    38~39 MB and all of this improvements? I updated my redmi from MIUI 12.5 to 13, for 2.5 GB and all I felt was the change in wallpaper and green notification for camera/mic use - and the latter is for default android not even MIUI.

      Is like saying “We take care of our products after sale and we always try to improve them”.
      Samsung is doing this all the time. I remember they release software update couple of days after they release S22 series. Which in my opinion, was planned even before the release of the phones.
      So Nothing phone can use same strategy.

          Anonymous, 01 Aug 2022Imagine this : Same screen but with 90Hz. SD480+. D... moreNo one would buy that.

So what if Nothing doesn't have a flagship, they can still make a 250€ phone or something with specs that are lower than their mid ranger. Everyone else does that, why shouldn't Nothing if they want? Just because they don't have the top of the line flagship? That's silly.

                Improved charging speed performance wow 😱
                Now you can charge your Nothing in 30 min 😐

                  Grey Wolf, 01 Aug 2022They are promoting it as an iPhone alternative, because the... moreI don't get it why people want to show off. It is just an iPhone. It is a phone not a luxury restaurant. And even design is boring and quite boxy.

                    Grey Wolf, 01 Aug 2022They are promoting it as an iPhone alternative, because the... moreAnd comparing it to old Android phones is also absolutely absurd. Why? You can ALWAYS find some old model of whatever brand that's "better value" with "better specs for less money" when all Android phones depreciate with age so quickly. Take Oppo Find X3 Pro as example. A full on balls to the walls all out high end specs from last year flagship from Oppo. It launched for 1150€ in Spring 2021. It's now around 600€ in Summer 2022. A good year after release.

                    Why would ANYONE buy a 600€ "upper end mid ranger" when you can buy a depreciated flagship from last year for same price? It's just how it is, people like brand new things. Often because buying Android at later time means you'll be losing software support with every year you buy it after release, among some things.

                    Meanwhile, iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB, released for 1340€, currently priced at 1300€ essentially a year later. One may say, that's stupid, it's a year old phone now. Well, yes. It's why comparing anything with iPhones is meaningless too.

                      Anonymous, 01 Aug 2022iOS level lol who’d buy such a silly phone They are promoting it as an iPhone alternative, because they want people to think is much more affordable than it actual is.
                      Is a marketing strategy. Something like "Ohh, look our phone looks like an iPhone 13, but half the price". Lol.
                      Because, if people will start comparing Nothing phone (1) with other Android phones, they will realize is not so good offer. I mean, you can literally buy a SD888 phone with the same money in my country. Or a SD870 phone at more affordable price than this Nothing phone (1).
                      But, of course, is the hype created around this phone. So, many potential buyers will be interested in it just for this thing.

                                And we thought that is the end of Nothing news after the phone was released.

                                  Essential PH-1 (2017) and Microsoft Surface Duo (2020) started off with many issues too and software updates eventually fixed most of them. I don't see anything different for the Nothing phone (1). Software will only continue to improve.

                                    I love these third tier companies rushing to release unfinished products and claiming to be improving it with updates.
