The Nothing Phone 2 is finally out, and with it is the new software Nothing has been building for a while. Nothing OS 2.0 is currently only available on the Phone 2 but will eventually come to the Nothing Phone 1 in August. The latest version of the proprietary Android skin has added several new cosmetic and functional changes. That said, it remains completely bloat-free and maintains its ultra-clean aesthetic. The software is still based on Android 13, so don’t expect to see any new Android 14 features here just yet. Here’s a list of all the new Nothing OS 2.0 features you should know and care about.
The new monochromatic icons in Nothing OS 2.0 are designed to eliminate distractions. The company wants you to focus on the “intentional consumption” of content and mute the distractions of colorful app logos from different brands. Not only do these new icons reduce distractions, but they also go very well with the monochrome color theme Nothing is known for.
