Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2a) Plus also receive Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta 1

14 December 2024
Nothing kept its promise of releasing Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta 1 for both the phones this month.

Credit where credit is due. Making a beta available for the Phone 1, which is 2.5 years old, before Samsung, is excellent work. Nothing might only have one or two guys developing software.

    Hurrah, finally got rid of that revolting looking dot matrix clock on the Lock Screen.

      Shadocx, 10 hours agoWith only 5 Nothing phones released in 2 years and a half, ... moreSamsung until 2 years ago launched those same 26 phones between the S series, the A, the M, and many others and was almost always one of the first to adopt the new version of Android! Now, by copying and pasting everything that Apple does, it has stagnated even in that, updating its horrible layer on time...

I think they could manage if they tried.

            Anton .el PAPI., 11 hours agoSamsung (Clear throat, clear throat) 😅With only 5 Nothing phones released in 2 years and a half, it's easy to update them.
            In just one year, Samsung released 26 phones.
            (I didn't even count the tablets)

              It's funny how the most powerful Nothing the Phone (2) is left behind.

              Edit: oh nevermind.
