    This came out of nowhere! 🔥

    Nice to see more feature parity coming across all devices and to see more bugs squashed! 👊🏼

    Time to get the Phone (1) updated now 👀

    I think nothing need to add adaptive refresh rate for phone (1) as in the technical details on the home page

    Camera updates when? Its not even funny anymore.

    After updating my Nothing Phone 1 to 2.5.6 Spotify (latest) automatically stops even though the forward bar is moving ;(

    I’ve tried everything - cleared cash, data, reinstalled, unrestricted app battery usage etc

    I’ve tried on another two android devices and Spotify plays perfectly fine

    any suggestions please? thanks, greg

      Hope the battery life is improved.

      Updated and already enjoying having a hidden navigation bar! Time to test out the other features!

      After updating, I’ve noticed the haptic feedback is significantly stronger. It would be great to have a setting to adjust the intensity to our preference. This feature could improve user comfort and potentially save battery life.

      PLEASE CHECK THESE ISSUES WITH THE LATEST UPDATE

      1. I haven’t been able to find the date widget on the widget drawer in the latest update..went to the Play Store to update the widget app, but there wasn’t any update.
      2. No long press feature on widgets that show shortcuts.

      The update has been very inconsistent. I am from India. Please check and release a patch.
