Firmware (bot) I thought we’ll be getting the new customisable lock screen feature in this update.

Firmware (bot) thank you for this update. But one more request we want is please make support 90fps for PUBG global/ BGMI.

Firmware (bot) Pls come up with a good camera update!! Zoomed photos are literally so bad. Post processing optimisation is not that good too in some cases. Our beloved phone 2 has all the hardwares required, but post processing photo doesn’t look good at all!! A Chinese phone of half the price, captures way better photos & zoomed photos. Pls pls come up with a good camera update & make phone 2 a camera beast.

Firmware (bot) I really like the fact that Nothing OS is finally getting features. Really amazing. It would be nice if you could add spatial audio support for all earphones and headphones instead of just CMF Buds Pro 2.

The list of changes in the update in phone 2 is showing different than the ones mentioned here.

Wow, this was fast! It has already hit my Phone (2), here in the UK. Installing now…

But I agree with Shubh - the list on the device was different to what is shown above. I was too hasty and didn’t grab a screenshot, however 🙃

Irfansheikh

Why isn’t swipable date widget working on my phone 2. Is there any setting we need to do after adding it. Share if same is the issue with you guys as well.

Ealesy101

Irfansheikh - You swipe the date when a new day begins. To mimic a real life calendar/date card on one’s desk.

What about the 90/120 fps support for gaming? When is it coming? This is not fair…. Even oneplus 11r with the same chipset has got 90 fps in games already why not in nothing phone 2 ? I’m asking why?

Delta

Does this update make passkeys work again? Or is it still broken?

In a few email they sent as a response to some of us they said a fix was ready to be deployed on the next patch

Nickman

I’m just curious who asked for game mode enhancements, may be I’m out of touch with an average user here. It occupies almost half list of pointless updates. Why isn’t the camera a priority, have you even looked at the image output of human subjects and the over processing. Smh

RAJDEEPSINGHBRAR

Nickman me also agree 💯 👍🏻 with you, most of them pointless updations

Pranshu

Nickman There are some people who actually do gaming and these are quite useful features so yeah it is a good thing👌

TejasMaisuriya

Nickman definitely agree bro….they should fixed camaera and battery instead of game things…very disappointed with nothing….nothing is nothing basically 😂

Keseven

Nickman I play games, and I’m not sure about other gamers. I pretty much can block notifications or decide what can notify me and what not, all through the Google’s built in “do not disturb” which Nothing already give options to auto ON during game. So you’re right, what we need here is.. camera improvement!! The zoom is so bad for this spec, like cheap phone.

Got the same update change Log

OlufemiOluyole

HPande75 me too I got the same thing

Battery level of cmf watch is not showing in phone 2 bluetooth tile as mentioned

KaranMori

Pranshu For Us gaming means performance. & That is still not up to the mark so it’s not at all a good update so far. They should work on stuff like camera too. Which is a big deal for every single user.

Hope they fix these issues soon.
