Android 14 to bring new features to Nothing Phone (2)
Android 14 comes packed with several new features. Amongst these, there’s a redesigned customisation picker that will make it easier for users to personalise their wallpapers and home screens.
The introduction of Ultra HDR technology in Android 14 will bring support for HDR images. This will result in photos that showcase more vibrant colours, brighter highlights and deeper shadows.
Moreover, Android 14 will also enhance data sharing and device security. Users will receive prompts to set a more secure six-digit PIN which will also simplify the device unlocking procedure.
The latest software also includes additions such as Flash notifications, improved Accessibility settings, and multiple features designed to be inclusive for those with varying vision and hearing needs.
