Carl Pei has that potential to change mobile phone industry just like he did with OnePlus & its Oxygen OS. Excited for the new OS experience!

Its stock Android with new wallpaper and some new widgets.. So nothing fenomenal here, the features he showed at the launch are the worst i ever seen in my life.. like i saw launches from every brand aviable,, even the 80€ devices showed more.

All though the nothing phone 1 doesnt scream 'innovation' i do agree on his stance, the android market have been stagnating for years now, its becoming to over saturated with the same phone with different names. This is why apple will always be the dominant smartphone company out there because it exist in its own eco system, while android feels like a free for all battleroyale.

[@dotunmakun]

@Nate I was wondering why he left Apple out of the stagnation critic of all modern smartphones! This is some real sheep mentality! All slab phones haven't innovated in years and that includes especially Apple's iPhone. At least Samsung came up with the Z fold lineup of smartphones in the past couple of years.

The problem is ANDROID. As much as one person can make dots-style widgets and cool fonts, until Google imposes a one-size-fits-all style for all apps, Android will always remain a collage with no consistency. All apps need to follow the same language, as they do on iOS.

[@tails618]

As someone who has used iOS extensively, all apps do NOT follow the same language on iOS. Most of my apps have exactly the same design language on iOS and Android, and they aren't similar to either Apple's or Google's (aside from the apps made by those companies).

[@hirnfaser7245]

It means, what height the tab bar has, when a tab bar should generally be used, at what position a hamburger menu is located at, how widgets look like, where buttons and links are, where a search bar is, etc. And from my experience, theres more consistancy on iOS. But then again, android is used on a much bigger variety of devices and screen sizes. When designing for iOS, you only have 3 screen sizes or sth to consider, it is much easier.

If Carl Pei really wants to "INNOVATE" than iterate in the smartphone space and compete against the iPhone, then he can hire a strong developer team to re-build Android but without the dalvik virtual machine--a truly native version of Android that is hardware efficient to the core. This is the main reason Apple is ahead of Android no matter what. Also, if he makes APIs that can let Android APK bundles run over this native interface then all the existing apps would work on this phone.

My Moto Edge is sort of like this. A "stripped back" efficient experience. Love its gesture features and sleep screen beyond otherwise vanilla stock-ish Andriod (though I swap in Nova, the nimble, nothing-to-look-at, perfect launcher). I have Pixel Buds, they're great. Not much else, all's good. So. Beyond the dot matrix design skin, what does Nothing offer that changes a life? I mean, Android already is fairly open -- Nothing uses that -- wherein different brands of hardware and software play well together (by design). Lots of customizable or stripped down (or strippable down) phones out there. Sincere question: What exactly is the multi-million dollar revolution here? Correct me. Isn't this just another phone? A team smitten with a (dominating, crowded looking?) dot matrix design notion and bizarrely overstated ringtone sample?

Something similar to like HTC M8 dot view..

[@jcoopdo]

It's interesting. But it's running a version of android. And running android, although giving it access to thr Google suite, also limits it to what the platform will be able to accomplish. Apple has what Apple has, because it's a closed loop ecosystem. They control the os and what it does. Google won't allow him to do anything too ground breaking. Sure, he can add features, bells and whistles, but deep multiplatform integration just won't happen. I'd love to see someone have the balls, with the money, and develop a new os that actually I'd able to compete with Google, and Apple. And if enough people use it, Google will gift them official Google suite use similar to Apple. But everyone is so keen to just use Android and skin it, call up Qualcomm, grab some chips, Sony cam sensors and make a phone. It takes a shitton of money to develop something that may or may not take off like that. But the gamble if done correct, would could be a game charger. Unfortunately I don't see this company doing anything different than one plus. Which is fine, but it's not gonna be some ground breaking innovation. At least samsung is attempting innovation with foldable devices and such. Wish they'd kill the curved screens and the note 22 ultra was just a flat slab of glass. Would be alot nicer I think.

[@feroxfoxxo9811]

Uh, Android is all open source so there's nothing Google can do, or really does do, to prevent smartphone manufacturers from adding that form of integration. Huawei is actually doing exactly what you're wanting from Nothing OS, with their Harmony OS (which is essentially a heavily modified version of android) but we don't hear about it much in the west since we're not their audience. The reason companies don't add Apple levels of integration is that it's hard to get developers of other products, likely competing brands, on board with new APIs etc - which is why they usually come from Google themselves as manufacturers generally tend to follow suit, least consumers turn to competitors which support those new features. It's also a pain to merge into new Android versions, which makes update rollouts take such a long time (OxygenOs used to be one of the first to get new versions because of its stock android experience, now it's mediocre at best because of its proprietary systems like their hasselblad collaboration), though we've seen how companies are able to merge their additions to android upstream - particularly with how close Samsung and Google have been working on WearOs 3, and trying to merge aspects of Tizen into it. Would love to be proved wrong, but as you said, it seems this is just going to try be stock android, with a few tweaks and a dot matrix design language, and unfortunately not much more, at least for the first few iterations. Hopefully the hype carries it into being able to make those industry changing software features that it boasts about, but there's a reason this typically only is successful from large phone manufacturers.

[@thundurr]

@@feroxfoxxo9811 Actually Google does do this, they publish lots of android under Apache License version 2.0 which prevents companies from creating "restrictive" or more in-depth experiences and also nearly all stock android apps are actually closed-source. Google also pays companies like Samsung to force their apps on home-screen and then Samsung does stupid things like making duplicate apps of stock android apps.
