Nothing Phone 1 finally gets stable Android 13 NothingOS 1.5.2

In December, Nothing released the first Nothing OS 1.5 Open Beta build for the Nothing Phone 1, allowing customers to test out Android 13 before the stable launch. The business has begun distributing the first stable build of the Nothing OS 1.5 branch for the smartphone after a brief testing phase. Nothing Phone 1 finally gets stable Android 13 NothingOS 1.5.2.

According to numerous user reports on Nothing’s official Discord channel and Reddit, Nothing OS 1.5.2—the stable Android 13 update—is now available for the Nothing Phone 1. This is a comparatively small update, only 157MB in size when upgrading from the most recent public beta. Moreover, the release includes the January 2023 Android security updates.

The following list summarises each significant adjustment made in the stable Nothing OS 1.5.2 release for the Nothing Phone 1:
