Nothing has released a major software update for its smartphone lineup, bringing fresh features and security fixes to users. The rollout matters because it introduces visual enhancements and stability improvements across most current devices. Buyers with supported models can expect immediate access to these changes, while others await their turn in the queue.
New firmware brings visual tweaks and security fixes to most devices
The update targets a wide range of hardware, including the Nothing Phone (3), Phone (3a) series, Phone (2a) series, and CMF Phone models. Each device receives a specific firmware version tailored to its hardware configuration. The Nothing Phone (1) remains excluded from this update as it has reached the end of its supported lifecycle.
Key visual changes include depth-effect support for lock screen wallpapers, which now works with Atmosphere themes. The system also adjusts clock face sizes and alignment for better readability. A new dedicated icon appears in the status bar when Nothing headphones are connected. Under the hood, the update refines launcher animations and improves overall system stability.
Security remains a priority with the inclusion of the June 2026 Android security patch. The update also adds a specific reminder for users regarding face unlock methods. These changes aim to protect user data and enhance the daily experience. The firmware versions range from OS B4.1-260603-1221 for the Phone (3) to OS B4.1-260615-1652 for the CMF Phone 1.
Devices not included in this initial batch, such as the Nothing Phone (4a), Phone (4a) Pro, and Phone (2), will likely receive the update in the coming days. Nothing confirmed this timeline through its community channels. Users on these models should check for updates soon to ensure they have the latest software.
