Nothing OS 5.0 phone 3a review.

Nothing OS 5.0 on my Phone (3a) is honestly WOW. 😭❤️ The phone feels smoother than ever. The control centre animations and transitions are EXTREMELY smooth and beautiful. That curtain effect when opening the control centre… oh my God, just WOW! The whole design, animations, and even the torch brightness/dimming effect feel so satisfying. The new font style, app opening/closing animations, and overall transitions are amazing. The phone literally feels like it’s GLIDING like a fluid. I’ve never experienced an Android phone feel this fluid after a major software update. Most companies talk about updates making phones slower, but Nothing is doing the complete opposite. 😂❤️ The new Dual Camera mode is also amazing — using the front and rear cameras together in video is such a cool addition. I’m genuinely SO HAPPY with Nothing OS 5.0. Just one big request: please bring even more of these beautiful glass/liquid-style effects and the Lucent/Liquid Glass effect to the stable update for Phone (3a). Please don’t leave 3a behind. 🥹 And please fix the Wi-Fi tile behaviour. Currently, tapping Wi-Fi from the control centre disconnects from the current network instead of actually turning Wi-Fi off. To completely turn it off, we have to expand the tile and do it manually. Please make it simple again: one tap = Wi-Fi OFF, one tap = Wi-Fi ON and reconnect. Apart from that — Nothing, you absolutely nailed this update. ❤️ Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

LjubomirZeli_ Ah, so it’s something else then, and likely random 😔 Let’s hope it’ll get fixed in less than two months (bimonthly update thing).

After the i have been noticing that my WhatsApp notification is glitching.

It is that when I am on chat page with my friend/ colleague the notification still shows up and when a person reply to me specifically in group chat the notification glitch again starts.

If you guys know any way to fix pls help .

Hi everyone! I managed to fix the issue by updating WhatsApp to version 2.26.43.76 and then clearing the app cache through the phone’s app settings.

Hello guys! I’m still using O.S. 4.0. Do you think that should i upgrade to 5.0? Thank you.

la_nostra_liberta Why wouldn’t you update (unless you plan to stay on 4.0, not even 4.1, for the rest of the phone’s update lifecycle)?

grepGander Sometimes ‘X.0’ versions have initial bugs…
