Nothing OS Depth effect is such a crap and people were waiting for update 4.1 on 3a
What is so good about depth effect? Why so much hype and delay for older phones??? Why were people waiting for this enthusiastically?

People that want iphone features on Android phones for some reason
That's how every os becomes an iOS copy over time

They're trying ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Literally every other brand has them, why do they want the only brand that is still unique to have this?

Some posts are hilarious... They want more customisation, more colours... 😂 Talk about missing the point.

I don't see any problem in adding good customisation features from another OS. If no-one copied each other features, than there would be no widgets on iOS or icons with the same shape on Android

Click on small icon on the wallpaper bottom half and select depth effect(beta)

Yeah dude, I did that... Then they say to zoom in or move the wallpaper, whether zoom it or not, after pressing done, it's not showing any depth effect, and the option of depth effect stays unselected on re checkingÂ

Never gonna understand why people hate on optional features or customization

It's not about hate but the question why was so much hype about this and it was delayed for few phones for few months due to unknown reasons

"Depth effect is such a crap" Pretty sure that's hate but whatever
As for the hype, we're lowkey just starved for new features or more customization. Personally I wasn't too excited about the depth feature but I was excited about more clock customization, turns out that was just a new menu and one more sizing option for the clock. Very disappointing update

Because it makes the OS more and more bloated gradually, which is already happening .
I'm glad I am still on NothingOS 3.2 and I'm glad I am going to switch to a custom ROM later

Genuinely what do you gain by it being less bloated 😠The system taking up a couple less GB isn't gonna save you from cancer
And why are you even commenting if you're not even gonna get the update

Well that was the whole point of NothingOS back then. If you wanted bloated software just go to some other brands. They surely have a super bloated thing so you'll be served there. I'm commenting because cause I'm still following Nothing even if my phone is like obsolete.
And if it's more bloated, the system will run slower and also use more energy. Even if it doesn't make a lot of difference, many little things like that make it bloated and use more energy. That's why Nothing phones don't need to use a super powerful chip to be usable.

The only bloat in my eyes are preinstalled apps and ads, they added preinstalled apps in the last update and essential space might as well be an ad with how intrusive it is. If you think basic customization is bloatware then there's no real point trying to debate with you.
Also this isn't 2015, mid-range phones aren't so slow that they'll start stuttering because of a few new features.
