Nothing is rolling out a new firmware update for the Android 13 Beta program. Beta 2 brings several recent changes and improvements over Beta 1, which was announced on December 15th. Nothing OS 1.5.1 brings new animations, a new weather app, better loading times, and several other improvements.
Must See:Â Nothing Phone (1) gets Nothing OS 1.1.6 with performance improvements and more
Previously, Beta 1 caused some financial apps to cease to work due to some issues with Google’s SafetyNet API. But, we hope the issue has been fixed with the second beta test. Below is the official changelog:
