Nothing Phone 1 update changelog
Feedback feature is the key highlight of Nothing OS 1.5.4. This would allow users to report any issues or give suggestions to the developers by heading to Settings > System > Feedback. The update brings system improvements including reduced power consumption by optimising the 4G / 5G network switching function. The Bluetooth function in Quick Settings and fingerprint unlocking has also been optimised.
The new build allows users to scan UPI QR codes directly through the camera app and choose a payment app on their device to complete the transaction in select regions. Nothing has also integrated Google Safety Center alongside adding improvements to the pop-up view animations.
Apart from the general bug fixes, Nothing OS 1.5.4 offers fixes for the freeze issues during the Pop-up view and error messages while face unlocking. It also adds improvements to the notification display in Quick Settings and time-stamp accuracy for photos. Further, the firmware fixes delay in incoming call notifications.
Users can update their Nothing Phone 1 smartphone while they are connected to a strong Wi-Fi and are put on charging. The rollout will take place in a staged manner and reach all eligible smartphones automatically over the air. Still, keen users can also manually check for the update by heading to Settings > System > System Update.
