The Nothing Phone 1's camera configuration looks to gain the most from the recent Nothing OS upgrade. The Nothing Phone 1 will now allow users to put a watermark to their images, similar to the recent Xiaomi, Realme, and Poco smartphones. The update improves the colour calibration of the ultra-wide camera while also enhancing colour consistency across the main and ultra-wide sensors. It also has a new motion detection system that provides improved stabilisation while recording moving subjects. Nothing has also enhanced the shooting speed of the ultra-wide camera in HDR mode, according to the changelog.
The business has merged the newest features from the Nothing Ear 1 app into Nothing OS with the release of Nothing OS 1.1.4. Users will be able to change noise cancellation options and tweak gesture controls directly from the fast settings panel and settings section. The update increases phone navigation accessibility by providing the ability to rotate the three-button navigation bar. It also has LHDC audio codec support.
The September 2022 Android security fixes are included in the update, according to Nothing's changelog. It also optimises the Always On Display function to extend the handset's battery life. According to the changelog, it includes a redesigned UI for system updates, enhanced thermal efficiency, and an improved face unlock algorithm.
Aside from standard bug improvements, Nothing OS version 1.1.4 resolves network difficulties with specific carriers. It also resolves an issue where incoming calls were presented as originating from an unknown person and a fingerprint issue with the HDFC Bank app.
