August 2023 As covered last week, this Nothing OS 2.0 Update is based on Android 13. This is what currently ships on Nothing’s latest device to all customers. Nothing also has a beta OS release that runs atop Android 14, which works on Phone 1.
However, Nothing OS 2.0 for Phone 1 includes the “monochromatic visual identity” the Company has heavily leaned into for its Smart device. It includes new Quick Settings widgets that let you flip switches, like shutting off the rear Glyph lights when you’re in a theatre.
There are also the new “essential” Glyph notifications, designated as important alerts to keep persistent lights lit up on the rear.
Phone 1 owners will also get the Clone app feature that lets you run two instances of the same app on a single device.
The Nothing OS 2.0 Update is rolling out now to Phone 1 users, which can be checked by going to Phone Settings > System > System Update. In the USA, officially, the new Nothing Phone 2 is the way to experience the Company’s Android skin, as the Nothing Phone 1 did not get a direct US release.
Finally, comment below if you have questions about the Nothing OS 2.0 Update, Price, Release Date, and more.
