Essentially, people are heavily relying on the features and technology of the lowest calibre. Therefore, Nothing Phone has the ability to provide the"**Carl's** incredible efforts have helped Nothing OS secure a significant share in the market, making it an OS standout startup."" and their **exceptional team**. **Nothing Os Music**: Like other music platforms such as Spotify and YouTube Music, Nothing can offer its own music system with Lossless audio, Dolby Atmos for Nothing Ear, and Hires for high-quality audio. An alternate option to download audio locally or offline, with the choice of lossless or compressed format, and the ability to save songs to an SD card if available. A simpler option is to download the audio locally or offline, with the choice between lossless or compressed formats, and the ability to save songs to an available SD card. "It also includes the functionality to share playlists through a QR code or a link in Nothing OS, allowing people to share and enjoy music together." An alternative app or feature could be developed by **Nothing to identify songs** using music, lyrics, or sound waves, similar to Shazam or Apple Music. Another option would be to incorporate Google Assistant capabilities along with features such as discovering and sharing music, providing a comprehensive listening experience. An alternative possibility is to integrate music recognition functionality, akin to Shazam or Apple Music. Alternatively, Nothing could incorporate Google Assistant features, offering a seamless music discovery and sharing experience. **For Nothing Dialer**: Right now Nothing is using the Google Dialer, but people are in need of some changes in their Dialer. For recording, live screen sharing, and other useful features applicable to Noting Dialer, it should have a user-friendly and easy-to-handle interface. **Nothing Gallery:** People anticipate the Nothing Gallery as a replacement for Google's gallery. This feature will enhance the user experience and provide individuals with their own personalized gallery, including basic editing capabilities such as cropping, designing, adding emojis, pictures, filters, and effects. 1. **Adding and collabe the videos:** edit the videos, green screen, adding brightness, effects, filters, music, pictures, sticks like that a basic editing where we can do. 2. **Crop and select the object:** If there is a person or an object, we can simply crop or copy only the object. Additionally, we can edit it on the screen, turn it into a sticker, or share it on other platforms. This will be easy if you use the "Snapdragon 8 Gen 3". 3. **Finding the person or text**: implementing an intelligent search bar that can accurately locate text within images, simplifying the process of finding corresponding images. Furthermore, implementing advanced image recognition technology for translating words within images, simplifying the search for identical words. For saving a person's picture in a contact, easily locating their phone, and highlighting their pictures in photos, even in group pictures. Additionally, providing the capability to find a person's picture by uploading an image. **Location on Picture**: By simply clicking on the properties or details tab, users can access information such as the camera used and the location where the photo was taken. This can be achieved with additional privacy measures such as a face or fingerprint lock to protect user information. By clicking on the "additional info" option, users can save details about the individuals in the image and their contacts on their phone, as well as access other related images. Additionally, users can leverage the "Explore" feature to discover popular local attractions or stores within a specified range, complete with reviews and ratings. This is a small feature where we can find the best places. **Alternative Nothing message**: As a substitute the standard Google Messages app, the Nothing community should develop their own messaging app that offers features such as automatic deletion of OTPs after a set time, the ability to secure confidential messages (e.g., from banks) with a lock, prevention of spam messages through a user-permission-based data set updated when online, identification and reporting of invalid or malicious links, and an option to automatically delete messages after 12 hours without leaving a trace. Option to edit text within 48 hours, with automatic deletion of messages after 12 hours without leaving a trace. Bug Fixes and Improvements are done in this new update. Please conduct the Beta test for GrapheneOS, which supports Android with enhanced privacy. It is a humble request.

Liamapi Hey mate, that’s interesting, I’m not an Airpod/iOS user… how does that work? How could you see that working on Nothing?

Liamapi

Hey thank you so much for reaching out !

Well basically there is a fonction where you can air background noises, to isolate yourself when you have your earphones on. I will attach visuals from iOS, I really hope it’s gonna be understandable, otherwise i’ll make a screen record 🙂

You can activate and deactivate the noise from the widget panel

What do you think of this feature ?

SandeepKumar_XgrIf1tfgS

Do Nothing have any planned for Super battery saver kind of feature.

Am really thinking that nothing OS is something wanna be like an AI which can handle all stuff single place itself and not get the hastle to use seperate apps now and then.. so am thinking if nothing is willing to upgrade there essential space AI with notion software for productivity.. kinda a tie up but really we needed those samsung gallery ai features from nothing then we again there is no AI for productivity…

The absence of this feature is puzzling, as it would be quite beneficial for users who wish to manage their notifications based on the distinct purposes of their two SIM cards. Given that each SIM often serves a different function, it seems logical to allow for varied ring notifications rather than a uniform sound for both. This enhancement could significantly improve user experience by providing clearer distinctions between calls and messages.

