Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta 1 will be released for phone 2a with these features
Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta 1 has been announced for the Phone 2a. This will allow users to experience the update and its new features before it is rolled out publicly in December. It’s based on Android 15 and offers new customization options for the home and lock screens, upgraded widgets, camera improvements, and other improvements. Nothing says the program will be available for other devices, such as the Phone 2 and CMF Phone 1, later this year.
Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta 1 features
In a community afterNothing announced that OS 3.0 Open Beta 1 for the Phone 2a will include some of the features previewed last month. The update brings a new lock screen that allows for more direct editing by simply long pressing the screen. It also bundles new watch faces, fonts and design layouts.
Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta 1 includes a smart drawer powered by artificial intelligence (AI). This feature automatically organizes apps into different categories based on usage. Users can also pin their most used apps to the top of the app drawer.
The update bundles camera improvements, including faster HDR processing time, faster start-up speed with the camera widget, improved low-light performance, and a better zoom slider display. It also enables faster multitasking by allowing users to move and resize the pop-up view. The same can now also be pinned to the edge of the screen.
The fingerprint animation has also been changed in keeping with the company’s synonymous dot-matrix theme. Nothing’s latest update includes an auto-archive feature that claims to free up storage space automatically without deleting data or apps. Users can also partially record their screens instead of the full window view. Nothing says it has also upgraded the installation wizard to version 3.0 for a smoother process.
