@Jean I thought you know how to read what I have mentioned clearly No improvements for camera not about feature addition which does not justify about improvements. Better revisit your basics πŸ€”

Initial review of the update

1.The animations have gotten so much better.

2.The hdr toggle switch is finally here which helps a lot. Yet to test out night shots.

3.The new recorder widget and battery widget are really good.

4.I don’t know why ram booster is added. To me it feels like a gimmick

5.There was a problem with the music player widget in the previous update which did not show the album of the song playing. In this update it seems to have been resolved.

    GreyKJedi Yeah good point. What I really meant was if all these updates address the problems that so many people were whinging about it would be worth buying. It was just the amount of negative comments put me off.

      All of a sudden, fudders are nowhere to be found! Lol. I think everyone appreciates this update bringing cool new features, along with bug fixes for phone 2 users spamming for quite a while. I am excited to download this, waiting for feedback though. I was super confident to choose Nothing Phone series, but would like to see Gallery and a proper ecosystem app that can connect with Windows. Expecting to see this in the future. Thanks, Nothing.

      AmaanPatvegar Finaly an early review. If you could give us some Ultra XDR photos would be highly appreciated!

      PeterMash Updates on nothing are far more regular and cleaner than xiaomi. We are talking about 2 totally different things here. No community can help you on what YOU need.

      Firmware (bot) πŸ”‹ Introduced a new Battery widget to monitor power usage more efficiently.

      Can anyone share what new battery icon they released?

      AvishGumber Wow, the new TrueLens engine is really kicking the butt. well the first picture is more vibrant, and I think the majority will like it, but the second picture has more details and dynamic range, and the HDR processing has improved a lot. The sky hasn’t blown out like in the first picture, so I think the colors are truer in the second picture, even though the images look a bit dull, maybe due to the climate. The output is far better in pic 2. Well, I haven’t updated the software yet, but I’d love to try this out.

      hexagonal707x Thanks, and yah, it seems to trigger HDR.

      Tho the β€œissue” (by design on most phones) of device not triggering peak/HDR brightness in HDR content even with the HDR toggle on (actual bug) still there resulting in HDR not looking like as it should. So hopefully team can fix that in future.

      Imma go enjoy the update.

      I was hoping to hear a teaser about the Phone (3) this morning but I was so happy to get news of this update instead! New features, lots of fixes, and performance improvements - what more could we ask for? Phone (2) is super smooth and reliable for me on 2.5.3, I can’t wait to get this software now.

      AvishGumber the before 4:33 one is more bright n evrything is clearly seen in it so I prefer that

      Very good update! Glad to see camera improvements. Hope to see more camera features and fixes in the future updates! Great work!

      Awesome, I’m very happy to see Ring/Vibrate/Mute Mode option in Quick Settings. ChatGPT implementation is nice but it’s not working good as it should, hope it will get fixed soon. ✌️
