The Nothing Phone (2) crowd is mad once again (it's the flagship's recent update)

Last week, Nothing released an update for their mid-range budget-friendly star: the Nothing Phone (2a). While it brought enhanced overall camera performance, improved Portrait Mode, enhanced camera saturation and tone, it got the Nothing Phone (2) owners mad.

Nothing's (current) flagship was sort of forgotten – or, at least, that was the opinion its owners were expressing over at X/Twitter:


Nothing had forgotten nothing, apparently, and yesterday they rolled out Nothing OS 2.5.3 for Phone (2) with new customization options and April patch.

It adds the option to apply Nothing Icon Pack solely to the home screen, for better accessibility in the App Drawer. Also, the icon organization on the Home Screen has been improved by enabling users to scroll through pages while holding app icons.

What's more, on the "Improvements" front, there are goodies like:

• Resolved a connectivity issue with car Bluetooth media players.
• Optimized animations in certain scenarios for smoother transitions.
• Updated Android Security Patch to April 2024.
• Improved system stability to enhance overall performance.

And this got the Phone (2) owners mad… once again.

Numerous comments all state the same – people want a fix for a battery drain issue they've been experiencing, a camera performance update is needed and something to tackle a heat issue as well:
