Nothing Phone 3 Android 16 beta has started and people can try out the new version before it releases for everyone.
The Android 16 beta for Phone 3 users has started in the closed phase
Nothing Phone 3 users will be the first to get the new Android 16-based Nothing OS version and the company is starting the beta program from early August. The brand has even asked Phone 3 users to sign up for the closed beta of Nothing OS 4.0 version which they can install on their units and try out the unreleased software platform from the company.
As you might know, the Phone 3 comes with Nothing OS 3.0 version out of the box and during the launch event of the new flagship phone, Nothing Phone users got some exciting news about the Android 16 update for their devices.
Nothing OS 4.0 Beta For Phone 3 Users Almost Here
Google has already rolled out the stable Android 16 version in June and is expected to launch with the Pixel 10 series on August 20.
Nothing Phone 3 was highly expected to be the first device from the brand to get the Nothing OS 4.0 update, especially when the company is offering 5 OS upgrades for the flagship device. And now we have more details about the Android 16 beta program from Nothing.
The company will take Android 16 beta registrations until August 3, 2025 and those selected for the program will get the OTA version on their devices within one week of its scheduled timeline. The brand will test the beta version for around a month till September, which is when we expect the Nothing OS 4.0 update to release for Phone 3 users.
The Android 16-based version should get design UI changes, along with a host of privacy features for the users.
The brand needs the new version to roll out first on the premium device, which has got mixed reviews, especially with its price tag of Rs 79,999 for the base variant in India. The Phone 3 has that classic Nothing touch with the design but the asymmetry around the cameras have mostly bothered people.
