Nothing has confirmed that it will launch its second-gen flagship smartphone with its second-gen skin for Android. Now, the OEM's CEO Carl Pei has confirmed that its inaugural mobile device will not be left behind, although its upgrade to stable Nothing OS 2.0 will come slightly later. The company has indicated that the update may make the Phone (1) look and behave very differently in the near future.

Nothing's Software Creative Director Mladen M. Hoyss has hyped the OEM's latest software ahead of its upcoming launch. Speaking to XDA, the executive dropped strong hints as to how the major OS upgrade in question will differ from its predecessor.

The company's development team is partially made up of ex-OnePlus employees who worked on OxygenOS; nevertheless, the executive strongly indicated that they intend for Nothing OS 2.0 to look nothing like any other Android skin on the market; for example, its home-screen should show everything that is "personal" to the user, rather than a showcase of other companies' logos (in the form of widgets, apps and so on).

Hoyss generally indicated that Nothing OS 2.0 is being built with "functional aesthetics" (the discipline of converting data into engaging visuals) as its watchword. It will debut with the Phone (2) in July 2023, and will be ported to its predecessor about a month thereafter.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
