view options.
- Camera app with more AI features (for Photos and Videos)
- Recorder app with few extra features like
- Segregation of Calls, Apps, Recorder etc..
- After recording, there should be an option to Mark the recordings in between so that user can listen the audio from the time Mark was set.
- Options to select forward, backward time frame. Now it’s 10s. Should have an option to choose 3 or 5 secs.
- Screen Recorder app with options to choose Resolution, Orientation, Frame rate etc..
- Note app to note down important thoughts or other personal info
- Calculator app with few extra features like Currency conversion, Investment related, Loan, Age, BMI, Length, Speed, Temperature etc..
Main reason for above such list is to avoid installing 3rd party apps because of Security reasons and Ads.
Though few of the apps are available in Nothing OS, they lack basic power-user features.
On top of it, would love to see lots and lots of AI integration in Nothing OS especially for Camera (Photos and Videos). This is where today market is attracting customers.
