Overview
- Nothing began rolling out the Phone 1’s final major OS update on July 3, moving the device to Android 15 and installing the July 2026 security patch.
- The package delivers general improvements, bug fixes, and stability updates that Nothing says should tidy up lingering issues.
- The company warned that devices may use more power and feel warmer during installation and that performance will return to normal after the update finishes.
- Nothing framed the Phone 1 as the design and software foundation for its later products, noting the Glyph lighting and dot‑matrix look influenced successors such as the Phone 4b.
- Owners will keep using their phones after this patch but will not receive further major OS upgrades or ongoing security fixes so users who prioritize current updates should consider moving to a newer model.
