Reportedly, Nothing Phone (3) could be the first device to receive this software upgrade, and then it will gradually expand to the remaining models. Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, is expected to arrive with interactive widgets, new improvements, enhanced security features, AI enhancements, changes to glyph Matrix, and more.
