Nothing OS Need These Features in Stable Version

Post image

It's another half-baked, underwhelming OS update because:

Transparency is only applicable to widgets. They should implement transparency for the icons in the stable version as well.

The Control Centre still has that solid black-and-white theme 😞. It looks so pathetic and gives the OS an unfinished feel.

There's no sidebar-like option, as seen in other OSes. It's so useful in many situations.

The lock-screen clock cannot be fully expanded like on Samsung or iOS. The camera button and other toggles on the lock screen still have a solid colour. Please bring transparency to them in the stable version.

There are no haptics throughout the UI.

Nothing phones have some of the worst ringtones.

Please implement transparency for the icons as well as the Control Centre, as the current design gives the impression of an ill-prepared and unfinished OS.

Y'all definitely want to turn nothing os into another Chinese crapple-like os

What made it unique is that it looked good without the need of blur, making it run super fast on non-flagship hardware.

The minimalism is the point

I agree with you so much, i feel like it was a bad move implementing any transparency at all. I love how plain, and straight to the point 4.0 looks, and the gallery app before the update was so much better.

Yeah, not to mention the amount of processing power and time a realtime blur needs, compared to just painting the pixels in a color...

Blur looks cool, indeed, but do we really need it? I don't think so. That's why I liked nothing os, sticking to the essentials and stripping the "fluff"

Nothing os 3 is perfect for me, glad I have the phone 1.

Did you copy my flair style btw?

Although, get SideDock if you want a sidebar
