Nothing is rolling out a fresh update for the Nothing Phone 3<\/a>, and it\u2019s definitely worth grabbing. The new build<\/a>, tagged Nothing OS V3.5-250911-2112, is now hitting devices and packs a much-needed camera overhaul plus a handful of stability fixes and tweaks that should make day-to-day use feel smoother.<\/p>\n

While Android 16<\/a> and Nothing OS 4.0 are still on the horizon, this update keeps the Phone 3 sharp in the meantime. The camera is where you\u2019ll notice the biggest difference (via 9to5Google<\/a>). This update gives you finer control over the camera’s manual exposure, making adjustments more precise and responsive. It also tackles a known issue with color casts, so your photos now show truer, more balanced colors in any light.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AI SuperRes Zoom now makes zoomed-in text look crisper, and Action Mode cuts down noise and grain for cleaner motion shots. Even third-party camera apps are getting clearer results now. On the video side, contrast has been boosted, haze reduced, and colors look livelier, so clips should pop more on playback.<\/p>\n

Nothing didn\u2019t stop at camera polish. The update fixes a few annoying bugs and smooths out some rough edges across the interface.<\/p>\n

The Glyph Matrix feature works better when you\u2019re using multi-user mode alongside Always-on Glyph Toys, and a pesky bug that duplicated contact avatars when setting new Essential Notification rules has been squashed.<\/p>\n

Haptic feedback is back to normal when previewing Generative notifications, and alignment issues with Arabic titles in the \u201cAbout phone\u201d section have been corrected. There\u2019s also a cleaner interface for Bluetooth device recording tucked under Settings \u2192 Sound & Vibration \u2192 Bluetooth device recording.<\/p>\n

On top of that, the update reduces heating and battery drain in certain scenarios, while Wi-Fi connectivity and overall network stability have been optimized.<\/p>\n

Even though this build is still based on Android 15<\/a>, Nothing recently teased its next big step<\/a>: Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16<\/a>. The update roadmap confirms that alongside the Phone 3, devices like the Phone 3a series, Phone 2 models, and CMF Phones will all get the upgrade.<\/p>\n

For now, though, Phone 3 owners should head to Settings \u2192 Software Update and grab this release. Between the camera upgrades, performance fixes, and improved connectivity, it\u2019s a worthwhile refresh ahead of the bigger changes to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to knowNothing OS V3.5-250911-2112 is rolling out for Phone 3 with major camera upgrades and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-39480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
