Nothing has started teasing Nothing OS 5.0, the company\u2019s next big phone software update, and the teaser confirms it\u2019ll share more on August 25, 2026<\/strong>. This version is expected to sit on top of Android 17 and should be Nothing\u2019s next major phone release after Nothing OS 4.0. The teaser line, \u201cMore joy, every day,\u201d hints at the direction: more personalization, better day-to-day usability, and a visual refresh built around animated gradients and a frosted-glass look that could give it a clearer identity next to other Android skins.<\/p>\n

Underneath that new look, Android 17<\/strong> is expected to bring the usual platform changes: floating-bubble multitasking, better memory management, tighter privacy controls, plus the standard round of performance and security improvements. Nothing will almost certainly put its own design layer over all of that.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re using a recent Nothing phone, this is probably one to keep an eye on. A stable release is widely expected in November 2026<\/strong>, with the Nothing Phone (3) likely first in line.<\/p>\n\n

There\u2019s also a report that Nothing has already pulled in Nothing Phone (3) owners for a private pre-release test. For now, though, a public beta<\/strong> doesn\u2019t seem likely.<\/p>\n\n

Going by the current support roadmap, roughly ten devices<\/strong> should make the cut. That list is expected to include the Nothing Phone (4), Nothing Phone (3), the Nothing Phone (2a) series, and the CMF Phone 2 Pro. On the other side, the Nothing Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2), and CMF Phone 1 aren\u2019t expected to get Android 17. The Nothing Phone (1) has also reached end of life for security patches.<\/p>\n\n
