- Nothing about the price of phone 3 has defended criticism, saying that this device is not for every region.
- Specifically, a spokesperson told nothing Bloomberg That the company’s largest market is not the main focus for phone 3 – a statement fans may face problems.
- The company also noted that there was no plan to reduce the cost of its device.
Nothing is proving to be discriminatory by phone 3 design … literally. Its offshit camera layout, New Gulf Matrix, and Price tag that is not ahead of the previous phone has not made the phone 3 a ticking point in tech forums and comments sections. And while the nothing of the Karl PE -led startup is nothing new to the product’s product, the company’s latest statement about which the phone 3 is really about is a bit about it.
In response to a growing complaints about the price of phone 3, a spokesperson said nothing Bloomberg That the company has no plans to reduce the value of the device and that its margin is the key to maintaining investment. After that, the spokesperson said that most of the cost complaints were coming from consumers in India, but this region is not “the basic focus market” for the phone 3. The spokesperson added, “We have designed our product portfolio with different prices to serve different regions, and we have other offers in the extent that is more India -based.”
For a market that does not contain the largest consumer and market where it has seen the fastest growth in the last two years, the statement seems to be a bit rejected.
According to CounterPoint Research, anything did not record an annual increase in the ship in the region under the Q2 2025 question, which marked its sixth straight quarter as the fastest growing smartphone brand. This growth has been successfully driven by the impressive CMF phone 2 Pro and nothing is increasing offline presence.
But while the brand’s more affordable line -up is clearly resonating with buyers, Phone 3, its first self -inflicted “real flagship”, that the Galaxy S25 series or Pixel 9 has been criticized for not delivering a premium experience compared to the Pixel 9 lineup. Instead of resolving criticism about pricing and positioning, the company, known as community -based, has significantly adopted a defensive tone.
CEO Carl PE also recently took on YouTube to respond to phone 3 studies. “I don’t know why people are so emotional about phone design,” he said. “Either you like it or you don’t like it. And if you don’t like it, go ahead.” He added that when it is a pleasure to see how much the society is investing, the issues are far away: “We have colleagues who are now being harassed for design.”
There is no doubt that online criticism can sometimes cross lines, and that harassment of any kind should not be acceptable. But it is equally important for companies to listen to and consider consumers’ legitimate concerns. A large market says “not the focus”, especially when it becomes a major part of your brand development, can be seen as sending the wrong message.
It is also noteworthy that the iPhone 16 has come to the forefront of this last quarter as the highest sending device in India, indicating that the flagship demand is very high in the country. According to the anti -point point, the ultra -premium pricing class increased by 37 % year in India. So, in fact, the statement of anything does not show that the criticism of a large section of its user base does not matter, or even worse, these users are not capable of flagging experience.
Although it is nothing to design different products for different markets, because it is a business at the end of the day, it is a bit out to see that a brand that always holds itself as a position that listens to its customers is not telling a huge part of its fan base.
