The Nothing Phone (3) is shaping up to be the most future-proof smartphone from the brand yet. This is the brand’s first ever “true flagship” model in terms of specs and design, and it seems that software support won’t disappoint either. So here’s what we know.
Nothing Phone (3) to receive 5 major Android OS updates
A typical Android smartphone gets 2 major Android OS updates and 3 years of security patches. But flagship devices typically offer at least 4 years of Android updates and longer security patches. There are some brands like Samsung, Apple, and Google that take things even further, and Nothing might be trying to improve its own software support game as well.
Akis Evangelidis, Nothing’s Co-founder, was responding to another X user over why the company decided to go with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. His explanation talked about how the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 has a better GPU, NPU, IPS, connectivity, and default software support. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 brings 4 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches, the Nothing Phone (3) with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 will offer 5 years of Android upgrades and 7 years of security updates.
In comparison, its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2), came with 3 years of Android updates. Akis tweets also adds that “Paired with all the optimisations we’ve made in Nothing OS, the result is next level. Super fast and smooooth”. Nothing is gearing up to launch the Phone (3) in the global market on 1st July 2025, so stick around for more.
