9to5google.com

Nothing has launched a first look at its Nothing OS 3.0 update, delivering revamped designs and features, a new Gallery app, and more, with a launch in beta next month. Nothing OS 3.0 is the software the company "always wanted" to build, as explained in a new video on the [company's YouTube channel](https://youtu.be/eV3Ch2lEr9Q). The update, almost surely based on Android 15, is set to bring several new changes including redesigns throughout the Android skin as well as a long-awaited first-party "Nothing Gallery" app. New features in Nothing OS 3.0 include: - **Nothing Gallery:** A new photo app with Nothing's design language and faster access from the camera app - **Lock Screen:** More customization for clocks and widgets, including the ability to disable a full-size clock to make more room for widgets. - **Quick Settings:** Full customization of icons including their size, similar to homescreen widgets. Auto-brightness toggle in the brightness slider. - **Smart App Drawer:** AI will be used to surface apps you may want to use -- in a UI that looks just like iOS' App Library -- or you can manually pin apps to the top of the traditional Android app drawer. - **New Widgets:** Countdown widget for dates, "Shared Widgets" that sync content and sticker reactions between users - **UI:** Updated typography, new "Dot Engine" updates system animations with dynamic dots (found when charging, fingerprint sensor, etc)
