Hi, where else can I upload this image to illustrate what I mean?
This is UI on my nothing phone. I see a major benefit for my everyday mental wellbeing to not have my phone shooting at me with all colors, and instead being “just a good interface”.
There might be some issues with icon recognition and speed of access, but since that’s your device and your icon placement, you eventually getting used to it. In exchange you receive a clean UI which doesn’t overload your receptors, which is a very important thing for the device you look at often.
Weather widget in the middle often shows calendar events, but I don’t discolse that for privacy.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
if one may pry further, what has been the most obvious of the bloatware on the device? how irritating has it been?
context: i’m tapping this comment out on a samsung device that has a whole shadow suite of bloatware apps which simply can’t be disabled on stock. i am considering a switch but don’t want to end up swapping a frying pan for the fire.
As a first time Samsung user (with OneUI 7. So I never had experience when they were very bad from what I heard), I like a few of their apps more than Google’s or other options tbh. Their Notes app is basically needed for handwriting notes using the stylus. I like their Calendar app more than Google’s, and it’s a toss between Fossify Calendar. Their Clock app is kind of amazing that I can make alarm groups that I can set to turn on or off based on a few conditions.
Bixby and AI stuff though can fuck off. Turned it off immediately.
Oh fuck no… Samsung taught me to hate bloatware. Nothing is not even in the same league. The 2a came with an app to integrate other Nothing devices and an AI wallpaper generator. It also came with some software to integrate with the glyph interface that I actually liked.
Just an FYI, a lot of phones can now be debloated using Shizuku and Canta. Just search the right process for your phone
