Nothing OS 5.0 is here. 🌎 Our biggest software update yet, with 80+ updates across design, personalisation, performance, and AI. With Nothing OS 5.0, the experience feels more refined, more personal, and more responsive. We’ve sharpened the design, and added more ways to customise your phone to improve everyday interactions, so they feel faster and more seamless. We’re also continuing to build AI with purpose, and solve for everyday utility. Open Beta starts today with Phone (3). Let us know what you think!

Phone (4a), Phone (4a) Pro, and Headphone (a) just launched today! More capable, more expressive, and more colorful than anything we’ve built before. Nothing is designed for a generation bored with conformity. We exist to provide the canvas. The real stories are written by the creatives, designers, and techies who make these devices their own.

We were promised there would be "an app for that" and for a while, it felt true. But open app stores gradually gave way to the same few default apps and platforms - built by a handful of companies, for billions of people at once. Essential Apps start from a different belief: software should be tailored to your specific needs and context. From a simple prompt, you create personalized apps. No ads. No dark patterns. No one-size-fits-all. This is a shift toward a billion apps for a billion people - free from walled gardens. Today, we’re rolling out Essential Apps Beta following our Alpha release late last year. Updates now edit only what you change and keep the rest intact, with one-click rollback if anything breaks. Publishing is clearer, project states are easier to follow, and organization is tighter across the board. We’ve added location, calendar, and contacts permissions, so you can build apps that actually respond to your context. Image uploads are now supported, and a refreshed design baseline improves spacing, typography, tap areas, accessibility, and dark mode consistency - with more widget sizes on the way. Can't wait to see what our community builds next!

Today, @nothing raised $200M Series C at a $1.3B valuation. This marks the start of our next chapter: From building the only new smartphone company of the last decade, to creating an AI-native platform where hardware & software converge. Grateful to our community who’ve been with us from day one.
