Nothing has been busy fixing bugs and polishing the user experience of its recently launched Phone (2a). However, the brand has not forgotten about its Phone (2) users. The brand started rolling out the Nothing OS 2.5.3 update for the device which comes with the latest Android security patch, some performance changes, and a new icon pack setting.

Nothing OS 2.5.3

Nothing OS 2.5.3 Changelog:

What’s new

  • Added an option for the Nothing Icon Pack to be applied only to the Home Screen to improve accessibility in the App Drawer.
  • You can now scroll through pages on the Home Screen while holding app icons for a more intuitive experience while organizing icons.

Improvements

  • Fixed an issue with car Bluetooth media players.
  • Optimized animations in certain scenarios for smoother transitions.
  • Updated Android Security patch version to April 2024.
  • Resolved system stability issues to enhance overall performance.


The update, coming in at 64.58 MB, is set for a global rollout soon. However, it seems the community isn’t too thrilled about it. While the previous update in late January fixed some issues, it left users wanting more, especially in terms of camera quality and overall polish. Unfortunately, despite the anticipation, this new update doesn’t seem to address the camera quality and HDR control issues. Among the top requests in the comments were features like a ring mode tile and a recorder widget, both of which have already been added to the Nothing Phone (2a). For now, users can only hope for another update that addresses these concerns.
