Nothing has started rolling out the Nothing OS 4.1 March update for the Nothing Phone (4a). The update size is around 601 MB and brings several new features, visual improvements, camera upgrades, and the latest March 2026 security patch.
New Features
The update introduces a new Breathing Break widget, which offers guided breathing exercises to help users relax. It also adds Live Updates, allowing real-time tracking from supported apps directly on the lock screen, notification panel, and Glyph Interface. Additionally, the status bar now shows a dedicated icon when Nothing headphones are connected.
Glyph & Essential Features
Nothing has redesigned the Essential Notifications settings UI for a cleaner look. A new Generative ringtone feature is also included, offering unique sounds and Glyph patterns for calls and notifications.
The Essential Space interface has been improved with a cleaner layout, new “For You” and “Library” sections, event organization tools, and built-in search for quicker access.

It also adds Depth Effect (Beta) support for lock screen customization, adjustable clock alignment and sizes, and a blur effect on the password page. Dual network signals are now combined into a single status bar icon for a cleaner look.
Camera Enhancements
Camera improvements include Playground Sync for easy preset import, a new Amber portrait preset for cinematic tones, and auto-dimming during video recording to save battery. Image quality has also been improved with better exposure, color accuracy, and HDR processing.

CMF audio products are currently available at attractive prices during the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale, making this a good opportunity for buyers looking for affordable TWS earbuds or wireless headphones.
The discounted lineup includes the CMF Buds 2a, CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2 Plus, CMF Buds Neo, and CMF Headphone Pro.
CMF Audio Deals on Flipkart
| Product | Sale Price |

| CMF Buds 2a | ₹1,899 |
| CMF Buds 2 | ₹2,499 |
| CMF Buds 2 Plus | ₹2,699 |
| CMF Buds Neo | ₹1,699 |
| CMF Headphone Pro | ₹4,999 |
Among these deals, the CMF Headphone Pro at ₹4,999 stands out, bringing CMF’s over-ear headphones below the ₹5,000 mark.
The earbuds also become considerably more affordable at these sale prices. The Buds Neo is available for ₹1,699, while the Buds 2a, Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus are priced at ₹1,899, ₹2,499 and ₹2,699, respectively.
Additional Bank Discounts May Be Available
The listed prices are already discounted, but Flipkart may also offer additional instant discounts or cashback through eligible bank cards and payment offers during the sale. The final price can therefore vary depending on the payment method and applicable offers.
Personal Recommendation
Having personally used these CMF audio products, I can say that they offer a good overall experience for their respective price segments. If you’re specifically looking for an affordable pair of CMF earbuds, the Buds 2a and Buds 2 Plus are worth considering.
However, the CMF Headphone Pro at ₹4,999 is arguably the most interesting deal in this lineup, especially if you’re looking for over-ear headphones rather than TWS earbuds.

CMF by Nothing appears to be teasing two new products, and its latest social media post has given fans another clue to speculate about what could be coming.
Yesterday, CMF shared an image featuring two Pokémon — Snivy (#0495) and Victini (#0494). At first, it could simply look like a fun Pokémon reference, but the Pokédex numbers may be the more interesting part of the teaser.
CMF has already confirmed that it is preparing to launch two new products, and the latest teaser features exactly two Pokémon with the numbers 0495 and 0494.
Nothing/CMF typically has specific model numbers associated with its products, so it raises the question: could 495 and 494 be a clue toward the model numbers of the upcoming products?
Of course, this is only speculation for now. The numbers could simply be the official Pokédex numbers of Snivy and Victini, with no connection to the products.
But considering CMF is currently teasing two new products, the timing makes the reference interesting.
CMF has already entered several categories, including smartphones, smartwatches, neckband, TWS earbuds and headphones. This also raises the possibility that at least one of the upcoming products could belong to a new category, potentially something like a portable speaker.
Interestingly, CMF also recently announced a Community review program, which could potentially be related to these upcoming products. However, Indian users are once again not eligible for the program.
For now, CMF hasn’t revealed what the two products are, but this Pokémon teaser may have given us another small clue.

Reliance Digital has announced a promotional offer on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, bringing their effective prices down to ₹56,990 and ₹71,990, respectively. The offer combines an in-store discount, exchange value, an additional exchange bonus and bank cashback.
The headline prices are available for the 256GB variants and are subject to exchange eligibility and applicable bank offers.
iPhone 17 Pro at ₹56,990
The iPhone 17 Pro 256GB carries an MRP of ₹1,34,900 at Reliance Digital. Under the promotional offer, the store lists an effective price of ₹56,990.

| Old device exchange value | ₹55,000* |
| Exchange bonus | ₹10,000* |
| Bank cashback | ₹3,000* |
| Effective price | ₹56,990* |
