Overview
- Nothing confirmed it has reached the end of the Phone (1)’s official software lifecycle and has begun rolling out a final OTA that includes the July 2026 Android security patch.
- The Phone (1) launched in July 2022 on Android 12 and received three Android OS upgrades during its support period, finishing at Android 15 as promised.
- The final update focuses on general bug fixes and overall system stability rather than new features, and the company says the device will remain usable after updates stop.
- Nothing expects the rollout to reach remaining users over the coming days and recommends owners who want ongoing security or feature updates consider newer models such as the Phone (3) or Phone (4a) Pro.
- Reaching this four‑year support milestone follows an industry practice of multi‑year update commitments and leaves long‑term users with the choice to keep a working device or upgrade for continued security and OS improvements.
