Nothing has started testing the Android 16 beta in the last few weeks and the official release for Phone 3 users should be coming soon.
Nothing Phone 3 is likely to get the new Android 16 update first
Nothing has shared its own set of news this week which will please its users. The stable Android 16 update will be rolling out soon for the eligible devices which is not going to include the first-gen Phone 1 model. The company has been teasing the Nothing OS 4.0 release since the launch of Phone 3 in July and even started its closed beta version for select users.
The latest post from Nothing even gives us some idea about what the Android 16-based version will offer in terms of the features and the design of the interface which is one of the best and cleanest you can get on Android.
Nothing OS 4.0 Release Soon: What To Expect
The teaser from Nothing on the new version shows circular icons across the default apps on Nothing OS 4.0. The post says refined and redefined which suggests Nothing is not looking to change a lot but refine the interface and maybe change the layout of the icons along with other aspects of its software.
Nothing OS 4.0 is widely awaited, not just because it is based on the latest Android 16 version but also gives Nothing a new platform to showcase its seriousness towards software, something that has enamoured many with its devices.
Nothing Phone 3 did not excite people in India, with its launch price tag of Rs 79,999 that puts it on the premium table with some serious rivals. The product itself found it hard to justify that price, which is why we are already seeing Phone 3 available for less than Rs 50,000 across platforms. In fact, Nothing is planning for a special sale offer on the Phone 3 next week which is likely to entice more people to reconsider their thoughts about the first pure flagship from the brand.
Nothing has pointed out that Phone 3 was never primed for markets like India where it also offers the Phone a series in the mid-range segment. But the imminent price drop for Phone 3 could make it an interesting option in a totally different price range.
