Nothing unveils Nothing OS 5.0 built on Android 17, but there’s bad news for older phones
Older phones will not be receiving this update, as expected.
Nothing has unveiled its Android 17 update, dubbed Nothing OS 5.0, set to launch in October. This update brings a range of enhancements, including redesigned UI elements, advanced AI features, new applications, and compatibility with Google's 3D emoji. Despite not being a full-scale overhaul, the update promises substantial improvements.
Android 17-based Nothing OS 5.0 will roll out starting in mid-October, affecting various devices, starting with Phone (3) and progressing to support devices up to Phone (2a) by mid-January. Open Beta versions are expected to be available from August 26, beginning on Phone (3) and gradually reaching other devices. Notably, Phone (4b), despite being the company's newest smartphone, will be among the last to receive the update.
