Nothing has started rolling out the latest Nothing OS 3.2 June update for its Phone (2a) Plus, CMF Phone 1, and Nothing Phone (1). The update is based on Android 15 and brings new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance user experience.

One of the key highlights of this update is the introduction of Privacy Space. This feature lets users swipe right in the app drawer to quickly access a secure zone for private apps and files.
Users can also now set separate passwords for the App Locker and the new Privacy Space, adding an extra layer of security.
Another useful addition is the Hotspot Manager, which allows users to easily view and manage devices connected to their hotspot.

Nothing Phone (2a) Plus: Fixes for Bluetooth headphone sound issues during Telegram calls, better accessibility in apps, and improved face and fingerprint unlocking. It also includes the June security patch and improved system stability.
CMF Phone 1: Fixes for incorrect volume display on Bluetooth headphones, zoom bar issues in the camera app, better app accessibility, and improved unlocking reliability. The phone also gets the June security patch and stability improvements.
Nothing Phone (1): Fixes for the light strip display issue in Glyph Composer, an option to turn off face unlock vibration on the lock screen, and better app accessibility. General bug fixes, system stability improvements, and the June security patch are also included.
The Nothing OS 3.2 June update shows the company’s focus on improving security, accessibility, and overall device performance. If you own one of these devices, you can check for the update in your phone’s settings and enjoy the new features.
Nothing has officially hinted at the release of its upcoming major software update – Nothing OS 4.0, which will be based on Android 16. This update is expected to bring a fresh experience with new features, design improvements, and better performance across several Nothing smartphones.
The first sign of this update was spotted during the launch event of the Nothing Phone (3). A screen at the event showed the message: “Nothing OS 4.0 coming soon with Android 16.” This gave a clear hint that Nothing is preparing to roll out Android 16 in the coming months, starting with its newest phone.
According to sources and recent tweets, the Nothing Phone (3) will be the first device to get this update. The open beta version of Nothing OS 4.0 could be released in September 2025, followed by a stable rollout in October. This makes sense as Phone (3) is the company’s latest flagship device.
The Phone (3a) series and the Nothing Phone (2) are expected to receive the stable update in November, while the Phone (2a), Phone (2a) Plus, CMF Phone 1, and CMF Phone 2 Pro may get it between November and December. However, it is confirmed that the Nothing Phone (1) will not receive the Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 update.
Nothing OS 4.0 is expected to be a major update with significant changes. The quick settings panel may get a refreshed design, and users can expect smoother animations throughout the interface. The app drawer layout might also be improved. In addition, the update could bring new features to the Game Mode, making gaming more efficient and immersive.
One of the most exciting expected features is Live Alerts, introduced in Android 16. This will show real-time updates like delivery progress directly on the lock screen. With Nothing’s Glyph Interface and Glyph Matrix, users may also see a progress bar in the LED lights for tracking activities like food deliveries, app alerts, and more.
Nothing’s founder Carl Pei also tweeted about Android 16’s Live Alerts, stating that it opens up new possibilities for the Glyph system. This shows that the company is working on deeper integration between software and its signature hardware features.
In short, the update rollout will begin in autumn 2025, starting with Phone (3) in October, followed by other models. If you’re using a newer Nothing phone, you can expect the Android 16 update before the end of the year.

The much-awaited Nothing Phone (3) is finally here, and we got our hands on the device through the Community Review Program. The community box unboxing experience felt premium right from the start, with a clean white box featuring the Phone (3) back design and Nothing branding. Inside the package, we also received a 100W GaN fast charger by CMF.
The variant we received comes in white with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The manufacturing date is June 2025, and the phone feels solid and heavy, giving a truly premium impression. The design of the box is similar to previous Nothing phones, keeping a consistent identity.
As we opened the phone, the first look felt different and unique. It features a triple rear camera setup, including a periscope lens, and the design around the camera area is eye-catching. The Glyph lights have been replaced by a new Glyph Matrix system, which now supports multiple interactive tools and mini-games like stopwatch, battery indicator, and even a rock-paper-scissors game. The company them as a Glyph Toys.
The in-hand feel is excellent, with a metal frame body, and the phone includes five physical buttons, including a new Glyph button placed on the back under the glass. It comes with a transparent USB-C cable, a phone case, and a SIM ejector tool, though there’s no charger in the main box.
On the front, the device has a 6.7-inch LTPS AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The display is bright and vibrant, making it great for watching videos or using outdoors. It offers 800 nits of normal brightness, 1600 nits with High Brightness Mode (HBM), and reaches up to 4500 nits peak brightness for HDR content. It also supports HDR10+, giving users a rich and smooth viewing experience. For the first time, a Nothing phone has IP68 water and dust resistance.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, the phone runs on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, and the animations and performance felt smooth during the setup. Nothing has promised 5 years of major Android updates and 7 years of security updates, making it future-ready.
The camera system includes:
- 50MP main sensor
- 50MP periscope lens with 3x zoom
- 50MP ultra-wide sensor
- 50MP selfie camera
Here are some camera samples from the Nothing Phone (3):
It supports dual SIM, eSIM, USB Type-C 2.0 port and UFS 4.0 storage. The phone has a 5500mAh battery with 65W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging support.
The official price of the Nothing Phone (3) is Rs. 80,000, but with bank offers and exchange bonuses, buyers can get it for as low as Rs. 53,000–Rs. 54,000. This is just for pre-orders.
Open sales starts on July 12 at 12 PM, likely on Flipkart.
With a fresh design, smart software features, and solid hardware, the Nothing Phone (3) looks like a true flagship experience with a different story. More videos and testing coming soon.
CMF by Nothing, the sub-brand of tech company Nothing, is set for a major change. The company has confirmed that it will move its global marketing operations to India.
This announcement was made by Nothing’s co-founder and India President Akis Evangelidis. He shared that the company wants to build CMF into a global brand, starting from India.
As part of this plan, the Gurgaon office will now become the base for several important global roles. Job openings have already gone live for key positions like product marketing, social media, PR, and content creation, all based in Gurgaon.
Evangelidis said this decision is part of a long-term vision. He believes the move will help the company work faster and stay close to the market that matters most.
He added that CMF has a big opportunity to grow and do something different. Shifting the marketing team to India will help the brand move quickly, respond to local needs, and build a stronger foundation.
CMF is known for offering value-for-money products with a focus on design. Its range includes earbuds, accessories, and smartphones. The new move is expected to help the brand understand local users better and launch products and campaigns more efficiently.
Nothing’s founder Carl Pei also commented on the decision. He said that India is CMF’s fastest-growing and most important market. He added that India is playing a big role in the future of tech and the company is excited to build for the world from India.
Nothing already manufactures a large number of its products in India. With this shift in global roles, India is becoming more than just a manufacturing base. It is now also a hub for leadership and innovation.
This move follows a larger trend in the tech industry. With support from government programs like Make in India and the PLI scheme, more tech companies are now choosing India as their global operations base.
