TL;DR
  • A developer claims to have successfully installed Nothing OS 4.0 on a Phone 1.
  • Everything reportedly works, including the new Camera app and its presets.
  • There are a few issues, like the clock in the status bar not being correctly aligned.

Although Android 16 has been available on Pixels for a while now, many other Android phones are just now starting to get a taste. For example, Nothing recently rolled out the Nothing OS 4.0 beta, which is based on Android 16. This beta is only available for the Phone 2, Phone 2a, Phone 2a Pro, Phone 3, and eventually the Phone 3a. However, it appears a developer may have found a way to get the OS running on a Phone 1.
