It’s been over a month since Nothing Phone 2 with the release of Nothing OS 2 with exciting hardware and software updates. After last week’s approval, the Nothing OS 2 update for Nothing Phone (1) has begun to populate. The new OS update brings some pre-installed lock screen and home screen widgets and a few other toggle features as seen on this year’s flagship.
