Nothing OS 5.0 lands on the Phone 4a Pro, but a few pieces are missing
Some of the update’s biggest changes will remain under wraps until October.
Nothing OS 5.0 Open Beta is slated to launch on the Nothing Phone 4a Pro, though a few components are absent. The 2.73GB update brings a significant visual overhaul, Glyph tools, camera enhancements, widgets, and split Quick Settings. Notably, the redesigned home screen and several key features will be rolled out in separate waves commencing in October.
Known for its distinctive phones and software, Nothing's recent shifts haven't always been seamless, with CEO Carl Pei acknowledging the potential for premature moves. Nonetheless, the forthcoming major update seems to be settling into place. Initially launched on the Nothing Phone 3, the Android 17-based Nothing OS 5.0 Open Beta is now making its way to the Nothing Phone 4a Pro.
Owners of the latter can enroll in the Beta program, though the update could take up to five minutes to become available.
