AbranNibas

I have updated my 3a pro to NOS 4.0, but I found some minor issues in app animation while scrolling there is a little glitch. Also, there is no lock screen blur while entering PIN, is this issues only for me or any of you guys are facing this.

Lout_Of_Order

AbranNibas The blur is only on the flagship models.
