The short video you can see below features a very quick glimpse into the icons that will be used in the new version, as well as a promise that Nothing OS 4 will be &#8220;refined&#8221; and &#8220;redefined&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nothing OS 4.0 <br \/>Refined.

Does this mean the Phone (1) will get Android 16, but perhaps only as a beta? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Phone (1) has reached the end of its software lifecycle and will not receive Nothing OS 4.0.
