Nothing OS 4.0 Beta – Need Clarification on Actual Improvements

Hi team, I’ve updated my phone to Nothing OS 4.0 Open Beta (Android 16) – around 3.19 GB – but after using it for a few days, I’m honestly not seeing much that feels new or exclusive to Nothing. Here’s what the changelog mentions and what I noticed: 🔸 From the changelog: Android 16 Beta base update Pop-up View with two floating icons Two new lock screen clock faces 2×2 Quick Settings tiles Extra Dark Mode (already existed on other Android 15 devices) App optimisation option (startup speed – doesn’t seem to change much in real use) New “Stretch” camera preset (very subtle effect) Essential Apps & Playground (AI + community sharing) — looks interesting, but not clearly functional yet. 🔸 Issues after update: Battery draining faster BGMI lagging and slower performance Camera quality – no visible improvement No major UI/feature refresh other than Control Center layout 🔸 Questions: 1\. Which of these features are Nothing-developed exclusives (not just Android 16 base)? 2\. Are the battery drain and performance lag known issues for this beta build? 3\. Any improvements planned for camera tuning in the stable release? 4\. Could we get a detailed changelog explaining what’s changed internally (kernel, optimization, etc.)? I think many users are expecting more visible refinements after such a large 3.19 GB update, especially in battery, gaming, and camera performance. Thanks for your hard work — just hoping for som e clarity and improvements before the stable rollout.
