    Nothing OS 2.5 Beta 1 lands on Phone, bringing Android 14 goodies and customization tweaks

    Get ready, Nothing Phone (1) users! It’s finally your turn to experience the latest Android has to offer on your devices with the arrival of Nothing OS 2.5 Beta. This update, powered by Android 14, promises a plethora of exciting new features and improvements that will enhance your smartphone experience.

    One of the key highlights of Nothing OS 2.5 is the revamped customization options. Users can now access a combined Home Screen and Lock Screen customization page, offering a comprehensive view of all available wallpaper and theme options.

    A new “Atmosphere” wallpaper effect breathes life into your background photos, transforming them into dynamic visuals that react to your phone’s movements. For those who prefer a minimalist look, solid color wallpapers are now available, and a monochrome color theme adds a touch of elegance.

    Additionally, Nothing OS 2.5 introduces a customizable double-press power button gesture, allowing you to quickly access your favorite feature with a simple tap. Lock Screen shortcuts have also been expanded, offering convenient one-tap access to Do Not Disturb, Mute, QR code scanner, and video camera. And for those who love screenshots, a new three-finger swipe gesture makes capturing the screen easier than ever. A dedicated screenshot editor and menu further enhance the experience, providing advanced editing tools and quick deletion options.

    There is also a new Pedometer Widget, which displays your progress directly on your home screen. Music lovers will appreciate the Media Player Widget, while the Screen Time Widget helps you monitor and manage your digital habits. Remember, to use these widgets, you’ll need to update your Nothing Launcher and Nothing Widgets apps to the latest versions.

    Nothing OS 2.5 goes beyond aesthetics, offering a range of under-the-hood improvements. A new Glyph animation greets you when using NFC, and the Flip to Glyph experience has been optimized for smoother transitions. The Weather app has been refreshed, with improved notification of weather alerts. Even small details like the back gesture arrow and volume control interface have been redesigned for a more consistent and user-friendly experience.

    If you’re a Phone (1) user eager to experience Nothing OS 2.5 and Android 14, note that the update process is not as straightforward as when done over-the-air (OTA). To update, you will first need to make sure you have the latest version of Nothing OS and then download and install the Beta APK that can be accessed from the Nothing Community site. Once installed, you will then need to head over to Settings > System, and select “Update to Beta version,” then “Check for new version” and follow the on-screen instructions.We always make sure to include a warning when it comes to installing Beta software, and this isn’t an exception, so here it goes: Remember, this is a Beta version, so there’s a small chance of encountering bugs or issues that might require a factory reset. It’s strongly recommended to back up all your data before installing the update. However, if issues should arise, Nothing has created a rollback package that can be used to return your phone to factory settings.

  • iPhone 14 Pro Max detailed schematics and camera specs leaked

    iPhone 14 Pro Max detailed schematics and camera specs leaked

    Leaker ShrimpApplePro, who tweets from the account @VNchocoTaco and was the first to leak iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max’s new front design, is now back with iPhone 14 Pro Max’s detailed schematics.

    The iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to have pill and hole cutouts instead of a notch and per today’s leak, the pill will have a width of 7.15mm and the pinhole will have a diameter of 5.59mm. Accompanying images suggest there will also be a gap between the pill and hole cutouts. For comparison’s sake, the notch on the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a width of 26.83mm.

    In addition to that, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will allegedly flaunt smaller 1.95mm bezels, compared to 13 Pro Max’s 2.42mm bezels, which would further increase the screen to body ratio.

    The phone itself is expected to have a height of 160.71mm, width of 78.53mm (with the side button), and depth of 12.16mm (including the camera bump). That increase in depth can be attributed to the camera bump, which has seemingly increased in thickness from 3.60mm to 4.18mm.

    The bump has seemingly been made thicker because of the new 48MP primary sensor that will replace the 12MP camera. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had earlier said that the camera would be 25 to 35 percent bigger than the 12MP camera and the height of its 7P lens could increase by 5 to 10 percent.

    According to a new leak from a Weibo account called Fishing 8, which doesn’t have an established track record, it will be a 1/1.3 inches sensor with smaller 1.22µm pixels. The iPhone 13 Pro Max comes with a smaller 1/1.65-inches main sensor with larger 1.9µm pixels. Apple will likely employ a technology called pixel binning to combine data from multiple pixels when needed, such as during the nighttime.

    Back to the leaked schematics, Apple last year shrunk the size of the notch by combining the flood illuminator and dot protector into a single unit and moving the earpiece speaker to the top bezel. This year, the company may reduce the height of the earpiece speaker from 1.52mm to 0.57mm.

    The iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to retain the 6.7-inches screen size of its predecessor and the iPhone 14 Pro will have a 6.1-inches screen. Both models will likely be powered by a new 4nm A16 Pro chip, which would presumably make them a lot faster than the best phones of today. The regular models aren’t expected to change too much. One thing worth mentioning though is that the iPhone 13 mini will be replaced by the 6.7-inches iPhone 14 Max.

    The iPhone 14 series will apparently be revealed in September.
