What do you think Nothing should focus on in the long run?

Welcher Aspekt/Merkmal sollte neben *Design* und *In den Hintergrund treten* die Vision von Nothing charakterisieren? Ich glaube, dass die unterste Ebene vom Ökosystem abgedeckt werden sollte, in dem ein virtueller KI-Assistent, der menschenähnliche Interaktionen ermöglicht (NLP-Stand der Technik), die Hauptrolle spielen würde. Dann sehe ich Geräte als Knoten in einem Netzwerk. ###### [Ich hoffe, dieser Thread verdoppelt nicht den anderen Thread zum Ökosystem; Ich meine dies als eine breitere Diskussion.]

Apart from design and fading into the background, what aspect/feature should characterize Nothing’s vision?

I believe the lowest level should be covered by the ecosystem, in which an AI virtual assistant granting human-like interactions (NLP state of the art) would play the primary role.
Then I see devices as nodes in a network.

[Hope this thread doesn’t double the other one on the ecosystem; I mean this as a broader discussion.]

eco-system indeed

Feedback from the customers. Lets go back to Marketing 101, understand the customer needs and serve a product to cater to that need which actually solves the problem for the customer. Community is going help Nothing to stay on that path.

Yeah, definitely.

Fuchsia, they reallly need to avoid Android

WilliamZimmer what the heck are you on about? Nothing OS IS an Android ecosystem. NOS 3.5 and more are baeed off of android 16 I think.

The thing I’d love Nothing to focus on is stability and optimization. I know Nothing is going to knock design and functionality out of the park. As a consumer, I want my products to be timeless in a way. I want them to last as long as possible, as well as function optimally during that same time.

Nothing…

Efficiency (covering product build, use, functionality and longevity) and affordability (Product price, price versus package, competitive pricing) would do the job for me.

Exactly, I do believe Nothing should focus on supporting their existing products in tandem with their new releases.

A good track record is key to obtain new clients and to keep the existing ones interested.

I do hope those plans are laid down as soon as their first product is announced, even if that product is a pair of earphones. If they commit to a timeline of support (updates and customer support, for example) and if they deliver on that, two or three years down the road, people will certainly feel more compelled to invest their money.

Everything is on the news everywhere these days. So a few bad experiences are enough for a negative pile on.

To answer @scarbo question more directly, and feeding off the interesting examples he gave, I would love to see a smartspeaker that doubles as a centralized hub to all things Nothing.

I genuinely think it can be an excellent canvas to let Teenage Engineering design shine with an outstanding sound stage and integration.

Well on the short run the obvious one is making their first product a solid one that will show the market what they can expect from nothing products.

On the long run, the expansion of their product line to start building an ecosystem should be expected. Since nothing is starting with an audio product, than a extension of that would probably be a Bluetooth speaker (or something along those lines), besides that, a logical step could also be a smartwatch, that ends up being an extension of the earphones and one that can help making the earphones features control easier.

The next obvious option probably would be a smartphone, but not sure if Nothing will be willing to risk entering that market already. The investment done in the essential smartphone brand should probably point that they are already considering it in the future. But my guess is that before that they probably want to make sure they get the earphones right. 😄

oliverwhite2711 A15 for NO 3.5; A16 for NOS 4.0.

CMF1_hacker oh right. Cheers

Improving operating system even more, so people would just go for it from other phones. Make it unique, stable and fast like iOS. I never wanted chinese phones because of their awful operating systems and stability, though they have powerful hardware (this is easier than coding obviously). They will have time to put sub-flagship-flagship hardware always, this is just a price problem for now. I wish Nothing good luck

Robust OS and services.

For most people Design of both the Phone and the OS is THE reason for buying their phones, what if every other company started to come up with a midrange line up with unique designs, it will dilute the market and Nothing will take huge it…unless they have something else to set them apart.

And I wish they don’t spread too thin, prioritizing quality over quantity always (or find the right balance).

CMF1_hacker

Ant-e-so-shial I agree with this.

Extra NOTHING apps is a distraction. NOS is already super solid and a little regiment would be welcomed.

feedback, update, keep it simple don’t be another company trying to make ecosystem in which consumer use the product and feel “ah! this is the feature exclusive to my device only” (kind of for showoff only). keep experimenting new things…if not practical use case possible keep it simple. as a curious mobile user will support you( I ). already doing great job and in future Nothing will work out the challenges😇.
