Nothing OS 5.0 is a pretty significant upgrade for Nothing smartphones in recent years. Besides Android 17’s core features, this major upgrade packs a bunch of really useful features, new widgets, and a redesigned Control Center. It brings a more capable AI experience that also allows users to build custom apps and a dedicated Glyph app for easier customization.
The brand has already announced which devices will be upgraded to Nothing OS 5.0, and when. However, that’s a vague timeline without exact rollout dates. So, we’ve created a dedicated section on this page that tracks the rollout progress. If you have yet to receive the update on your Nothing phone, this tracker is only what you need.
Nothing OS 5.0 eligible devices and rollout schedule

| Phone (4a) | Late September | Early November |

Three phones are not eligible for the update: Nothing Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2), and CMF Phone 1. They have already received the number of OS upgrades promised by the brand, and so won’t receive Android 17 and future upgrades.
As planned, the Nothing Phone (3) received the Nothing OS 5.0 Open Beta in August, followed by other eligible devices. As of writing this post, most devices have received the open beta builds.
The brand has also started rolling out the stable update, with the Nothing Phone (3) being the first recipient. It should gradually expand to the rest of the eligible devices as per the schedule. Review the progress tracker below to learn more about the rollout.