Device Used: Nothing Phones

Nothing OS Version: 3.2

Prepared By: Concerned User & Enthusiast

Purpose: To highlight areas where Nothing OS needs improvement, especially in comparison with competitors like OnePlus, Xiaomi, Pixel, and Samsung. This report also includes real-world user observations to reflect true usage experience and expectations.

---—————————————————————————–

Summary

While the Nothing Phone boasts a unique design and clean hardware aesthetics, the software experience falls behind expectations—especially for users purchasing higher RAM variants at a premium price. The current OS feels underdeveloped with a lack of animation, haptic feedback, personalization, and efficient use of RAM. These elements, when missing, reduce the sense of value in a smartphone regardless of its hardware potential.

---—————————————————————————–

Key Areas Needing Improvement

1. Lack of System Animations

- No meaningful animations in core UI (unlocking, transitions, notification shade, settings, etc.)

- System feels static and lifeless even on high RAM variants.

- No animation in volume or brightness sliders.

Suggestions:

- Add smooth unlock/app transition effects.

- Include system-wide motion effects.

- Introduce polished animation flows.

2. Lock Screen Bugs & Visual Glitches

- Clock widget sometimes stuck at top edge.

- PIN/pattern interface lingers after face unlock.

Suggestions:

- Improve lock screen UI rendering and transition timing.

3. Underutilization of 12GB RAM

- OS behaves as if built for lower RAM (6GB).

- No RAM boost/expansion features.

- Apps frequently reload, reducing multitasking efficiency.

Suggestions:

- Implement RAM boost.

- Optimize background app retention.

- Enable smart RAM management.

4. Weak Haptic Feedback Integration

- No vibration for typing, volume control, gestures, or long-press actions.

Suggestions:

- Enable haptics across system gestures.

- Add feedback for sliders, typing, errors, and swipes.

- Use custom vibration patterns for various actions.

5. Minimal UI Personalization

- No live/dynamic wallpapers.

- No advanced AOD customization.

- No animation themes.

- No custom icon size settings.

- Display scaling affects full UI—no independent control for icon size.

Suggestions:

- Add live wallpapers.

- Include AOD style customization.

- Allow granular UI scaling (icons vs. full interface).

- Provide icon shape/size control.

6. Software Updates Lack Depth

- Only minor changes in major version updates.

- Recent updates mostly affect fonts/camera.

Suggestions:

- Add impactful UI features per update.

- Maintain changelog transparency.

- Refine system visuals consistently.

7. Missing Features Common in Other OSes

- No Advance Game Mode

- No battery usage graph per app

- No edge-to-edge Gboard support (bottom gap visible)

- No “Home Screen Only” mode (apps drawer toggle missing)

- Lacks deep customization options (like Apps icon size , adaptive layout)

Suggestions:

- Add floating window mode & game tools.

- Provide edge-to-edge Gboard layout.

- Offer app drawer toggle and launcher flexibility.

- Allow removing keyboard bottom space.

- Include battery stats and permissions dashboard.

---—————————————————————————–

Conclusion

Nothing OS provides a clean and minimalistic design, but lacks in several key areas users expect in 2025, such as:

- Dynamic animations and transitions

- Haptic feedback

- Customization options

- RAM optimization

- Feature-rich updates

Without addressing these, the OS risks appearing underdeveloped despite its solid hardware.

---—————————————————————————–

Final Recommendation

As loyal users, we urge the Nothing OS development team to:

- Focus on user experience alongside minimal design

- Introduce long-requested features

- Optimize existing hardware/software synergy

- Bring UI elements to life with animations and haptics

Clean doesn’t mean empty. Simple doesn’t mean basic. Minimal doesn’t mean lifeless.

Some of the changes from avove list we need it’s necessary

MallikarjunHaralalli

I’m a big fan of Nothing’s unique design philosophy and clean aesthetic. I have a small request that I believe would add great value to your widget collection.

I’d love to see an analog clock widget for Nothing devices that features:

A smooth sweeping second hand (not ticking),

Classic numbers font (timeless and elegant),

A design that complements the Nothing aesthetic minimal, transparent, and modern.

This would be a beautiful and functional addition for users who appreciate a traditional clock style blended with Nothing’s modern design language.

Thank you for your time and consideration

I really hope you’ll consider adding this to future updates!

AdarshSunil

the 3a and pro or any of the other phones could really use an expert video mode. Almost all other android brands have it. Some people like me really prefer those manual adjustments. I hope they bring it a future update.

Spike Please fix the battery drain issue on CMF Buds Pro 2 and provide more firmware updates both for Buds as well as Watch

Can we also have toggles for Flip to Glyph and AOD in the quick settings? It’s such a pain having to dig for them in the settings.

Maybe you guys also have other things that should get a quick setting toggle.
