How to Easily Adjust Your Nothing Phone’s Flashlight Brightness Using This App
Tech enthusiasts with Nothing phones have a new feature—an application that enables customizable control over the device’s flashlight brightness. While the Nothing OS currently lacks this feature, the app FlashDim, can adjust flashlight brightness through multiple levels ranging from minimum to maximum.
The feature, commonly seen in devices like the iPhones & OnePlus, allows users to increase or decrease the intensity of their flashlight. This functionality is particularly useful in different lighting conditions where users may not need the full power of the flashlight, or may require more light than the standard setting offers.
Despite its utility, the FlashDim app has encountered compatibility issues with some Nothing phone models, such as the Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2). Efforts to install the app forcibly via APK files have resulted in errors, suggesting that these devices may not yet be compatible with the app. Currently, this app is only working on devices like Nothing Phone (2a), Phone (2a) Plus and CMF Phone 1.
You will get up to 6 levels of flashlight control for the Phone (2a) and Phone (2a) Plus, and for the CMF Phone 1, you get 13 levels.
This app also provides a quick setting tile for turning on the flashlight in Low, Mid, and High settings. You can easily place it in your phone’s quick settings panel.
I hope this comes features come in the Nothing Phones directly in the Nothing OS instead of downloading another app and using it. Some people might think, ‘We have Glyph Lights on the back, so why use a flashlight in dim mode?’ The key question here is whether the device’s hardware supports it or not. That’s why I made a video on this topic and wrote about it in this story.
Nothing has started rolling out the new Nothing OS 4.0 Open Beta 2 update for its latest devices — the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. The update size is around 55.44 MB and focuses mainly on bug fixes and performance improvements rather than introducing new features.
According to a post on the Nothing Community forum, the update improves camera preview accuracy. Now, photos taken at certain zoom levels will more closely match what users see in the viewfinder. This helps ensure more accurate photo results.
In addition, the stability of Essential Apps has been optimized for a smoother experience. Many users had reported high memory usage notifications earlier — Nothing claims to have addressed this issue with the latest update.
However, there are no new features added in this beta version. Users can expect bigger visual changes, including new status bar icons, in the upcoming stable Nothing OS 4.0 update, which is expected to arrive by the end of November 2025.
After installation, users reported that the phone performs normally with no connectivity or performance issues. Features like calling, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth continue to work smoothly.
Nothing fans are now eagerly waiting for the Nothing OS 4.0 stable release, hoping for more visual changes and added functionality in the next update.
If you’ve ever admired the Liquid Glass Dock Bar look on iPhones and wished to get the same on your Nothing Phone, here’s some good news — you can now do it easily using the Dock Walls app.

You don’t need to root your device or install a custom launcher — just download Dock Walls from the Play Store, enable the dock wallpaper, and adjust the transparency and color to your liking.
With this quick setup, your Nothing Phone will instantly get that Liquid Glass floating dock effect — sleek, minimal, and beautiful.
Nothing has officially unveiled its new smartphone — the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite. The company posted the launch details around 6:30 PM, revealing a brand-new design and some interesting features. As the name suggests, this is the “Lite” version of the Nothing Phone (3a), but the design and hardware are quite different.
Design & Build
The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite comes in two colors – Black and White, featuring a triple-camera setup at the back. The overall rear design is completely new, looking somewhat similar to the CMF Phone 2 Pro in terms of the camera layout. The phone includes a single LED Glyph light, unlike the multiple LED strips seen on the higher-end models. The back panel appears to have a glass finish, giving it a premium look.
Display
The phone sports a 6.77-inch flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 3000 nits of peak brightness, offering the same quality as the CMF Phone 2 Pro display.
Performance
Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, the same processor used in the CMF Phone 2 Pro. It runs on Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15.
Camera
The device features a 50MP main sensor with EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), but no OIS. It also includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera.
Battery & Charging
The phone packs a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. However, no charger is included in the box — users will only get the phone, a case, a charging cable, and documentation.
Storage Options
Two variants will be available:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage
The storage type is UFS 2.2, and it also supports microSD card expansion up to 2TB.
Software & Updates
Nothing promises 3 major Android updates and 6 years of security patches. The device also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor and IP54 water and dust resistance.
Pricing & Availability
Currently, the pricing is only revealed in Euros, with no official information about the India launch yet. Based on conversions, the phone could be priced between Rs 19,000 to Rs 21,000 in India, sitting between the Nothing Phone (3a) and CMF Phone 2 Pro in the lineup.
