In the world of smartphones, Nothing always does something new and different. And this time the new software they have launched – Nothing OS 3.0, is really special. This is not just an update, it is a change that will make your phone look smarter, more personal.
This new system is built on Android 15, but it is not the same as what comes in other phones. Everything in it is designed so that the phone works the way you want – the way you think, looks and works the way you want.
If you have a Phone (2a), Phone (2), or the new CMF Phone 1, then this update is for you.
Lock screen
We unlock the phone several times a day. So why the same old lock screen every time?
In Nothing OS 3.0, you can now change your lock screen to your liking. Two new designs have been given – N-Type and N-Dot. Both look clean and stylish.
If you want, you can also add widgets like calendar, weather or step counter on the lock screen itself. Now the moment you open the phone, whatever you need will be visible.
Smart App Drawer
Now the hassle of searching for apps is over. The new Smart Drawer automatically understands your habits and places the apps in the right place.
Do you have a habit of surfing Twitter at night? It will appear on top. Need your bank app at the beginning of the month? That too will be ready.
This feature is powered by AI, but it doesn’t feel like a machine is running its brain – everything feels very easy and natural.
New Gallery
Now there is no need for a third-party gallery app. Nothing OS 3.0 has a new gallery app that is directly connected to the camera.
The photo you take will open immediately, you can edit it quickly. It also has AI features that recognize your best photo, highlight things in the photo and automatically create short videos.
The best part – no useless ads or cloud hassles. Everything is in the phone itself, fast and easy.
Quick Settings
Now you can change the control panel that you open from the top of the phone (Wi-Fi, Torch etc.) according to your needs.
The options that you use daily, you can make them bigger and on top. Keep the less useful ones small and at the bottom.
Now everything is under control in just a single click.
AI Features
The use of AI in this OS is very simple and useful.
- It makes the photo clearer and sharper
- You can create new creative images with the Image Generator
- It becomes easy to find a screenshot or photo – just write “cake wali photo” in the search and you will find it
The AI here runs quietly in the background and makes your work easy – without bothering you.
