Shadocx, 14 Dec 2024With only 5 Nothing phones released in 2 years and a half, ... morekeep in mind that Samsung is also a company that has over 200x more resources (in terms of net worth) than Nothing, and also has around 500x more employees than Nothing

          Every Android smartphone company is scared of Google, as in the future they can stop providing free Android software. 

            Looks like the last for Phone 1.

              Meanwhile Nothing Fold 1 emerges features glyph lighting like Phone 2a with phone 2 as well as lighting on folding area as well. I won't be surprised if Special Community Edition comes with Radium lighting in red and green colors. Fold 1 Prototype has D9400 chipset which is tad bit disappointing. But this might not get official as it might be testing device and we might see 8 Elite 2 on Fold 1 next year. 👀👀

                Nothing wants to be an Apple alternative, but now they have sub-brands like Chinese smartphone companies.

                    Credit where credit is due. Making a beta available for the Phone 1, which is 2.5 years old, before Samsung, is excellent work. Nothing might only have one or two guys developing software.

                      Hurrah, finally got rid of that revolting looking dot matrix clock on the Lock Screen.

                        Shadocx, 14 Dec 2024With only 5 Nothing phones released in 2 years and a half, ... moreSamsung until 2 years ago launched those same 26 phones between the S series, the A, the M, and many others and was almost always one of the first to adopt the new version of Android! Now, by copying and pasting everything that Apple does, it has stagnated even in that, updating its horrible layer on time...

                          Shadocx, 14 Dec 2024With only 5 Nothing phones released in 2 years and a half, ... moreWhile that is somewhat fair, samsung is also a 350 billion dollar company, with the mobile division alone being worth around 100 billion and having 300k employees. I think they could manage if they tried.

                              Anton .el PAPI., 14 Dec 2024Samsung (Clear throat, clear throat) 😅With only 5 Nothing phones released in 2 years and a half, it's easy to update them.
                              In just one year, Samsung released 26 phones.
                              (I didn't even count the tablets)

                                It's funny how the most powerful Nothing the Phone (2) is left behind.

                                Edit: oh nevermind.
