Nothing responded to criticism: Why does the Phone (3a) have outdated UFS 2.2 memory?
Department: Interview
Nothing found itself in the center of a scandal after the announcement of the Phone (3a) series of smartphones. Users expected advanced technologies, but instead received UFS 2.2 - an outdated memory standard that is clearly inferior to modern UFS 3.1 and UFS 4.0. This caused a wave of criticism on social networks: fans are disappointed, and competitors are gloating. So why did Nothing take such a step?

Official explanation from the company
Nothing representatives stated that the use of UFS 2.2 is a conscious compromise between performance and price. According to them, the company strives to keep its devices affordable, and more advanced memory would significantly increase the cost of the smartphone.
However, users were not too happy with this answer. Many point to competitors that offer faster solutions in the same price segment. Some believe that Nothing is trying to save on components, passing it off as an “optimal balance”.
What do users say?
The reaction of fans was divided into two camps.
- Critics believe that Nothing has betrayed its philosophy of “revolutionary design and advanced technology” and simply made another average product.
- Defenders are sure that if the software is optimized, the difference in speed will be unnoticeable in real life.
Bottom line: a failure or a justified decision?
The question remains open as to how justified the choice of UFS 2.2 for Phone (3a) will be. If Nothing manages to compensate for this shortcoming through software optimization, users may not notice the difference. But if competitors offer better characteristics for the same money, the brand may lose the trust of the audience. The market will decide everything, and it won’t be long before the first reviews appear.
