Nothing’s (current) flagship was sort of forgotten – or, at least, that was the opinion its owners were expressing over at X/Twitter:
Have you guys forgotten that you have your flagship product in the name of nothing phone 2?
Why no updates yet, almost 3 months gone.— Babayaga Bhai (@babayaga1_9) March 26, 2024
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:
We need update in Camera Department, and there is battery draining and heating issue also

The changelog should be:
No ring-mode quick toggle
No camera improvements
No recorder widget
No camera widget
No battery-life improvements
No camera improvements
No haptic strength selector
No fix for the unstable third-party launcher support— (@ViciousSquidy) April 2, 2024
The update is a joke. No new widgets like the long-awaited Gallery app or the custom calling UI. In my opinion very sad. We want a good OS and no new products.
