MetroOne

GamingChannel exactly phone 2 should be a priority tooo

TejasMaisuriya

@Rob ⚡️ u forgot to mention about wallpaper studio as in AI wallpaper thing

ZonexTurbo

Nothing isn’t concerned about their flagship Phone (2) 😒

c0dedigger

Phone (2a)? Seriously!?
How about Phone (2)???

[deleted]

Waiting for this on my Phone2 and please where is the option of extending ram on Nothing phone2? I see it’s available on 2a but not on the 2

simdll

I hope that NOS 2.5.3 arrives soon for Nothing phone 2, from the changelog it seems that they have solved many problems that were present on NOS 2.5.2 and introduces interesting features. I hope that this delay in the update is justified by a good bugfix…

PaulF

Hope it comes to phone 1 would like to experience some of the new features as well as squash the bugs present in 2.5.2

Guys. You’ve got 3 phones out - total. And the phone 2 is supposedly your flagship. And, instead of that one getting the OS, you roll it out first to your cheapest? Seriously?

Deividas_erniauskas

_es_nYmNl45Ncd since some of the updates are related to new device, like the bew glyph to work well, as well as we can call ot “day 1” updates, its more then understandable for this to be on 2a first.

None of these tech companies do these kind of community stuff and should appreciate these community update and not be an a hole about it, just because you bought a phone… how come you have skipped the appreciation part and went straight into being an entitled “how dare you not be thinking about me” person?

Mario M

Will this come to Phone 2? I’m waiting for that update, I would love to have the new battery and calendar widgets and I would like to try the wallpaper A.I. Is there any news on when this will arrive on the Phone 2?

pietrekke

this update will be on nothing Phone 1?

c0dedigger

Deividas_erniauskas I strongly disagree. We are not talking about releasing a “day one patch” that fixing some bugs in a new product. The point is that a number of new features are not primarily given to the flagship model. Yes, many manufacturers, when releasing a new flagship, prioritize installing a newer OS version on it, making some new cool features available only for new one. But doing so when releasing the cheapest phone in the line is at least strange and disappointing (IMHO)

Deividas_erniauskas exactly.. most of these people inside this forum is borderline annoying and yapping everyday. Imagine not fixing the problems of the Phone 2a that just got released and focusing on a stable phone(2) that is out there for a long time. Most of these people yapping don’t know anything about how a company runs and what to prioritise.

Phone 2 is functioning perfectly fine. Phone 2a is a new phone. Anybody with a brain in their head wouldn’t neglect the phone you just released. So updates went to phone 2a. So what ?… Did you lose 50% of your life just because new update went to a newly released phone. I’m a phone 2 owner.. I’m not frustrated just because newer update went to newly released phone. Have some patience in life goddamn it. As an Indian myself.. I myself can tell you that.. most of the people yapping here are Indians and it’s embarassing, cringe and annoying. Most of the people here are so goddamn jobless, one update dictates their entire life. HAVE SOME PATIENCE IN LIFE. YOU WON’T EXIST JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T GET AN UPDATE. THANK YOU. If you don’t like nothing phone 2 or whatever Nothing Phone you have.. go buy some other brand’s bloatware OS which promotes ads at your face 10 times a day. Nobody is stopping you from switching phones.

zongmaosu

May I ask when we phone2 can get such such an important version update?

dhruvmhatre

What about nothing Phone 2 update?

SenthilKumar_4AYsJnGdyl

I need update but without any bugs so take some time and give the perfect update for my nothing phone 2 @changename.

hexagonal707x womp womp

Tell that to Samsung or Pixel that either releases the update first on top end device or both at the same time even if the Flagship phone is years older than latest device.

Gun_Put

hexagonal707x That insulting remark about Indians is completely uncalled for.

Plz try to be courteous.

Nothingnew

hexagonal707x I have Phone 2, and I have no problem waiting for the update to reach it. As you rightly say, it’s still a good phone and the update will only enhance it. But I am a little peeved that no one from Nothing has come on here to explain what is happening and their position re the update schedule.

StanStan

Those who complains about phone (2) not getting the priority over phone (2a)…. You don’t deserve what Nothing have brought to you. It’s such a shame for Nothing to have you as a consumers nor fans.
