Overview

  • Pop-up View enables two floating apps to run simultaneously, with swipe gestures to minimize windows or expand them to full screen.
  • An AI Usage Dashboard shows which models are active and how often they run, complemented by status hints, notifications, and tighter permissions.
  • Extra Dark Mode deepens system visuals to reduce eye strain and help conserve battery on OLED displays.
  • Nothing is offering £300/$300 toward Phone 3 for Phone 1 and Phone 2 owners who verify their IMEI by October 3, 2025, with store credit extended to customers who already bought Phone 3.
