Following last week's update that brought bug fixes and camera optimizations, the Nothing Phone 2a is receiving another software update, this time honing in specifically on the camera. The Nothing OS 2.5.4.a update enhances the smartphone's camera performance in several ways. It improves the overall colour accuracy and photo saturation, along with better results in Portrait Mode.

Additionally, the update optimizes compatibility with certain power adapters and addresses a few bugs that were previously identified. To check for the update, navigate to Settings > System > System Update on your Nothing Phone 2a.

CASETiFY and Nothing

Nothing, the British electronics brand known for its minimalist design, has partnered with CASETiFY for a new line of smartphone cases. But it isn't for its phones.

It carries that transparent back design distinctive for its devices, but they've made the phone cases for Apple devices. It's available in black or white, with either the "Nothing" logo or white lines highlighting the wireless charger. If you want to confuse people, here's a case to get.

The collection also includes a Nothing Mini Pouch for the Ear (2), Nothing’s wireless earbuds. The pouch has a utility lanyard that makes it easy to carry and access your earbuds and their case. The Nothing x CASETiFY collaboration is available on CASETiFY's website, with pricing starting at US$70 (around CA$97).
