After months of waiting, I finally installed Nothing OS 2.5.3. While all Nothing Phone 2 users were spamming about the update, I patiently waited for it. I had started to face heating issues with daily social media usage; the phone was getting hot, and the experience was so bad that sometimes I encountered a few frame drops, leaving me quite disappointed. However, after today’s 2.5.3 update, the heating issue seems to have settled, and it’s no longer overheating. Even though the Phone 2 only received a very basic update with the latest security patch, I believe it has somewhat addressed the heating issues, though this is just my first impression. I hope the next update will fix the camera and bring many more features to Phone 2 users. Having used MIUI and Color OS for the last two years, I am very fond of Nothing OS. Making it more stable with updates should be the priority for the Nothing team. 8 plus gen 1 is a great processor and I think we haven’t seen the full potential of it on phone 2. Future awaits??!
EDIT: Heating issues still persist, now whether they’re better or worse, I’m starting to notice a few throttle issues when pulling down the notification panel. Also touch response is weird sometimes. My post didn’t age well. I hope they prioritize optimizing the chipset and improving the user experience. By the way, I don’t want them pushing out half-baked updates; I just want to ensure we’ll have a better, smoother experience over time, especially with Phone 3 on the horizon. I hope they address the concerns of current users first, although Phone 2 didn’t sell well. Yet, we deserve equal treatment.
