Among the promises that accompany Nothing Phone (1), beyond the unique design, there is that of a software support made up of 3 years of major Android updates and 4 years of security patches. Only time will tell if the company will keep faith in this regard: in the meantime, however, a few days after the launch Nothing Phone (1) receives a update which not only introduces the July security patch but also some new experimental features, as well as improvements to camera performance.
TESLA, NFT AND IMPROVED CAMERA
But let’s proceed in order, and see all the news in detail. Starting with the special integration between Nothing OS and the app Tesla: by activating the feature, in fact, it will be possible interact with your car with some dedicated commands that will be accessible directly from the notification area. Still in the context of the experimental functions, the “NFT Gallery” widgetwhich as the name suggests shows a sequence of digital works of art registered on the blockchain.
As for the launcher, the search bar on the home screen now becomes optional under the pressure of the feedback collected by the community. And the camera? The improvements are varied: Nothing is about one greater sharpness for the shots taken with the ultrawide sensor and acolor optimization aimed at making the results of the two cameras more uniform, in addition to one noise reduction more efficient and one wider dynamic range in low light conditions. Moreover, it will be possible use the special rear LEDs of Nothing Phone (1) as additional flashes even in Portrait mode.

Of course, in addition to the security patch updated in July 2022, there are also improvements made to system stability and the resolution of some known bugs, such as one that caused the fingerprint icon to disappear from the lock screen. Finally, the reactivity of unlocking via facial recognition has been increased, and autonomy should also benefit from the update, especially in terms of energy expenditure when the smartphone is in standby.
