Nothing Phone (1) gets Android 13: Here’s what’s new – Times of India

After months of beta testing, Nothing is now pushing out the Android update for the Phone (1).
The software update is based on Android 13 and brings the January 2023 security patch. As per Phone (1) users on Nothing’s Discord and Reddit channels, the Android 13 update is coming in the form of Nothing OS 1.5.2, but only for those who participated in the Open Beta program.
We expect the Android 13 update to come to all users in the coming weeks.
Android 13 update for Nothing Phone (1): What’s new and improved
The Android 13 update for the Phone (1) improves the app loading speed by up to 71 per cent, fingerprint unlock accuracy has also been improved by up to 71 per cent. As for the standby power consumption, users will experience an improvement of up to 50 per cent. The Android 13 update brings a “self-repair” feature that eliminates unused cache and expired system dumps, so the phone (1) works as if it is brand new.
Also, there are the usual bug fixes with increased system stability.
Based on Android 13, Nothing OS 1.5.2 incorporates improved Material You theming engine with a broader range of colours to complement the wallpaper. It also integrates several other Android 13 features, such as a photo picker, advanced media controls, notification management, and a new QR code scanner accessible via the notification panel.
The update offers several new customisation options, including a Glyph soundpack for different ringtones and notifications. More colour schemes and a set of minimalist wallpapers are now available through the wallpaper selector. Users can also choose icons that match their background colour for a more consistent home screen appearance, and lockscreen shortcuts for the camera, torch, device controls, and wallet can be customised.
The new Weather app of Nothing matches the design language of the company. Also, tapping the weather widget on the homescreen will now open the city in the app rather than opening a link.
The Android 13 update for the Phone (1) brings new media control with an album artwork display on full display, an improved volume settings panel, less distracting Game Mode light notifications, smoother display transition animations, and a refined camera app interface.
The Android 13 update for Phone (1) introduces new security and privacy features.
