This text is about Nothing phone Os update rewrite this in form of article "welcome everybody to the latest cly

update Q3 was another really great cor

for the nothing team we finally deployed

nothing OS 2.0 for phone 1 users we

collaborated with SFA to release a new

sound pack for our glyph composer cmf by

nothing launched its first three

products and finally as we're recording

this the nothing brand is celebrating

turning 3 years old this is the final

quarterly update of 2023 and today we'll

be hearing from Carl Bruno ran and of

course Louie whilst we at nothing have

been super busy ourselves so is the

community so a quick shout out to a few

members whose work has caught our

attention over the past 3 months Aman

with his cmf watch Pro screen

Concepts Akash with his colorful

illustrations featuring nothing products

and Dimitri for his crisp renders of a

mechanical keyboard concept now there's

plenty to cover in this Edition so I'll

hand you straight over to

[Music]

Carl okay so the team told me to say

something about nothing turning three to

be honest this exercise has been really

hard for me because on one hand so many

things have happened in the last 3 years

so it's really hard to point to anything

specific and really summarize it in a

couple of minutes on the other hand

there's so much public information about

us so I really struggled to find what to

say without boring you with information

that you already knew so I thought to

myself how could I really boil down

everything we've been doing in the last

3 years to its Essence and that's what I

wanted to share with you today if I had

to summarize I think it's in a being

misunderstood and B increasing our

capabilities so talking about being

misunderstood I understand you know we

haven't been really super clear about

everything that we're going to do in the

future and I think it's fine to be a

little bit misunderstood as long as we

deliver products that people love and

our users are voting with their feet so

if you look at the first year people

were saying that nothing is this cool uh

new company that's making really

well-designed audio products earbuds in

the second year because we launched the

phone one people said that we were a

smartphone company okay we accepted in

the third year I think things started to

get a little bit confusing for people we

launched the phone 2 with an upgraded

nothing OS 2.0 people saw that we were

way more into software than before we

also did the sub Rand so still a

smartphone company but a bit less clear

than before but whilst we were doing all

those things externally internally a lot

of things have changed and we've really

really improved our capabilities in the

last 3 years one if you take engineering

you know in the beginning a lot of our

engineering work was outsourced today

most of it is in-house

with increased capabilities we can also

sustain more products in the market

where we could only have a few products

before but today we can build launch and

sustain multiple products at the same

time in the market and the second thing

is the team our team keeps improving

week over week this is the smartest most

hardworking most passionate group of

people that I've ever worked with and I

think now we're really learning how to

hire the best people in the world and

together we have this constant learning

Loop where we improve our strategies

improve our processes and keep getting

better together and third our financial

performance is really improving year on

year this is driven by multiple factors

for instance our products getting better

and better and more people buying them

because our brand is more well-known our

distribution is more wide- ranging than

before and to add to that our supply

chain has gotten a lot stronger so the

terms that we're getting from our

suppliers are a lot more favorable than

in the past so all of this has led to a

really good financial performance

improvements over the last 3 years we

moved really fast but but internally

we're still super critical of ourselves

because we want to get better faster but

if you actually take a step back and

look around which other company at 3

years old has executed like we have I

don't think there's a lot right and with

these new capabilities that we've

acquired I think we can do a lot more so

the future looks really really exciting

and I can't wait to share more of our

plans in due time but today we do have

something new to share with you guys I'd

like to welcome Bruno to come and talk

about nothing OS 2.5 the newest

iteration of of our mobile operating

system thanks Carl hi everyone today

I'll be sharing some of the work we've

been doing to elevate our s experience

as we introduce nothing OS 2.5 plus some

insights into what's coming up in the

near future those of you taking part in

our phone 2 open Beta may already be

familiar with some of what I'm sharing

today but this is still a good chance to

get an overall look at what we've been

working on over the past few months and

our thinking behind functional

Aesthetics and putting the

decision-making power back into the

hands of our users was the goal with

nothing 2.0 and as we reach this next

Milestone with 2.5 based on Android 14

we remain laser focused on bolstering on

this Vision so let's talk widgets as

with the glyph interface our rigid

system not only helps to communicate at

a glance but also provides different

layers of information and even functions

when you swipe vertically this reduces

the need to open apps and gives your

home screen more purpose and

functionality instead of just being a

ported to silid experiences We are

continuing to build on that so let's

take a look at some of the latest first

we have the pedometer widget here you

able to easily set and monitor the

progression of your daily step goal from

0o to 100% with a fun progress

visualization you can also swipe up to

track your average weekly step count or

view a monthly snapshot of your daily

goals and streaks another top request

from our users is the media widget this

allows you to navigate an album or

podcast from any media Source tap to

pause or play use vertical swipes to

viewr test and audio info or use

horizontal swipes to skip tracks forward

or backwards multiple service

compatibility means the widget will pull

content seamlessly from when you switch

between media from different apps and

there is more the new screen time widget

at nothing we want to make Tech fun

again but we also remain mindful of our

smartphone usage as such this widget

allows you to monitor time spent on the

home screen through a playful character

that will indicate when you have

exceeded or not your set daily limit you

can also swipe vertically to check on

actually screen time information one

final note on widgets though which is

great news for our users we are now

leveraging the Google Play Store for

widget updates what this means is

