Nothing has officially teased the arrival of its next major OS upgrade, Nothing OS 4.0. The new software is based on Android 16 and promises to bring major changes to Nothing phones. While the brand hasn’t announced a release date, it says the new OS is “coming soon.”
The arrival of Nothing OS 4.0 was teased in a post on X, which also states that this upgrade is “Refined” and “Redefined.” This could mean improvements across the system and several major upgrades.
The London-based brand first teased Nothing OS 4.0 during the launch of Nothing Phone (3), the company’s first true flagship smartphone, in early July. Later that month, the brand released Nothing OS 4.0 closed beta to a limited number of Nothing Phone (3) users. Unfortunately, it didn’t expand to other Nothing smartphones. It appears they will receive the stable build directly.
With the stable release drawing near, you may be wondering if your Nothing phone is eligible for this major upgrade. So, here’s the confirmed list:
- Nothing Phone (3)
- Nothing Phone (3a)
- Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
- Nothing Phone (2)
- Nothing Phone (2a)
- Nothing Phone (2a) Plus
- CMF Phone 1
- CMF Phone 2 Pro
Nothing’s first phone, Phone (1), is missing from the list as it has already received three OS updates promised by the brand. Carl Pei, CEO of the company, also confirmed this recently in a post on X.
He also revealed that the brand is working on a program for Nothing Phone (1) users without revealing any details about it. Perhaps this will be a smartphone upgrade program, allowing Phone (1) users to upgrade to a newer model at some discount.
The Nothing Phone (3), being the most recent and the company’s first flagship phone, will be the first to receive a stable Nothing OS 4.0 update. The rollout should gradually cover the remaining eligible devices. Since Nothing doesn’t have an extensive portfolio of smartphones, the rollout shouldn’t take long to complete once it kicks off.
