Nothing OS 4.0 Lands with Exclusive Android 16 Preview!

Nothing is back with another bold leap forward in mobile software: Nothing OS 4.0. Designed to feel effortless, intuitive, and unmistakably human, the new update takes the company’s vision of simple, elegant technology to a whole new level. And here’s the headline you’ve been waiting for — it comes with an exclusive first look at Android 16 through the upcoming Open Beta program.

A Sharper, Smarter, More Human Experience

With Nothing OS 4.0, every detail has been refined. The design language now feels even more cohesive — from reimagined lock screen clocks to cleaner Quick Settings. Components feel standardized, clutter is stripped away, and the overall flow is smoother and more natural than ever.

Deeper Dark Mode

Building on Nothing’s already-iconic dark aesthetic, the new Extra Dark Mode goes deeper than before, reducing eye strain, saving power, and giving your phone a sleek, ultra-modern look.

Multitasking with Pop-up View

Multitasking gets a boost with Pop-up View — switch between two floating app icons without breaking your flow. It’s multitasking reimagined for speed and ease.

Speed Where It Counts

Under the hood, App Optimisation fine-tunes how apps launch and run, delivering increased responsiveness and smoother performance across the system.

A Photography Upgrade

Powered by the TrueLens Engine, Nothing OS 4.0 enhances the camera and gallery experience. With smarter controls, creative presets, and a clearer layout, capturing and reliving moments feels more fluid than ever.

AI Transparency, Fully in Your Hands

AI is powerful — but it should always be your choice. Nothing OS 4.0 introduces clear AI controls and dashboards, giving you full visibility into how AI is working on your device. Total control, total transparency.

Everyday Improvements That Matter

From a more responsive Lock Screen and Always-On Display, to clearer brightness adjustments, improved Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and even faster Bluetooth recording access — Nothing has polished every corner to deliver a smoother, smarter experience.

Here’s the most exciting part: Nothing OS 4.0 will debut with an Open Beta that lets users experience Android 16 first. Yes, you read that right — before the general rollout, you’ll get to explore Google’s latest Android release through the lens of Nothing’s design.
