Nothing is showcasing its Android 16 update, Nothing OS 4.0, as well as its new features and designs, ahead of its open beta launch that is “coming soon.”
Earlier this year, the Phone (3) and Nothing OS 4.0 were announced, although the design hasn’t been revealed yet. However, nothing explains the new features of its Android 16 version in a recent post and video.
The primary visual upgrade of Nothing OS 4.0 is a “sharper, more deliberate design across every layer.” Specifically mentions an improved Quick Settings panel, new lock screen clocks, and other changes across Nothing’s apps.
In contrast to Android’s usual dark grey theme, there is a new “Extra Dark” theme that is completely black.
The floating app icons improve multitasking, yet nothing indicates that the camera or overall performance would be improved—the latter due to the “TrueLens Engine.
Lastly, a brand-new AI dashboard that analyzes your usage of Nothing’s AI capabilities has been introduced. In particular, it deconstructs the AI models that Nothing’s AI features—such as Whisper, GPT-4o, and Gemini Flash—use.
The release date for OS 4.0 is not specified, but it is stated that it will happen “soon.” According to Nothing’s existing support promises, the update will eventually reach Phone (2), Phone (2a), Phone (3a), and CMF phones, though it is likely to begin on Phone (3).
