@Carl

I haven’t received this update yet. But I saw the features they mentioned, why is the blur effect on the lock screen not given to the 2a and 2a Plus models?You are giving this feature only to the Nothing Phone 2 model.Nothing OS 4.0 is already the worst update and no features. Won’t you even provide this feature? My question is why are these feature only available for the Phone 2 in the 2 series?
