Nothing has started rolling out Nothing OS 5.0, based on Android 17, to four mid-range devices: the Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, Phone (4a), and Phone (4a) Pro. The global release follows the update's arrival on the flagship Phone (3) earlier in the month and beats the company's planned November timeline. Devices are receiving the software in phased batches, though users can manually check for the firmware in system settings. [2][3]
The release introduces a standalone Glyph app to manage the phone backlights, along with a refreshed camera interface featuring a Dual-view Video mode that records using both the front and rear cameras at once. Interface changes include an optional split mode for Quick Settings, bulk icon management on the home screen, three new widgets called Collector, Away Time, and Glyph Timer, and fresh lock screen styling. Nothing OS 5.0 also brings a system-wide Translucent theme and a yellow status indicator that lights up whenever the handset processes sensitive AI data. [2]
