Although not specified in the release notes published via a Nothing Community blog post, some of the users that proceeded with installing the update noted their findings. Previously, the Glyph remained dimly lit even during softer passages of music, whereas after the hotfix the LEDs now completely switch off during quieter moments, amplifying their impact. This effectively transforms the Glyph into a synchronized strobe light, adding a vibrant pulse to the music. Early reports from users also suggest increased LED brightness, further intensifying the visual effect.

Beyond the eye-catching aesthetics, the update addresses a practical concern. A bug related to the App Locker, occasionally causing phone freezes, has been resolved. This stability improvement ensures smoother operations, allowing users to enjoy the enhanced Glyph experience without disruption.
While Nothing OS 2.5.1a may not be a sweeping update, it delivers significant value for Phone (2) owners who appreciate its distinctive character. The optimized music synchronization elevates the Glyph from a novelty to a pocket-sized light show. With rumors of the Phone (2a) potentially retaining some LED features, it’s clear that Nothing is committed to pushing the boundaries of smartphone aesthetics and user experience.
