Somebody decided to scrutinize nothing that's the reason we know.I bet its similar on other phones when you debloat their ROMs.

We need more such information for other phones too so we know better.

  • samsung budget workphone: battery usage doesnt change much, but the phone itself is a lot more responsive and lot faster
  • motorola after debloat becomes faster, but some gesture features and customisation craps itself overtime
  • xiaomi phone debloat is the best so far. faster, better battery usage, no ads.

as for nothing, i wouldnt trust them since they have an ai social media ai button specificly, and the ceo makes horrible comparison videos on youtube. the xda forum wont have a preferred brand, they love their poco x3 just as the newest pixel. i dont think they would specificly shit on nothing.

Nothing has positioned itself as a consumer friendly brand, so the scrutiny is justified. Nothing is nothing special.

Didn't say it wasn't. Just said others should be scrutinized too. Not everyone buys a nothing phone.

On Poco X7 Pro debloating improved the battery. I didn't remove the wallpaper app though.
