tl;dr from the article:

  • The Nothing Phone 1 is now getting the stable Android 14 update with Nothing OS 2.5.
  • The software will roll out in stages and come to open beta testers before stable Android 13 users.

I don't give them any excuses tbh. It shows that their os is pretty insecure.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for implementing security fixes quickly but the more time you have between upstream and downstream, the more time the attacker can attack.

Timely security updates and late major Android version upgrades aren't exclusive. I don't know whether Nothing phones receive monthly security updates, but many other big manufacturers don't either.

Insecure in what way?

In the fact it doesn't have a major Android upgrade and probably not routine security which includes numerous security and CVE fixes. A quick search says (unofficially) NothingOS promised updates once every two months but aren't even honoring that.

Or are you implying that Android 13 is at least as secure as Android 14 or that a two month old OS (which includes all those CVEs) is secure?
