Doesn’t everyone know not to buy nothing by now?
Not at all surprising for anyone who followed this company for a while. They’ve pretty much been all marketing. The phones are far from what they are advertised to be. Hell, it’d be great if they at least worked properly.
Privacy, user control and consent means nothing to these companies.
Wow they’ve fallen hard in the last 24 hours
Nothing good will come of this.
Nothing could have been Something.
Something
I thought nothing was going to be the OG oneplus, bringing flagship killers at decent prices. Not the case, I got the first ear ones, had heaps of issues, no help from support and they stopped updating them. Years go by, looking for a watch, try the CMF watch by nothing, I’ve had nothing but connection issues and bugs and a dislike for the weird lack of customisation (can’t make a timer widget unless its one of the set times they choose? Why??) It’s put me off ever getting a phone by nothing.
So it is oficially a shitphone.
Bruh. This is truly surprising. I feel like for a phone like this, it must be like 90% of the target market that would hate this? Seems like an unimaginably bad business decision. Of course, if FB gave them enough money, then this is kinda like taking a bribe to stop competing.
They are pivoting to a new customer base, people who are vaguely aware privacy is a concern but aren’t capable of figuring out nothing phones are a scam.
This is one of the main reasons I don’t run Android, the bloatware that comes with the phone that can’t be removed without root.
Just fyi you can uninstall them without root, though it’s slightly technical https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
You don’t have to even get very technical, you can use a GUI instead of terminal controls, as mentioned in the same article.
I used ADB App Control to debloat my stock, unrooted Galaxy Tab.
Shizuku and Canta works for me 🙂
This is a major bummer. I was kinda rooting for them to be the OEM that GOS would be working with.
LMAO, lol even. Nothing 3 had shit hardware for the price, I was hoping it wouldn’t be them.
Oh? TIL. I guess if they’ve ruled out fairphone and nothing is as bad as you say, maybe it’s a larger player. Can’t think of many other small ones.
Moto seems like a contender. Or one of the Chinese players like Oneplus or Xiaomi, they are also looking for an edge over the market.
Personally I think it’ll be one of the bigger Chinese OEMs. Their phones have gotten a lot better recently, and security is pretty much the only thing they’re lacking. A move like this would perfectly fit some of their strategies.
We’ll see what happens. I’m enjoying analyzing the market to speculate which company it may be.
i knew they was fake as shit bro
More new ways to spy on us. Nothing is a good brand, but this is wrong. ( •_•)
@Mattr @Toasted_Breakfast They’re trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned “off” by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn’t getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.
FUCK THAT
