Nothing Phone (1) to receive upgraded software in August

Exciting news for Nothing Phone users! The release of the Nothing Phone (2) is just around the corner, scheduled to take place at an event on July 11. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2) will come pre-loaded with the all-new Nothing OS 2.0. This will bring a customized skin based on the latest Android 13 operating system. In addition, this upcoming software update also marks a significant milestone for the company. In fact, it represents a major leap forward from the current Nothing OS 1.5, which powers the existing Nothing Phone (1).

Upgraded Software Experience

Owners of the Nothing Phone (1) might be wondering when they can get Nothing OS 2.0 on their devices. According to Nothing CEO Carl Pei, the update will roll out “by the end of August.” This means that there will be a short waiting period of approximately a month and a half after the launch of the Nothing Phone (2).

The specific details about the enhancements in Nothing OS 2.0 are yet to be revealed.

Impressive Hardware and Long-Term Support

Beyond the software enhancements, the Nothing Phone (2) already boasts impressive specifications. It will be powered by the high-performance Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and feature a sizable 6.7-inch display.
