After updating my Nothing Phone (3) to Nothing OS 5.0, I’m experiencing several camera issues.
- Portrait mode freezes: It opens at 3× zoom by default, and switching between 1× and 3× causes the preview to freeze or fail to load, sometimes crashing the Camera app.
- Unusual camera sounds: I hear different or unusual mechanical/motor-like sounds when switching between camera modes and sometimes while using the camera.
- Other modes work fine: The freezing issue appears to occur only in Portrait mode; regular Photo mode works normally.
I’ve already tried clearing the Camera app’s cache and storage, restarting the phone, and checking for software updates, but the issue persists.
Has anyone else experienced these problems after the Nothing OS 5.0 update? Could the Nothing team confirm whether this is a known software issue and whether a fix is planned in an upcoming update?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
