Nothing lists all of the improvements it has made to the rear camera system of its first phone
Nothing sent out an email today about the company's first Android phone, the Nothing Phone (1). The missive discusses the dual 50MP rear camera powered by the Sony IMX766 sensor. According to Nothing, "Since it launched, we’ve been listening to you. And constantly perfecting the hardware and tuning. To boost our camera to its full potential."

Nothing notes that it has dropped four major software updates since July with NothingOS 1.1.4 being the last one dropped by the company. If you have yet to update your Nothing Phone (1), you can do so by going to Settings > System Update.

From NothingOS 1.1.1 to 1.1.4, the following changes have been made to the camera system on the Nothing Phone (1):

  • More natural skin tones when using the front camera.
  • Reduced shooting time for night mode images.
  • Outdoor scenes are even sharper with multi-frame HDR.
  • Optimized coloring of faces outdoors.
  • Clearer night shots with low-light HDR.
  • Consistent color quality between the two cameras.
  • More stable images with minimal blur, thanks to the new motion-detection algorithm.
  • Sharper, faster ultra-wide images when using HDR.
  • True-to-life night shots with better color accuracy.
  • Clearer, more naturally bright portraits shot on the front camera.

Nothing included some images snapped with the updated camera and also disseminated a pair of videos on YouTube that show the differences between photos taken on a unit of the phone running the original version of the operating system and one using the latest version of NothingOS. The Nothing Phone (1) is not available in the U.S. although it is possible that the next version of the device will be.
