Nothing Phone's next major update will be Nothing OS 3.0, which will probably be introduced around the same time as Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition. The device in question will feature some hardware changes designed by fans. Additionally, the phone's wallpapers and packaging will also be created by the community. Nothing Community will also help market the phone.
Nothing's founder and CEO, Carl Pei, shared some images showing some of the new features that will be included in Nothing OS 3.0. Pei revealed new capabilities for the lock screen and interactive dot animations coming to Quick Settings. Pei shared these images on his “X” account.
One of the shared images reveals three different lock screen customizations available for Nothing users. First, there is the Default view, which shows time, day and date. Secondly, there is the Clock + Widget option, which has three widgets that show the time in dots and the weather on the screen, a shortcut for quick actions and the date. The third lock screen customization is called Extended Widget Area. This example shows an analog clock, a large date box, and widgets for quick actions, weather, and contacts.
In addition, Pei shared information about Interactive Dot Animation, which will consist of three different layers: Input image layer, live interaction layer and final output layer.
Nothing OS 3.0 is expected to include a new built-in gallery and community app. Pei says the official announcement about Nothing OS 3.0 will be made in September. In August last year, the company released Nothing OS 2.0. The update will be valid for Nothing Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing Phone (2a).
Pei was so excited about the upcoming release of Nothing OS 3.0 that he felt the need to share information about lock screen customizations. “I apologize in advance to the team for this leak… but I am so excited!” Pei wrote in his post. he wrote. However, he has been known to use his personal social media accounts before to leak information about upcoming phones at both OnePlus (of which he is a co-founder) and Nothing.
As a result, Nothing OS 3.0 comes with a number of innovations that will meet users' expectations and bring a new breath to their devices. In particular, lock screen customizations and interactive dot animations seem to enrich the user experience. The official announcement will be made in September and owners of Nothing Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing Phone (2a) are eagerly awaiting this update. Meanwhile, with the contributions of Nothing Community, Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition is expected to attract great attention.
