AaronWhite_N3LrTKEj1S The update is not from February, it is from January, check your mobile.

lolifnotely🇮🇱

Anonymous1363 The update itself was released in February, but the company for some reason chose to use the January security update…

AaronWhite_N3LrTKEj1S

Anonymous1363 the January patch came out February 24th! Look at when this post was made….

Anonymous1363

That’s all fine but January and now April, how many more years will it take, then what is the point of buying a premium phone?Whereas in your phone nothing phone 3 a nothing phone one nothing phone 2 all have been given the update of March. You guys are giving too much priority to Nothing Phone 4a or 4a Pro, it seems as if you never bought Nothing Phone 3.

Anonymous1363 Nothing 4a Pro: launched with hype… then quietly vanished 😂

Update situation right now:

Launch day: “Big plans coming 🚀”

First update: “Here you go… more soon 👀”

After that: seen ✓✓… no reply

Monthly updates?

More like “whenever we remember” updates 😭

Fix updates be like:

User: “There’s a bug…”

Nothing: “Noted 👍”

…2 months later…

Still nothing. Literally. 😅

At this point, even OTA updates feel like rare events 🐼

real_mikhaiel u r right bro It seems they have forgotten that Nothing Phone 3 is also one of their products.

JP

real_mikhaiel 4a pro recieved update in the first month of release… which is before promised timeline…🤷🏻

And did you send feedback from your phone or via official channel?? Or just posted here and complaining??🫠

And this is not even a phone 4a pro discussion 🤷🏻

Anonymous1363 omg it’s on a 2 month update cycle like every other phone. It will get an update this month… do people not do any research before buying a phone

JP

AaronWhite_N3LrTKEj1S 😂no… nowadays people only know how to complain…

mupparapu_pramodkumar

Yeah we know

Awareness and criticism are different things. People complain because they expect better—not because they didn’t research. And it’s not just about security patches—we expect proper bug-fix updates too, not just timelines. I’ve seen your comments—you’re always positive, and that’s fine. But we can’t praise everything all the time. If the product has issues, people will call it out.

This is for everyone who is blindly defending.

JP

mupparapu_pramodkumar i know bro.. I’ve nothing against anyone facing issue…

How come nothing know about bugs if people don’t even tell them???

I’m never against any community members… it’s how some people join/come today and starts same discussions/posts …

Anonymous1363

mupparapu_pramodkumar You are absolutely right, I don’t know why people are sitting on this secretly. We have purchased premium devices at a premium price. No problem, finally I got the update today, check the update section of April 2026. But still this is not a good thing, after all an update has been given after 3 months. And this is not right from the security point of view, The nothing team will have to take this situation seriously going forward.

Calm down guys, there’s ‘nothing’ to worry about with the update, being expected this week.

However, I’m disappointed by how long certain issues have gone unaddressed like the green tint at low brightness and the color shifts around ~50% brightness are still happening.

There’s been no clear acknowledgement or timeline from the company across any channel, which feels like they aren’t owning these shortcomings and that’s what erodes trust.

I hope this week’s update fixes these problems rather than introducing new features.

Otherwise, it increasingly feels like money and hype buys trust and sadly, that already seems true.

real_mikhaiel

Bro , People are reporting , feedback isn’t the problem. Repeated posts just show the issue still exists.

I’ve owned every Nothing phone, so this isn’t random criticism. There’s a pattern where updates after new launches bring issues like heating on older models, and responses aren’t consistent. Happened with Phone (1), (2), and (3). It’s our money, so expectations are valid.

mupparapu_pramodkumar

JP People have already reported this—feedback isn’t the issue. The repeated posts simply indicate the problem still exists.The main concern is the lack of response from the team regarding a fix for this issue.

JP

mupparapu_pramodkumar update is live…
