Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, to roll out before September-end
Nothing has confirmed that the next version of its custom Android skin, Nothing OS 4.0, will be released before the end of September. The update will be based on Android 16.
Google’s early release of Android 16 this year has disrupted the usual update cycle, leaving many Android manufacturers adjusting their timelines. While Nothing is not typically among the first to deliver major Android updates, the company has now confirmed that users can expect Nothing OS 4.0 to roll out during the third quarter of the year.
This announcement comes alongside the unveiling of the Nothing Phone (3), which is expected to be the first device to receive the Android 16-based OS. Although the statement is primarily seen as a reference to the new Phone (3), it is likely that previous Nothing Phone models will also receive the update shortly afterwards. However, no specific rollout schedule has been confirmed for older devices.
Compared to its earlier updates, this planned release marks an improvement in speed. Details on the features of Nothing OS 4.0 have not been revealed yet. Users will have to wait for more information from the company in the coming weeks.
Nothing on Tuesday unveiled its highly anticipated “true flagship” smartphone—the Nothing Phone (3)—alongside its first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone (1). The Phone (3) is priced at ₹79,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, while the 16GB RAM + 512GB model costs ₹89,999. The Nothing Headphone (1) carries a price tag of ₹21,999.
