Nothing has officially ended software support for its very first smartphone, the Phone 1. This update marks the conclusion of a four-year commitment that included three major Android version upgrades. Users who still rely on this device will no longer receive security patches or operating system updates after this final release.
Device completes four-year software commitment with final security update
The device launched in July 2022 with Android 12 and has now reached the end of its lifecycle. The final update delivers the July 2026 Android security patch to all compatible units. Nothing confirmed the end of support in a direct statement regarding the Phone 1.
The Phone 1 fulfilled its original promise of four years of security patches and three major Android upgrades. The last major operating system version installed on the device was Android 15. This final security update ensures the device remains protected until the end of the support window.
Nothing is preparing to launch the Phone (4b) on July 7 as the next step in its lineup. The Phone 1 served as the foundation for the company's subsequent software and hardware strategies. Buyers currently using the Phone 1 should plan for a replacement device as the support window closes.
