- Nothing says that its Android 17-based Nothing OS 5.0 update is coming soon.
- The company has teased a date (August 25) related to the release, but didn’t specify what to expect.
- Beta testing for the previous, Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 update started in July 2025, so it’s likely a beta for Nothing OS 5.0 could begin soon.
