An update to Nothing OS 2.0 is rolling out to those who already have a Phone (2) with a handful of improvements and fixes. The update, which weighs in at around 3GB, primarily includes improvements to the camera.

Camera upgrades include 2x zoom while using portrait mode, a Nothing watermark, better HDR, better clarity between 4x and 10x zoom, improved camera quality in third-party apps, reduced shutter lag, better video stabilization, and motion capture while shooting at 50MP. The camera experience on Nothing Phone (2) was already quite good before this update, but improvements are always nice to see.

Hope Nothing will be around in 2027 too. I'm planning to buy a new phone when the user replacable phones will come back.

user replaceable phones

Can you explain?

They're probably alluding to the EU regulations that require user serviceable batteries in portable devices starting in 2027.

Yeah you got me there. I know that technically the battery can be replaced on modern phones too, but it can require specialized tool, and I'm really anxious about breaking the glass panel.
