### It's official - Nothing OS 3.0 is coming in December. In the meantime, Yuri, the Software Product Design Lead at Nothing will be answering some of your questions about our latest major OS update. ![](https://s3-nothing-prod.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2024-10-01/1727795872-130822-grey-textured-background-keep-moving-forward-motivational-quote-desktop-wallpaper-13.png "banner") In case you missed it, last week, [Carl sat with Yuri in a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV3Ch2lEr9Q) to take us through a first look of Nothing OS 3.0. In the video, Yuri introduced a sleek, redesigned user interface with refined typography, enhanced dot matrix animations, and newly customisable lock screens. Quick Settings have been revamped, offering better usability, and integrating an AI-powered Smart Drawer for app organisation. ![](https://s3-nothing-prod.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2024-10-01/1727795872-886525-grey-textured-background-keep-moving-forward-motivational-quote-desktop-wallpaper-12.png "banner") ![](https://s3-nothing-prod.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2024-10-01/1727795870-815202-grey-textured-background-keep-moving-forward-motivational-quote-desktop-wallpaper-10.png "banner") A new Countdown Widget was showcased, and the long-awaited Nothing Gallery app improves photo processing speed, while AI tools like image segmentation and future AI upscaling elevate the photo experience. Shared widgets allow users to connect with friends and family, adding a social layer to the OS. The open beta will begin rolling out this month, aiming for a full release in December this year. ![](https://s3-nothing-prod.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2024-10-01/1727795873-310552-grey-textured-background-keep-moving-forward-motivational-quote-desktop-wallpaper-11.png "banner") Now that you've had a first look at Nothing OS 3.0, we thought you might want to ask Yuri some questions… > The Nothing Community Team will be filming a video with Yuri next week, to answer some of your questions about Nothing OS 3.0. So - what would you like to know? > > We invite you to ask any and all questions about Nothing OS 3.0! > > Whether it's about changing the Ndot font, new apps or widgets, or even colour schemes, the floor is yours. What questions do you have for Yuri? Let us know in the comments below. We'll cutoff questions on 5th October at 3pm BST ahead of our shoot, so be quick! ⬇️

Can we expect smoother app opening and closing animations?

AndreaFanelli

Have you considered having distinct spaces for different purposes in Nothing OS 3.0?

I attach concept of Nothing Spaces made some time ago

It was announced that Nothing OS 3.0 will come with a gallery app. It would be better if this came as an app published on the Google Play Store instead of bloatware. This would better reflect Nothing’s ‘no bloatware’ slogan

nano_w4t6TucBYe

sheldon. that’s not bloatware.

Anonymous297

sheldon. how is that a bloatware?

ArchismanTripathi

ShabdSrivastava it will be better if we can switch those fonts whenever we want

VishnuPrasadV

Please change the colour of active tiles in quick settings from white to something contrast in light mode. It’s hard to notice which are active in bright sunlight.

please give us option to switch to the ndot font on the lock screen clock and other ui elements where it used to be present

the new serif font and all the cuztomization options look good but please dont get rid of the ndot font its literally what makes nothing nothing

amn

Vaishnavgnair ndot clock style option +1

How is the Nothing Team planning to maintain storage efficiency? With the present version of OS running on Android 14, system files consume around 55 GB of space. With the introduction of Nothing OS 3.0, this space consumption might get increased. For a phone with 128 GB of internal storage how is the team planning to maintain storage efficiency?

How did you come up with the name ‘Nothing OS 3.0’?

GamerKhush

Does Nothing OS 3.0 comes with a Gallery app

Natalie ✨

Have there be any discussion on being able to download and use other typographies?

Such as what we have currently, so we can keep the dots, or switch to the new one for 3.0. I hate to see the dots be used less.

Apostolosgl

Natalie ✨ Will There be either a charge limiter or wattage limiter or even a redesigned battery page?

9nine

Are there any improvements to the AOD? Will the clock style on the AOD be synchronized with the clock style on the customizable lock screen? What do you think about the feature to display information about the currently playing media on the AOD?

Ashu

Natalie ✨

Any new Ringtones are added in os 3.0?

Sp@RXz

Any new updates on the keyboard? A nothing/dot matrix style font and maybe a portrait keyboard mode?

Oxytocin✨

Any update for glyphs coming?🤔

Alexshax

Will wallpaper dimming be implemented in the new version of the OS, like in Pixels? (Dark theme)

Nickman

Alexshax Wallpaper dimming is available on the phone 2

if you set Bedtime mode you can find it under “Screen options at bedtime”
