Key Features and Upgrades
- Refined Design: The new OS will feature a refreshed UI with redesigned icons and a cleaner visual style, maintaining Nothing’s signature aesthetic.
- AI Integration: The update is expected to include more AI features, specifically for the Gallery app, which will offer smarter photo organization and editing tools.
- Camera Improvements: Nothing is rumored to have improved its camera app with this update to reduce shutter lag and enhance image quality.
- Glyph Interface: New Glyph features are expected, including dynamic ringtones and improved Caller ID integration.
The new OS is built on Android 16, so it will inherit key features from Google’s latest platform. This includes smarter notifications with live updates and enhanced security protections to better safeguard user data.
Update Schedule and Device Support
Phone (1) has reached the end of its software lifecycle and will not receive Nothing OS 4.0. We fulfilled our promise of 3 years of software updates, with another year of security updates ahead. To thank our day-one users, we’re working on a program for you. @nothing how soon can… https://t.co/IEoLPId6tL

The rollout is planned for this autumn, with a beta program already underway for the Nothing Phone (3). The Nothing Phone (2) is also confirmed to receive the update. However, the original Nothing Phone (1) will not get Nothing OS 4.0, as it has reached the end of its three-year software update cycle. To thank its loyal users, Nothing’s CEO has announced a special “program” for Phone (1) owners, though details are still unconfirmed.
