Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsTabletNothing Phone (2) OS Updates Stop at Android 16
Nothing announced that the Phone (2) will receive a similar software update support as the original Phone (1) — by having up to three years of Android OS updates and four years of security updates. The next transparent phone is planned to be unveiled in July.
A longer software policy has become a vital feature that users look for before buying their next smartphone. Samsung is among those names that offer the longest Android software support with up to four years of major Android updates and five years of security patches. This even trumps Google and its 3-year software updates for the Pixel lineup.
In a tweet, the UK-based startup helmed by former OnePlus CEO, Carl Pei, confirmed that the Nothing Phone (2) will receive three years of software updates as well as security updates until 2027. In other words, the Phone (2) will most likely receive upgrades starting from Android 14 all the way to Android 16, given it is expected to run on Android 13 OS out of the box once it is launched next month.
While this is not on par with what Samsung offers for its Galaxy phones, it would still place the Nothing Phone (2) on par with most Chinese OEMs. For instance, Xiaomi only started pledging the same software policy with the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Ultra (review) that run on MIUI 14 currently, which is still better compared to Asus and Motorola.
In addition to software updates, the Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC while its memory configuration may also see an increase from 8/128 GB to 12/256 GB. At the same time, the premium mid-range will receive an upgraded battery capacity over the Phone (1) as Pei mentioned.
