TL;DR<\/p>\n

A developer claims to have successfully installed Nothing OS 4.0 on a Phone 1.
\nEverything reportedly works, including the new Camera app and its presets.
\nThere are a few issues, like the clock in the status bar not being correctly aligned.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

In a social post, YouTuber TechiBoy shared that an unnamed developer has managed to successfully install Nothing OS 4.0 onto the company\u2019s debut smartphone. It appears that the developer has created an unofficial port of the new OS, but it\u2019s not ready for everyone yet. According to TechiBoy, \u201cEverything seems to be working, including the new Camera app with presets!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an unofficial port of Nothing OS 4.0 for Phone (1).

Although the port is reportedly working on the Phone 1, it\u2019s not without its hiccups. It said that the clock in the status bar is not correctly aligned and that the camera view is behind the punch-hole. There are also a few other unmentioned issues that need to be ironed out.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a fair amount of information lacking here. As such, we\u2019re a little skeptical about this report. But if someone did accomplish this feat, that\u2019s pretty cool.<\/p>\n
