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")

I love it how they have no idea why is Dynamic Island even there in the first place, they just want it even though it’s basically literally already existent in Android for years now - just a bit higher than around the iPhone camera module (which is absolutely massive on iPhones, thus the Dynamic Island to make use of that wasted space).

But no, they want Dynamic Island and they will rather keep asking, errr, I mean spamming for it instead of getting an iPhone. Funny stuff.

Rob ⚡️ add some blur transparent background on notification panel it’s very asthetic. And implement haptic feedback on brightness control and volume control. And some depth effect on lockscreen. Nothing os 4.0 look like very backdated old android version.

AvijitGhosh_yoEiZTOj8S I love the way it looks. So it doesn’t look like some cheapo 10k INR iOS-copying device.

CMF1_hacker Not ios- copying but more like the blur on pixel Android 16 material 3 expressive

NOTHING ALLURE not that it matters so much for this forum, but I have habilitated in Germany to Priv. Doz., kind of like a super-PhD with 10 years of work required post-PhD to be defended via viva voce in a challenging STEM subject. I work in the UK now though as professorships are easier to come by.

kamal

I know I am asking more but bring more battery optimization with cool UI customization with Nothing theme which i like more.

How on earth someone can say to someone else that he’s uneducated when simply saying their opinion/personal preferences??

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3

Nicouschulas these guys here are just bunch of arrogant brats. . whenever someone suggests something or just straight out call out the negative points of nothing OS.. these guys comes in and just bash.. I wonder if they even have a job or something cause they are pretty much active 24/7 looks like they work for nothing (joking ….) 😂
