Nothing unveiled the Nothing Phone (3) yesterday as its first true flagship, and it comes with the promise of five years of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates. However, despite the stable release of Android 16 by Google, the Nothing Phone (3) boots Nothing OS 3.5, which is based on Android 15. While Nothing hasn’t provided a specific release date for Android 16 for its smartphones, it has revealed the timeframe for its rollout.

During yesterday’s launch, Carl Pei, Founder and CEO of Nothing, revealed that Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, is coming “later this autumn.” It’s safe to say that the Nothing Phone (3) will be the first in line to receive Nothing OS 4.0, with the rollout expanding to older models later.

The Nothing Phone (3) will be available for pre-order starting July 4, with sales commencing on July 15. The Phone (3)’s key highlights include the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, a 6.67″ 120Hz 1,260p OLED screen, four 50MP cameras, and a 5,150 mAh battery (5,500 mAh in India).
