The Phone 4a only had a update last month, on 8th July, so this is not two months. Nothing seems to prioritise the 4a and 4a Pro over the Phone 3, 3a series and 2a/2 and CMF.

Why???

This update is only a security update patch for August, not a feature one. The update last month was a feature update!

I don’t know why they can’t gave nothing OS 4.1 all features in older devices like nothing phone 2 …. nothing phone 3 and 2 or 3a series …. network signals and gallery ai options it’s already 5 months gone ……!!!! Very disappointing

SunilBhagat If Nothing actually introduced the ai eraser feature in the Gallery app for all Nothing devices with OS 4.1 or above, then there wouldn’t be a need for third party apps such as Google Photos (which I only keep for the ai eraser tool, else I would get rid of Google’s crap pre installed apps).

A lot of these features in the 4a series and Phone 4b are features that go unnoticed until 4a users show it off, then everyone notices how Nothing prioritises these devices over the most popular devices (3a/Pro, 2a and 2a Plus, CMF Phone ½ Pro) where the majority of the users are.
