Nothing has confirmed that its next big OS upgrade — Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16 — is on the way. But not all phones in its catalog will get the update. This article breaks down exactly which models are supported, which are excluded, and what this means for owners.
What’s the Deal with Nothing OS 4.0
- Nothing OS 4.0 is the new version of Nothing’s custom Android skin, built on Google’s Android 16.
- The update brings enhancements in visuals (refined UI), improved dark mode (Extra Dark Mode), quicker settings redesign, better performance, privacy, and AI-driven user interactions. TechRadar+2Gizmochina+2
- The rollout is expected in autumn 2025 (September-November), starting with the Nothing Phone (3). Gizmochina+2techiboy.com+2

Devices That Will Not Receive Nothing OS 4.0
- Nothing Phone (1) is officially excluded. It has already received the promised major OS updates (three major versions), which is the limit set by Nothing for that device. Beebom Gadgets+3Gizmochina+3techywit+3
Why Some Phones Are Left Out
- Nothing has a policy of supporting phones with a certain number of major Android OS updates. Once a device has reached that number, it’s excluded from getting new major OS versions. Phone (1) has reached its limit. Gizmochina+1
- Hardware limitations or cost vs benefit may also influence which older models are supported. Gizmochina+1
What This Means for Users
If you own one of the supported devices, you can expect:
- Early or closed beta access (especially for Phone 3) before stable release. Android Sage+1
- Gradual rollout: after Phone 3, the update will move to the Phone 3a series, then older models. techiboy.com+1
- If you have Nothing Phone (1), there will be no OS 4.0 — which means no new major features, though security updates might still continue until policy says otherwise
