Nothing Phone 2 Users Are NOT Happy

Fresh off the back of one of the biggest phone launches in recent memories, you’d think Nothing had plenty to be happy about. But all is not well in the Camp Nothing Community.

Loads of its current and legacy users are unhappy that the new Nothing Phone 2a is getting the Nothing OS 2.5.3 first. Users aren’t happy about the staggered update or the fact that they have to wait. Understandably too; the Nothing Phone 2 is a more expensive device.

Here’s a selection of some just some of the disgruntled Nothing Phone 2 users from Nothing’s community forum:

I am angry that is not for the nothing phone 2 yet

I am angry that is not for the nothing phone 2 yet

Phone (2a)? Seriously!?
How about Phone (2)???

Waiting for this on my Phone2 and please where is the option of extending ram on Nothing phone2? I see it’s available on 2a but not on the 2

I hope that NOS 2.5.3 arrives soon for Nothing phone 2, from the changelog it seems that they have solved many problems that were present on NOS 2.5.2 and introduces interesting features. I hope that this delay in the update is justified by a good bugfix…

Guys. You’ve got 3 phones out – total. And the phone 2 is supposedly your flagship. And, instead of that one getting the OS, you roll it out first to your cheapest? Seriously?

I strongly disagree. We are not talking about releasing a “day one patch” that fixing some bugs in a new product. The point is that a number of new features are not primarily given to the flagship model. Yes, many manufacturers, when releasing a new flagship, prioritize installing a newer OS version on it, making some new cool features available only for new one. But doing so when releasing the cheapest phone in the line is at least strange and disappointing (IMHO)
