As part of the update, the camera gets the most improvements. Nothing says that the camera improvements include the ability to use the Glyph lights as a fill light while using Portrait Mode. The camera will also see improved noise reduction and dynamic range in lower light conditions, improved clarity with the ultrawide camera, and consistent colors between the main and ultra-wide cameras.

Nothing Phone (1) will also get a new Tesla control feature, the ability to display your NFTs as widgets on the homescreen, and also the ability to remove the Google Search bar from the homescreen.
