Nothing OS 3.0 (based on Android 15) is expected to begin rolling out in September 2024. The update will introduce several new features, including revamped Quick Settings, enhanced lock screen customization options, and improvements to fingerprint unlock and gesture navigation.
Additionally, Android 15-specific features like app archiving and predictive back animations will be included. The update is likely to roll out in phases, though it’s not yet clear whether all Nothing smartphones will receive it simultaneously.