they'll be rolled out with more

frequency instead of being t to our

normal OS update schedule now moving on

from widgets we have redesigned our

customization menu into a One-Stop shop

experience prior to nutting OS 2.5 we

felt that the experience while improved

was still quite fragmented so we decided

to tie all of this together into a

simple interface that gives you access

to all the settings you need to make the

device Uniquely Yours we also learned

through comments on Twitter and

dedicated workshops on Discord that

screenshots while seemingly a small

feature are actually quite vital and

used daily as they allow for quick

information sharing so we've added a

whole new interface for editing

annotating and corupting captured

content we've also added the option to

delete screenshots immediately just in

case you took one the mistake

additionally there's a three finger

thraser for triggering screenshots plus

the ability to capture partial parts of

the home screen just by long pressing

and dragging to select a specific

capture area there's also plenty of

other small improvements and adjustments

throughout the OS including animations

better widget organization five column

grid improvements and minor ey updates

like sliders and some quick settings

as your feature scope increases we must

maintain a consistent experience across

the board always making sure that our

Solutions are scalable and fature proof

forwards coming next now if you are a

phone 2 user looking to experience the

latest nothing OS features you can get

access to open Beta 2 starting today

November 9th simply head to nothing.

community and download or bet install it

details will be linked down below obt2

is your opportunity to see real

responses and refinement to the feedback

we have received during the roll out of

ob1 and test drive latest improvements

on glyph including glyph timer UI and

progress for Google Calendar as we look

to the Future and continue to evolve the

nothing OS platform here are some things

that I can tell you that are top of mind

for us as we develop nothing 3.0 while I

can't disclose any timings in too many

specifics I'm happy to share with you a

bit more about what we are discussing

behind closed doors and key areas of

exploration first we have connected

experiences we a to create features that

make it easier to connect with people

you truly care about for that we are

exploring how to design meaningful

interactions in nothing o that don't

distract you or others from what matters

the most second enhance gft experiences

we know that even more can be a shied

through our glyph interface so we are

looking to introduce new combinations of

hardware and software features over time

last but not least we aim to bring a

higher level of UI uniformity across the

OS and our apps nothing OS 2.0 brought

our vision to life with clear purpose

and functionality the next phase of this

is to push even harder for a more visual

cohesive experience overall that that

extends to all our applications so

that's it now you know what we are

thinking about as we look to the next

phase of Ros and we are so excited to

bring you a new version in 2024 as

always please keep the feedback coming

it's super important for us next up we

have Ryan to talk about our new upper a

line last month we revealed our latest

project nothing apparel the reveal

happened here in London with a special

preview and event at do Street Market

iconic fashion and design space right in

the Heart of the City we were blown away

and really excited by the initial

feedback to the range inspired by

classic Factory and labware from Tech's

golden age as well as nothing's iconic

Hardware design we see nothing apparel

as our design ethos in a textile form

actually this is something we want to do

for a very long time the project started

last year and has been run by a team of

dedicated experts conceptualized with

our friends over at teenage engineering

our focus is quality-driven wardrobe

Staples that are designed to withstand

the test of time the full apparel lineup

includes a coat a cap tracksuit heavy

hoodie and much more to come our plan

for apparel is that it continues to play

a core part in our product road map we

see this is our uniform work wear we

still want to wear when the work is all

done focused on style and practicality

these pieces are for anybody trying to

make something new happen of course

sustainability plays a really key role

in The Collection the garments are made

from 100% recycled nylon and 100% %

organic cotton the YKK zippers we're

using are very premium and made from

recycled materials including ocean

Source Plastics even the bag that we Shi

the products in is 100% biodegradable

plant-based a wider selection of pieces

will be made available via a series of

limited drops online and at nothing

store Soho in London at a later date be

sure to check it out on nothing. te now

over to

Louie hey Community this quarter marked

my final board Observer meeting for 201

23 and I didn't hold back it was really

important for me to let the team know

that whilst the quarter as a whole has

seen some really good developments with

things like the Android 14 open Beta

there's been enhanced Community

engagement with the relaunch of the

community Forum site plus we've seen

more recently nothing and chroma have

partnered with the India market which

has been really well received however

there's also been a lot of confusion and

unsettlement within Community for

instance cmf by nothing was a really

exciting launch with product demand

going through the roof however we've all

felt a little frustrated by the lack of

clarity around product launch Cs and an

overall availability there's also been

some question marks around some of the

other non-tech related launches and

collaborations and within the meeting

this generated some really interesting

conversations around how nothing could

approach this in the near future I also

raised some points that there's been

reports of a few ongoing issues for some

of you with battery drains and camera

underperformance with your phone proc

prods now rest assured the team are

working hard to address these issues of

which another one was raised around FPS

limitations for some of you mobile

Gamers now my understanding coming out

the meeting is that this isn't to do

with nothing this is more to do with the

game developers themselves and rest

assured again discussions are ongoing

with these different developers to allow

them to enhance FPS levels for you in

the near future of course there's a lot

I can't talk about from the meeting but

there is definitely a lot to look

forward to for the rest of the year and

Beyond finally for me it's been a real

privilege to represent you this year

let's keep making Community great

together and I'll see you around back to

you

rob thanks Louie shout out to you for a

great term in the board Observer
