As a concept, BESPOKE is foreigner when it comes to smartphone. Unlike other strains of consumer technology, there is little that the hardware of the phone can be sewn. Therefore, software adaptation is an inclusive and integral part of personalizing smartphones.
Android is a symbol of freedom of traditionally optimizing. But with so many brands, the sole purpose is running wild with sole purpose to increase its market share, with facilities such as superfast charging speed and imaginary photography skills.
Nothing, the goal of an infant smartphone brand, emphasizing the meaningful use of the smartphone – and gives users the power to control your phone rather than they are controlled. But how good is it with its first attempt? I am not as effective as you want, I am afraid.
Here why nothing seems to be suitable for nothing on the first look.
How to label minimalism
Nothing was established in 2021 by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei. Since the beginning, it has demanded to serve a delicious experience with technology by reducing the deflections of consumers and Make these experiences less boring Which is already available. Therefore, its philosophy – as its name has been trumped – thrives on the lines of minimalism, even though its first product, ears launched in August 2021 (1) yearbuds, follows that approach only in a beauty sense.
In March 2022, there was no special program to announce a plan to launch a new phone. Although Vipul Leikar gave us a glimpse of the phone, nothing has been emphasized which separates the phone (1). The Keenot had symbolic references of the Star Trek and a Karl Sagan was narrated by the look-alik.
In the short – and quite irony is that, uncontrolled – nothing, is promised to create a prestigious product ecosystem that is dedicated to seamless connectivity. The company also gave us preview of its customized Android skin – which is kept as a solution “nothing” – it is placed as a solution that allows its phone to be originally nothing, as well as connecting with other major technical brands of the world.

According to PEI, Nothing! “Will catch the best of Android in uncontrolled form”Distilling the operating system only for essential things“For a purposeful, incredible and personal experience with smartphones. The company aims to create an experience with a blissful harmony of UI elements, colors, and sounds, which is in its custom skin.
As promised at the event, nothing has opened up a new beta preview of OS as a custom Android launcher, currently available only for Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 and Google Pixel device (Pixel 5 and Neur). I tried to assess the launcher how it lends to the spirit of minimalism does not support anything.
Does nothing offer OS beta preview
Nothing is OS launcher Google Play Store available On the above mentioned equipment. What is the goal for the company, on the contrary, nothing launcher seems quite angry and indifferent. This is nothing, the characteristics seen in the launcher.
Launcher
Nothing mimics simple menu options on Launcher Pixel Launcher, which is limited to Google's smartphone. The options in the home screen menu are traditional (read boilerplate). At the same time, launcher settings have only two underdeveloped options – to show the notification dots on the app icon and add new installed apps to the home screen.
Nothing allows launcher users to change the size of the app icon. But unlike a host of other Android launcher that enables you to cure the size of the icon, nothing that gives the icon the option to expand a huge footprint. I fail to see the value behind an unusually prevalent icon.
The size of the unusual icon gets even more disturbed when you realize that padding between the two increased icons is the only thing that follows minimalism. Finely looted the home screen of the veded icon empty space in a way, which can only be classified as an assimilation genocide of minimalism.
Draws with your fixed icon grid and lack of any option to replace it, once again, looks like a trifle.
A wallpaper
Nothing Launcher provides only one wallpaper – even if the company Claims that it is threeIt is the same wallpaper with right lines that were first shown as part of the preview of the operating system in March 2022. Unlike the vision that nothing wants to sell, the wallpaper seems quite distracted and reduces the visibility of the text and widget. Talking about widgets, there are some interesting joints here, but once again, nothing is uncommon.
I saw another wallpaper in one of the settings menu, but could not apply it as a system background.
Some widgets
Nothing is the only compelling aspect of the launcher is the classification of the custom widget that brings it. There are only three widgets – one digital clock, an analog clock and a weather widget. Digital clock and weather widgets not hallmark dotted-line font.
I fail to understand how this font is called nothing with minimalism. Instead, its retro aesthetics are associated with classic imagery associated with futuristic technology. For me, it reminds of digital hoardings and thus, visible noise.
Special ringtone
Nothing states that it has added three special ringtones designed by audiofiles, but I did not find them while running the launcher on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I want what it would happen
Although there is nothing that its low intrusion downs the standard Android interface in favor of Android skin, I think some characteristics may help the company improve the message, while it is different.
Clever integration
Conversely, nothing emphasizes, its launcher does not look like a step towards an ecosystem for a comfortable interrelation between devices. What can be more understanding is a widget or app sub -section so that everything can be managed in one place. This may include options to manage wireless connections and Bluetooth devices, togling sound profiles and controlling smart home devices through Google Home Integration.
Nothing not only misses the mark with its “minimal” design, but also reveals – at least on the initial impression – the opportunity to set an example for other brands, assuring users, is doing something worthwhile.
For credits of nothing, it teased an inclusive quick settings interface at the march event. But this will not be possible until it releases full firmware for devices.
A minimalism mode to-go
Google and Apple have floated the idea of digital welfare for some years. While Android provides capacity Hide information When you are working, iOS allows you to set several intervals, after which it distributes the compact summary of information. OnePlus-and its sister companies such as realme and oppo-work-life also make a large condition on the balance mode that allows users to classify aspects from the individual and professional fronts of their life. Meanwhile, Xiaomi provides a light mode that automatically increases the size of the icon (within the bear range) to make the use easier for inexperienced users.
Nothing is such a solution to allow users to withdraw from unwanted noise. Easy gestures or shortcuts must have understood a lot to enter a low-distracted mode.
Brands should promote minimalism, not monotonous
While there is nothing as a brand to help users to dodge the tireless stream of digital distraction, it does not take a step in that direction. Instead, there is nothing to snatch options in Android, it makes unknown and lack. If there is one aspect in which nothing is successful, it is as unique as eligible; Nothing is the first preview of OS is specificly dry. The first draft lacks skills, maturity and most importantly, lack of enthusiasm for technology – and it is undeniably disappointing for a technology company.
For now, I will be operated by the famous and highly reliable quotes of the Austrian psychologist Victor Frankle- for this it must be compatible with some amendments and adapt to the gender-plate and modern times. “Everything can be taken from one [human] But one thing: the last of human freedom – to choose someone's attitude in any set of circumstances, to choose in your own way. “Nothing has chosen his way, and that's that I worry.
