The creator of Nothing OS, Mladen Hoyss, sat down with us to discuss the decision to go with a monochromatic user interface, upcoming changes to the OS, native applications, bloatware, and other aspects of what makes Nothing OS unique.
Nothing about the Glyph interface with its gamified customizations, its translucent back design, or its OS is unique. I’ve been using the Nothing Phone 2a for a few weeks now, and I’ve discovered that a big part of what makes the phone unique is the Nothing OS. The operating system achieves an ideal equilibrium between providing customizations and the standard Android experience, all without any bloatware. The operating system has useful widgets that are more than just shortcuts; it places a high value on design.
One thing about the OS that really caught my attention was how little but significantly it enhances your experience. It may first seem like nothing more than an alternate launcher or skin for a lot of consumers who are already familiar with Android. But when you use it more, you realize how closely the aesthetics and utility are paired. My curiosity with the operating system grew as I used the gadget more. Curious, I decided to have a conversation with Mladen Hoyss, the creator of Nothing OS, to find out more about the decision to go with a monochromatic user interface, upcoming features, native apps, bloatware, and other aspects of what makes Nothing OS unique.
Industrial designer Hoyss states, “We view functional aesthetics as the North Star to whatever we are designing.” “It must have functionality, but the functionality must match the design of everything else we are working on. It may be a system-wide feature or a wallpaper, he continued. Giving consumers the same experience they get from opening our phone when they view the hardware and when they flip it around is the largest problem facing Nothing OS. This is consistent with our aesthetic’s emphasis on transparency, so how can we make this even more transparent and carry over the phone’s back to its front design language? The response is of course, Nothing OS.
Furthermore, the monochromatic design plays a significant role in the Nothing OS’s aesthetics. Furthermore, Hoyss’ love of photography served as a major source of inspiration for the OS’s design. “I’m a really enthusiastic photographer. Additionally, I find inspiration in black and white photography due of its effective compositional, form, and narrative isolation. Because there are fewer colors, there is less attention,” he remarked. “So I reasoned, why don’t we just develop software that provides you with the same level of concentration?”
However, Nothing OS has only been released in a few number of variants. Right now, we’re using Nothing OS 2.5. Look where Oxygen OS and OneUI have come from, considering how much they promised a stock experience at first. Thus, the true query is: Will Nothing OS continue to be free of bloatware?
Bloatware-free stalking is another feature of the Nothing OS that you would notice. But how does Nothing achieve this in a world of bloatware-filled ColorOS and MIUIs? Hoyss, the Software Creative Director at Nothing, states that “not having any bloatware in our software is a major, major thing.” “We wouldn’t be interested in doing anything similar. As we have done so far, we truly want to maintain a quick, easy, and clean experience,” he continued.
“We refuse to comply with any of these demands from outside businesses or applications. Actually, it is up to the user. When it comes to the applications and software they use, we aim to provide consumers with an unconventional experience. However, why not utilize a productivity tool that is truly remarkable, enhances user experience, and integrates seamlessly with our operating system in terms of productivity and design? However, it must be flawless, extremely seamless, and meet all requirements. But once more, money is not the issue here. According to Hoyss, this is only if we believe there is something that would enhance the user experience.
