Nothing OS 2.5.1 Closed Beta Update is out for Selected Phone (1) Users
Nothing company has finally released the Nothing OS 2.5.1 closed beta update for selected Phone (1) users. These users can now experience the new update, which is based on Android 14. This update brings lots of new UI improvements, changes, and new features to the device.
Nothing Phone (1) Android 14 Beta Update
In the leaked screenshot, we could see the software update name as “Nothing OS 2.5.1 BETA1.” It’s the first closed beta of the Nothing OS 2.5 update for Nothing Phone (1). The update size is 1.22 GB which will take 10-15 minutes for the installation.
Firstly, the screenshots were leaked by some closed beta testers but even the file has been leaked for the update. It is an incremental update, so no data will be wiped. Though it is better to take precautions, you must backup your phone before installing such a file. Also, we don’t recommend installing any CBT files on your device.
We can expect the Nothing OS 2.5 Open Beta update for Phone (1) end of this month, and a stable update might be coming next year in January or February, but there is no confirmation regarding this; we are just assuming the timeline for this update.

According to these changelogs, we could see some features, improvements, and changes adapted from the Nothing OS 2.5 Open Beta 2 update for Phone (2). There are some changelogs mentioned about the Glyph progress feature which was made for the Phone (2).
But for sure, this feature won’t work on Phone (1) because it does not have progress bar hardware on the back of the phone apart from the charging indicator which shows the status of the battery percentage. There is a charging indicator LED light where this feature could be implemented, but for now but we have confirmation that this feature is missing in the settings from a user who has installed Nothing OS 2.5.1 CBT1 on his device.
