Nothing OS 2.5 (Android 14) closed beta rolling out for Phone (2)

Nothing has silently started the Android 14-based Nothing OS 2.5 closed beta program for Phone (2) users. The internal testing activity is open for a limited number of testers for the moment. However, the company will gradually seed new beta builds for its devices in the upcoming days.
