The Nothing Phone (2a) recently made its entry into the Indian and international markets earlier this month. It is the brand's first foray into the mid-range smartphone sector. This launch is particularly significant as it introduces the first Nothing device powered by a MediaTek Dimensity System on Chip (SoC).
Following its debut, Nothing has now initiated the rollout of a new software update, NothingOS 2.5.4. It is aimed specifically at enhancing the device's performance and user experience. With a modest size of 25MB, the update targets several key areas for improvement. Let us check them out in detail.
The update prioritizes advancements in the camera's functionality.
