This collection spans over 12 years of phone history. I think each design is bold in its own era. What do you think?

From left to right: Aquos 306sh, HTC M8, Nothing Phone 3

In all the promotional material shared officially by nothing about the micrographic clock style they say that you can take a peek at what your day looks like and still in the official release they haven't been able to add a way to connect the clock to your calendar.

This was one of the 2 things I was excited for in Nothing OS 5.0 (the other being collectors widget). I hope they are at least able to provide this in future updates.

Edit: It's working now, i had to turn on sync with google account in the essential space app

Upgrading my phone 3 to nothing is 5...

Its official version i dont use the beta so this is the first experience for me let's see

Guys, I was driving and had my phone mounted on a mobile holder when it suddenly fell off 🙂.

The screen guard got damaged near the bottom-left corner.

When I removed the screen guard, I noticed a tiny pixel dot on the actual display (image attached).

Everything else seems fine, but I'm worried that the display might be damaged internally.

Am I cooked? 😬 Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a chance it'll stay like this, or could it get worse over time?

Just got in, ask away :)

Hey!

For a while, I've been looking for a clean, no-nonsense music player that just works without any unnecessary bloatware. Since nothing (pun intended) quite hit the spot, I built my own pet project: xaos-music-player.

You can check out the source code and repo in my bio at "Xaos Music Player"

It's completely open source. Feel free to try it out, break it, and let me know your thoughts or suggestions. If you run into any bugs or have ideas for cool features, drop an issue or a PR!

Key features are:

-Nothing OS style

-Custom themes that you can create

-Windows + Android

-Local music, OR you can search and download any song you don't have

-Sync library (songs, playlists, favorites, lyrics, data and themes) between devices (working on a wireless version)

-Lyrics in sync

-Multiband EQ with virtualization

-Homescreen widget with cover and lyrics in sync

-Listening reports

-Automatic playlists

-Sleep timer

-Edit song and album data, with the possibility to add cover arts, organizing etc

I installed the Nothing OS 5.0 beta on my Phone (2a), and I have to say, the new translucent effect is exactly what I wanted. It makes the wallpaper and overall UI feel much more alive, while also making the screen look less cluttered when using multiple widgets.

I also love the new clock they introduced. The whole lock screen and home screen feel much cleaner and more polished.

That said, I noticed a small issue. When playing music through Spotify, the lock screen disappears first after unlocking, but the Spotify media player widget disappears a moment later. I hope Nothing can make them disappear at the same time.

The new split notification panel also stutters occasionally while opening. The phone feels a bit laggy overall after installing the beta as well.

But considering this is still a beta release, I’m okay with the performance for now. Hopefully these small issues get fixed in the upcoming updates.

Overall, I really like the new translucent design. It gives the phone a completely different feel.

Still rocking the very first Nothing Ear to this day. Even had to get them replaced under warranty once, and they still sound great.

10/10 sound. 0/10 adhesive. These mfs are held together by Scotch tape and nostalgia.

These apps work on most Android phones, not just the Nothing Phones.

Planning on uploading these to GitHub soon.

Bought my Nothing Phone (4a) Pro on 12 Oct 2026 in India, and within a few days I noticed a dark spot on the circular Glyph Matrix on the back. It looks like an air bubble or void under the cover, and the pixel grid looks different inside it (photos attached).

The phone hasn't been dropped, wet or opened, so it looks like a manufacturing or bonding defect. I've contacted Nothing support to ask for a replacement, but their form only accepts text.

Has anyone else seen this on the 4a Pro? If you got a replacement, how did Nothing handle it, and how long did it take?

Thanks!

Tell me is this 6gb ram or 8gb ram varient

Title is provocative, I know. Still, as someone who's been using the 3a and now 4a as soon as they've been released, I waited eagerly for this update. Now that it's here, it feels like some Nothing 4.2 update that we could've gotten on the side.

I don't feel like Nothing OS has reached a point of saturation where you can only add bloat.

Some useful things that I'm missing:

- The lucent design needs to be *everywhere* - Why bother introducing it, when it feels like some afterthought. I want icons, quick settings, settings to have this. Make it cohesive.

- More intentional use of the vibration motor. What I mean: when you long press for circle to search on a pixel, there is this satisfying build up happening. On Nothing phones only the end gets a quick vibration. There are also other places where it couldn't hurt to redesign this

- The status bar icons are still too small. The battery could be larger, same goes for the number inside it.

- Better use of live notification. I see this on maps already, why isn't it there for the clock app? Maybe delivery apps. If you wanna make people use their phone more intentionally, you don't wanna make them pull up their notifications, so they get distracted

- Why not give certain elements a lighting rework. Means: when something is playing, there could be a subtle glow. Kinda goes hand in hand with the glyphs. Feels more cohesive.

- Let us remap the essential key. Nothing to add here

There is much more, but I think adding these things would've made for an actual NOS 5.0 update

My attempt at adjusting the (1) Pro's sound. I'm experienced with audio and make music myself, so I appreciate having the ability to adjust the sound this in-depth.

That being said these headphones have some severe sound quality issues... that shouldn't be a thing in $399 RRP headphones.

So while it kind of feels like putting a bandaid on an open wound, but it does help. I like the sound of this EQ for casual use. I wouldn't use these headphones professionally though. Not on the Flat EQ setting either.

The issue

The headphone has a LOT of variance in the treble, depending on how it fits on your head. This means that some of the high frequency sounds can sound nasally, hollow or just off really quickly depending on your fit.

To put that in perspective: while the fit remains secure, leaning my head forward is enough to make the treble sound significantly different to me. It's that bad.

What I changed

The lower end is a little more of a preference judgment; they're honestly pretty good out of the box. I just wanted a slightly fuller sounding (to me) body in the bass and lower mids.

The treble isn't good. Songs with a lot going on in the higher frequencies (...so most songs) tend to sound nasal and slightly hollow, probably due to the dips in the 3-4kHz range, peak around 5kHz, and another dip after.

To adjust this I've lowered the Precision driver by a significant amount and "moved" some of this performance to the Main drivers, while keeping in mind the peaks already present.

I feel like this removes some of the variance in the treble & high-mid frequencies. Basically: bringing the 3-driver set-up sliiightly back to a 2-driver set-up. It's a little silly, yeah.

My findings are supported by the measurements in the reviews by headphones.com and soundguys.com. (No affiliation, their graphs were just useful to double-check if I wasn't just hearing things!)

EQ made with Firmware Version 1.0.1.53 (They might've adjusted the sound in later versions.)

I had this phone for a few months and i want to put a tempered glass screen protector on it. the plastic one pre-applied It's already scratched and bubbly

Any good recommendations? I had bad ones on my old phone and don't wanna make the same mistake

So unlike what its name would suggest, essential search and the essential button is in fact not essential.

How do I disable the essential button and how do I get a normal ass app drawer that just shows and searches for apps instead of some search bar filled with a butt load of bloat I am not trying to search for.

It's been 2 weeks getting used to android, but so far im a fan of everything. After a couple months / weeks / years of usage, what do you find the most annoying about Nothing? I'm currently on Nothing 4a pro OS 4? I BELIEVE. The OS is new to me, but I'm seeing new things about OS 5 that gets me excited about the update. Also, don't particularly like how washed out it makes me look. Any settings to change that?

Finally I am joined in nothing family

So this just happened today. I baby these ear buds and the stalk cover just separated. Think this could be covered under warranty or am I SOL?

Looking for the best anti-yellow transparent case for Nothing Phone (4a) in India. Which brand is the most reliable and stays clear for a long time?
