It definitely has nothing to do with Nothing. They are just using this to get attention. It's pathetic really.

They are probably struggling for sales of their overpriced weird looking devices and needed some way to remind people they still exist

If you're considering the Nothing 2, I advise you to rather look at the OnePlus 11, a far superior phone at a similar price. Especially on black Friday

OnePlus software is hot garbage now. Buy Pixel.

I was going to say.

What's a phone that's inherently better than the Pixel in terms of software?

Hardware-wise, any phone with a smaller screen, an audio jack, a notification led, an SD card slot and a replaceable battery worked be better than the Pixel.

But in terms of software, I guess if there is one OS variant that would allow me to turn the wifi on/off with a single tap would win me over. But usually, variants get in the way with their modifications.

My Pixel 6 Pro maybe couldn’t call 911 for a week, was vulnerable to a device take over flaw Google owns security team disclosed and wasn’t patched until a week after the 90 day public disclosure deadline, and the modem heats up the phone and kills the battery.
