Nothing's Phone (2) to Receive Major Updates up to Android 16

Nothing has announced that the Phone (2) is getting the same software update support as the original Phone (1) by having up to three years of Android OS updates and four years of security updates. The next transparent phone is planned to be unveiled in July.

A longer software policy has become a vital feature that users are starting to look before buying their next smartphone. Samsung is among those names that offer the longest Android software support with up to four years of major releases and five years of patches. This is even better than Google with its 3-year software updates for the Pixel lineup.

Nothing Phone (2) software support policy

In a tweet, the UK-based startup helmed by former OnePlus CEO, Carl Pei, confirmed that Nothing Phone (2) will receive three years of software updates on top of the security updates until 2027. Meaning, the Phone (2) is likely to be upgraded starting from Android 14 to Android 16 given it is expected to run on Android 13 OS out of the box once it is launched next month.

While this is not on par to what Samsung has for the Galaxy phones, it would still put the Nothing Phone (2) in line with most Chinese OEMs. For instance, Xiaomi has only started pledging the same software policy with the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Ultra (review) currently running on MIUI 14, which are still better compared to Asus and Motorola.

In addition to software, the Nothing Phone (2) is to be fitted with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 system-on-chip while memory configuration may also see an increased from 8/128 GB to 12/256 GB. At the same time, that the premium mid-range will get an upgraded battery capacity over the Phone (1) as told by Pei.
