Introducing Nothing OS 4.0

https://youtu.be/XpSw0s3Kr3A 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. ![](https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-09-17/1758098835-475021-open-beta-coming-soon-16x9.png "banner")

MdAman54321 In 2025 so far from Android phones only Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL have hardware class 3 biometric (+PDAF), meaning support for what you want. It can’t be done on a software side.

FabioR 🇩🇪

Cedrik

Since theres probably not a specific date yet its more a question that should be answered with e.g. in 6 months.

M_MOHAMMEDRAYYAN

Any idea on when NOS 4.0 is releasing for 3a series

Nicouschulas

RishabManepalli

LUEEKASAUDHAN
Only nothing phone 3, 2a, 2a plus and 2. Es and es pro will come in October.

M_MOHAMMEDRAYYAN

Open beta for 3a is comming in october

Fahad
They did lol

SupernovaX

Rob ⚡️ the volume bar should add on control centre and a screenshot on control panel . T

Fahad

Nos 4 in not seems to be a big major update and they can not keep their promise to release beta on September. Lol

Til21

Fahad Closed beta is already released for a couple of weeks. Open beta should be usable for a wider range of users and use cases so imo they should take the time they need to optimise the open beta version instead of giving lots of people buggy software with high power consumption.

I took part in Android 16 M3 Expressive Beta on Pixel and I it was nothing special, and the same holds true for NOS3.0 closed beta last year which I took part in too. So just be excited and keep on waiting. It will be released, no worries 😃

Z_Aid

@Rob ⚡️ At this point just release it on a few devices if not all so that everyone can stop begging for updates and watch how other people feel about the OS through reviews.

Fahad

Til21 if u can’t keep you promise so why should give false statement? Is it right?

Til21

Fahad September was promised and in September the beta arrived. Open Beta was told so be released “soon” which can be tomorrow or in two weeks, I see no problem here …

Syssm

Til21 1Bro, Nothing team had said that Nothing OS 4.0 open beta will be released in September, and today is 30th September, if open beta is not released today then Nothing team has given a false statement.

Til21

Syssm Where can I find this information?

Anonymous931

Til21 In his imagination where “Coming soon” reads as “By the end of September”.

Edit:

Or this:

Rob ⚡️ We’re launching our Open Beta testing program soon.

For him that says “We are promising that we will launch our open beta testing program by the end of September.”

Some people in Nothing community simply struggle with reading basic words.

Sickchild72

Til21 some of them really believe their “tech bro” on social media. Some had claimed “got inside information” with the exact date then delete their post after the date past.

Til21

@Sickchild72

Now do you want to say something??

Anonymous931

Syssm So July 30 is more relevant than a NEWER update from 14 days ago? Lmao.

Btw, in your screenshot it clearly says: “Phone (3) owners”

Are you a Phone (3) owner? Like I said before:

pixcel25

Half of you guys make stuff up and then get upset about the imaginary situation

Fahad

Sickchild72 like dr. Android

I think beta will be available in mid to end of October.
