Nothng says this cost-cutting measure isn’t about cost-cutting (yeah, right)

Nothing says the decision to use slower storage isn't due to cost-cutting. In unrelated news, I've got GTA 6.

  • Nothing has issued a blog post to explain why it’s using slower storage on the Nothing Phone 3a series.
  • The company has claimed that this decision “wasn’t about cutting costs.”
  • Followers aren’t convinced by this assertion, though.

The Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro both look like great mid-range Android phones, but these devices have a few compromises as you’d expect. Now, Nothing has explained the reason for a notable storage downgrade, but fans aren’t buying it.

Nothing issued a blog post this week detailing the reasons why it’s using older UFS 2.2 storage on the Phone 3a series instead of the newer (but not newest) UFS 3.1 standard.
