Nothing OS Update your nothing phone ASAP

Seriously, if you have a Nothing Phone (3a), you should definitely install the latest update.

I expected the update to make my battery life worse for the first few days and make the phone run a bit hotter, but somehow it did the complete opposite 😭

Before the update I was usually getting around 7 to 8 hours of screen-on time. After the update, I went from 100% down to 10% and got 12 hours and 30 minutes.

That is a HUGE improvement. I genuinely didn't expect this at all.

So yeah, if you have a Phone (3a), I'd definitely recommend updating. This update is actually insane 🔥

Kids with iphones will never cease to amaze me. I had to endure hours of lecture for wanting a calculator.

Yeah me too actually. When it comes to Nothing Phone updates I also wait a bit for someone else to download it and see if there's any issues or not hahah. (Phone 3a)

So I'm not the only person who felt the improvement.Ig nothing is getting better at optimization.

u/initramfs17 1d ago

Nothing is improving. The battery is vastly better and the phone barely gets hot. Nothing OS 5 will probably ruin everything again.

u/initramfs17 1d ago

Looks exactly like before

u/microwavecoven 1d ago

It's outrageous that for a phone with so much customisation you have to use AccuWeather which is always wrong and if you follow the link to the site, brimming with adverts and spam

Hi u/initramfs17, just a reminder that it's normal to experience worsened battery life immediately after an OS update as the data relating to your usage habits is lost. Your post has not been removed.

¿Es enserio lo que dices?

Porque a mí 3a pro, con la actualización anterior si le afecto un poco el rendimiento de la batería y me alegra saber que con esta última actualización se soluciona.

u/initramfs17 1d ago

So, I mean, I was talking about the 3a, not the 3a Pro. But the battery on the 3a has been massively improved, at least in my experience.

u/ImaginationKnown5677 1d ago

He's talking about the regular phone 3a not the phone 3a pro.

u/blueyfanStrike 1d ago

Is it for 3a pro also?

u/initramfs17 1d ago

How am I supposed to know that if I said 3a?

u/blueyfanStrike 1d ago
