Just a few hours ago, Nothing kick-started the Nothing OS 4.1 rollout for its flagship model, the Phone 3. Now, the company has extended the availability of its latest skin to other models. The list of phones receiving the update includes the Phone 3a lineup, Phone 2a lineup, Phone 2, CMF Phone 1, and CMF Phone 2 Pro. Needless to say, the update bags a slew of new features.
Though the update is still based on Android 16, it still ships with a big list of changes, with the key change being the new Essential features, new lock screen clock font from Phone 3a community edition, live updates support, updates for Glyph interface, and many more. The update doesn’t bump up the Android version; instead, it updates the monthly security patch to April 2026.
