- In an update, Nothing confirmed the stable Nothing OS 4.0 update will roll out to supported devices this week.
- The official announcement is yet to come, which should provide clarity on which models will gain access to the Android 16-based update first.
- Nothing OS 4.0 includes new features that leverage AI and other content, like the controversial Lock Glimpse feature.
Android 16 publicly debuted in June, but Nothing users have been patiently waiting for their version of the latest release for months. Nothing is laser-focused on making AI features a core part of its operating system, whether it be an Android derivative or a future fully-custom OS. After the long wait, Nothing announced the Nothing OS 4.0 open beta in late October, which allowed users to finally test the Android 16-based update. Now, the company is confirming exactly when Nothing phone owners will get public access to Nothing OS 4.0.
In a post on the Nothing Community site, Nothing confirmed the official announcement and rollout for Nothing OS 4.0 will begin this Friday, November 21. “We know you have been eagerly waiting for the general release and want to say a special thank you to our Beta testers for providing valuable thoughts and feedback,” the company wrote. “The wait is nearly over.”
