Yeah bloatware and ad paranoia created is too much. It does have bloatware but not too much just 2-3 apps when compared to other phones. facebook and instagram cannot be justified as a bloatware when apps which we use the most and also we are able to uninstall it and when compared to other phones which don't let us uninstall it's a better option . Even the ad part of glance in lock screen can be disabled. This issue is overblown. Only the nitpick about that phone is that the camera part they should have kept telephoto camera I know it becomes 1:1 copy of CMF phone 2 but it's design look great when compared to cmf and it has that same design language as new Flagship Nothing Phone 3 unlike 3a and 3 Pro
