The new firmware is called Nothing OS 2.5.4.a and it also comes with a few bug fixes in addition to some general improvements.

The Phone 2a’s camera also gets significant improvements, including improvements to Portrait mode and enhancements to camera saturation and hue. There’s no sign of an overall improvement in camera performance after the new update.
Additionally, Nothing is not optimized for certain charging adapters that are compatible with the Phone 2a. Connectivity improvements brought by the update include enhanced stability and compatibility of Bluetooth connections.
Phone 2a users should definitely navigate to their device’s Settings > System > System Updates.
This week’s latest release is a significant expansion of the larger version No OS 2.5.4 update, released a week ago. The update includes improvements to color accuracy and saturation, as well as color consistency optimizations between the Phone 2a’s main and ultra-wide cameras.
The update also brings performance improvements to games, including popular titles like BGMI. In addition, it fixes a large number of bugs in the application and interface, and optimizes the overall stability of Phone 2a.
The Nothing Phone 2a launched in early March and is proving to be a great budget option among the current crop of budget Android phones on the market. It received its first update shortly after launch, introducing new widgets, cameras, and performance improvements.
It’s encouraging to see that nothing has been updated in a timely manner since the Phone 2a’s launch (the device has received three updates), which is notable for a budget Android smartphone at this price point.
