Introducing Nothing OS 4.0

With Nothing OS, we’re building a mobile experience that feels effortless, intuitive, and uniquely human. By combining purposeful design with cutting-edge innovation, we create an ecosystem where software and hardware speak the same design language - clean, open, and beautifully functional. Every interaction is designed to enhance life, not interrupt it. Technology, as it should be: simple, elegant, and quietly powerful. Nothing OS 4.0 takes this vision further. It builds on the foundation of OS 3.0 with deeper refinement, greater cohesion, and more transparency. Every detail has been sharpened, every interaction made smoother. 📐 Refined Design Nothing OS 4.0 brings a sharper, more thoughtful design across every layer. From standardised components to reimagined lock screen clocks and cleaner Quick Settings, everything feels more fluid and intuitive. It’s all about removing clutter and embracing the unified, refined standards that define Nothing. 🌑 Extra Dark Mode Extends Nothing OS’s signature dark aesthetic into an even deeper look. Smarter, more refined, and designed to reduce eye strain while saving power. 🟢 Pop-up View Keeps multitasking fluid with support for two floating app icons. Switch between tasks faster without breaking your flow. ⚡ App Optimisation Fine-tunes how apps start and run. Boosts speed, responsiveness, and overall smoothness across the system. 📷 Photography Experience Powered by TrueLens Engine, Nothing OS 4.0 introduces an upgraded Camera and smarter Gallery. With new controls, creative presets, and a more intuitive layout, capturing and reliving moments feels smoother and more refined across devices. 🔒 AI fully controlled by you New controls put you in charge. Nothing OS 4 goes further in protecting your privacy and keeping you informed, making AI behaviour more transparent and easy to manage. Stay updated with AI (LLM) status hints and a usage dashboard that keeps you fully informed and in control. Powerful, transparent, and all in your hands. ⚙️ General Improvements A more responsive lock screen and AOD, clearer brightness adjustments, stronger connectivity across Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and improved overall stability. Even small details like faster access to Bluetooth recording have been refined to make the experience smoother everywhere. 📲 Open Beta Rollout We’re launching our Open Beta testing program soon. Your chance to experience Nothing OS 4.0 first, with an exclusive preview of Android 16.

Agreed, it’s not upto the potential. In keeping the UI minimalistic they have skipped on a lot of features, honestly feels like other UIs are miles ahead in terms of customization and accessibility.

No USB 3.0 or higher = no desktop mode.

All Nothing phones are stuck 25 years ago with USB 2.0.

my glyph light doesnt stay on after essential notification like it used to before update. Is this removed or is something not working?

The only thing they are good at is publishing pointless videos and just the hype train the overall OS is just underwhelming who applies dark mode only on settings app? And there’s still no haptics on volume sliders how does a visual impaired person can see it and yes if any nothing fan boy gonna reply to this .who uses phone’s if they are visually impaired? YES THEY F DO ! MY FAMILY DOES IT AND I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON HAPTICS TO KNOW FEW THINGS !! very disappointing update..it’s not even a major update at this point cause there’s no desktop mode yet .

Rob ⚡️ This is the only update Xiaomi has given from Hyper OS ver 1 to 1.3, but here it is the next OS, so I was expecting a lot more.

Haha true.

But I’m a bit disappointed with the update, this update is till now not huge. Extra dark mode only for settings… Really? And 2 clock faces…

What’s nice is the multi tasking and the app optimisation but the rest is essential space related which is nice but not available for all old customers which is sad

Anonymous931 yea apart from that ? The volume haptics no universal dark mode ?

Anonymous931

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 Why even bother to comment about that until there is no final NOS 4? Beta can go 180, it can stay identical as it is, who knows… Software can be changed. But what we know is that hardware can’t be changed, so no USB 3.0+ in Nothing phones means no desktop mode.
