Nothing OS 2.5.2 rolling out bringing stable Android 14 to Phone (1)،

Following the release of Nothing OS 2.5.2 for phone (2), Nothing now pushes the same version on the original phone (1). This update adds a few new widgets, a new dynamic wallpaper, a monochrome color palette, a new tile for changing ring modes, customizable gestures, improved call quality and stability, and some tweaks user interface and performance, among others.

This rollout will first reach devices running Nothing OS 2.5 Open Beta 2 (on Android 14), followed by those running the stable version of Android 13. This means that, if your system is stable, this update will basically update your device from Android 13 has Android 14. This effectively puts both Phone(1) and Phone(2), as well as beta and non-beta users, on the same footing when it comes to which version of Android they're using.

The 69MB update should be rolling out over-the-air (OTA) to your Phone device soon (1). However, as is often the case with firmware updates, distribution is done in stages, so not everyone will receive the update at the same time. If you don't see the update available right now, it may not have arrived on your device yet, but it should arrive soon. This is done to keep an eye out for any potential bugs.
