- The OS 1.5.3 patch has not yet started rolling out to Phone (1) owners.

None have started rolling out their first software update since the massive Android 13-based 1.5 OS.company murmured With the arrival of the update and the patch notes posted on Reddit, there are some perks users can expect.
While not huge, Nothing Phone (1) owners can expect 91.79 MB of patches to be applied to their phones over the course of a week. This Nothing OS 1.5.3 update includes support for his Phone (1) for the upcoming Ear (2) wireless buds, so it looks to the near future.
Nearly two weeks ago, we learned that Nothing was preparing to launch its next earbud, the Ear (2), on March 22nd at 10am ET. But just yesterday, a new leak about the next bud spilled just about everything about the product. It’s especially light weight, which may improve battery life.
This patch also improves system stability and introduces new memory management algorithms. No mention is made that this new management method will reduce app launch times by about 35%, reduce CPU strain, and effectively extend the battery life of phones (1).
Users can also find smoother animations for popup views, improved fingerprint transitions from lock screen to AOD, and new wallpapers.
In addition to some unnamed bug fixes, the latest Nothing OS patch includes a fix for the device’s back lighting known as Glyph. The new fix should resolve the issue of the lights not appearing every time you receive a call from WhatsApp.
It’s also worth mentioning that Redditors on the Nothing Tech subreddit have started reporting issues with this 1.5.3 OS patch.
This latest patch is based on Nothing’s massive 1.5 OS update that brought Android 13 to all phone(1) owners. But the excitement around the London-based company doesn’t stop there, as the company details plans to bring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Nothing Phone (2) to the US as well.
Break the rules and secure the Nothing Phone (1). The London-based company’s phone (1) hides nothing with a transparent lining and eye-catching glyph lighting that reacts to the phone’s movements. Rounding out the package is Nothing OS, our own interpretation of Android software.
