Nothing has released a fresh update, Nothing OS 2.5.3.A, for the Nothing Phone (1) to tackle recent bugs that have been bothering users.
The update targets various crucial issues, including resolving flickering problems when dealing with lock screen widgets, fixing failures in sending text messages under certain conditions, getting rid of fingerprint unlocking flickers on the Always On Display (AOD), and rectifying blurry thumbnails in the Media Player widget, particularly during Spotify playback.
Enhancements and Optimizations
This new update brings forth a Recorder widget for convenient audio recording, enhances widget and app-opening animations for smoother performance, and upgrades the lock screen and Always On Display (AOD) animations for a more seamless visual experience. Furthermore, it includes an updated security patch to enhance device security.
Rollout and Feedback
The deployment of this update will be gradual, so users may need to wait a while for the OTA notification to show up on their devices. If you miss the notification or wish to manually check for the update's availability, head to Settings > System > System update. For those looking to share their feedback on the update, simply go to Settings > System > Feedback.
