Nothing Company has started rolling out Nothing OS 2.5.3 OTA update for Nothing Phone (1). This update brings new features and improvements to improve the user experience. It’s designed to make the interface more intuitive and enjoyable, with additions like the new recorder widget and smooth transitions courtesy of optimized animations.
You can recognize this update by its software version, Nothing OS 2.5.3 and the size of the update is 107 MB. Installation will take about 10 minutes.
One of the highlights of this update is the introduction of the Recorder widget, a tool that provides convenience for users who frequently record audio. Additionally, the update brings more intuitive app-opening animations and improved widget responsiveness, ensuring a seamless experience for users navigating through their phones.
This update also brings the February 2024 security patch for Nothing Phone (1), which will protect the device from threats present on the internet.
Additionally, the update addresses some persistent issues, such as a flickering issue when editing or viewing lock screen widgets and failure to send text messages under certain conditions.
For those who appreciate aesthetics, the update doesn’t disappoint. Advanced lock screen animation effects and a sophisticated clock animation on the Always On Display (AOD) interface contribute to a seamless and engaging user experience.
However, it is important to note that the firmware rollout is sequential. This means that the update will not be available to all users at once. This strategy allows monitoring of any emerging issues and ensures a stable deployment for everyone.
