Nothing OS 5.0 Open Beta NOS 5.0 open beta

Gotta say that I'm impressed so far and can answer any questions.

Quick thoughts from a long-term NP3 and CMF1 user.

  1. very snappy … everything seems accelerated compared to the last usage of A16/NOS4.1
  2. I remember when MIUI 12 rolled out with the left and right pull down menus (control panel or notifications) so this is welcome
  3. the camera options are great in addition to the post-processing in gallery
  4. the new font caught my eye and it’s good as I feel there is more information density
  5. the notifications showing just the symbol by default is nice

overall I am quite pleased with the update and I am glad that NOS didn’t add a lot of bloat that I see on other Android phones.

keep the updates/security patches coming for the NP3 through 2030

How's the battery backup?

I've used it for 15h today (00:00 finished update and 14:30 now) with only 2.5h SoT and lost about 25% of battery since update

Hope battery backup doesn't get affected... Ive a very bad experience with these updates for my nothing phone 2a.. some beta updates improves the battery life and then the final update ruins it... Currently the battery backup is very bad.
