Nothing to enable support for Reliance Jio True 5G on Phone (1) via update

The Nothing OS 1.1.5 version update is rolling out in phases, and it will be available on Nothing Phone (1) before October 24

UK-based consumer technology start-up Nothing on Friday announced that it has started rolling out the Nothing OS 1.1.5 software update for its Nothing Phone (1). The update will enable 5G support for Reliance Jio True 5G. Nothing said, the update is rolled out in phases and will be concluded before October 24.

With the update, Nothing Phone (1) would be among the first smartphones to work with Reliance Jio’s standalone 5G network. It will put Nothing ahead of other smartphone brands such as Apple, OPPO, and Samsung because smartphones from these are still in the pipeline to receive the software update. Important to note, Nothing Phone (1) already supports Airtel 5G Plus, which is based on non-standalone infrastructure. Below are the steps to download and update the Nothing Phone (1):

Step 1: Go to Settings

Step 2: Click on About Phone, then on Software Info

Step 3: Inside Software Info, click on System update

Step 4: If the update is available for your smartphone, click on Download and Install
