Nothing Phone (3a) Series Gets New Update: Bugs Fixed, Nothing OS 4.0 Coming Soon

Nothing has released a new OTA (over-the-air) update for the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. This update is part of the Nothing OS 3.2 September patch and mainly focuses on fixing bugs and improving system stability.

The update size is around 47.57 MB, and both the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro receive the same build number with Asteroids-V3.2-251013-1406-IND. The Android security patch remains from September 1, 2025, with no changes there.

After installing, users have reported that the phone feels smoother and more stable. Features like Wi-Fi and calling are working perfectly fine, and no major issues have been found so far.

What’s Fixed in This Update

1. Glyph Interface Issue Fixed:
   The problem where the Glyph lights didn’t turn off properly after using the Flip to Record feature has now been fixed.
2. Call Recording Notification Optimized:
   The call recording notification now appears only during the first call, avoiding repeated pop-ups that previously appeared every time a call was made.
3. General System Improvements:
   The overall performance has been optimized for smoother operation.

Important Notes

Nothing mentioned that call recording might not be available in all regions due to local regulations. Also, the phone may feel slightly warm during installation, which is normal. Performance returns to normal shortly after.

Nothing OS 4.0 Open Beta Coming Soon

Nothing has confirmed through its community post that Nothing OS 4.0 Open Beta for the Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro will arrive by the end of October 2025. The update is expected to bring new features possibly some exclusive improvements such as a redesigned status bar.
