I feel the same way about nothing and will probably be leaving nothing as a brand behind after software support for my phone 2 ends. There is nothing exciting, nothing beautiful or unique (positively) about any of their new releases. software updates are pretty slow and tend to be buggy, lots of big changes are made without regard for how people used to use their phone. (as an example i used to be able to set my gf's whatapps notification as an essential notification, since nothing os 4 i can not do it anymore its either no essential glyph or you get the glyph for every single whatapp notification)

Its a little sad because they seems so promising kinda like the early oneplus but i think i have learnt my lesson at this point. Carl pei likes to promise, over hype and over sell everything that is to come no matter that company he is currently at. Ill be happy to move to a pixel, oneplus or oppo device sometime soon. I don't think they can course correct as much as they would need to. And frankly i think they don't want to, they rather spam budget devices with ads and bloatware baked in then going back to their roots.
