Alongside Android\u2019s built-in Dynamic Colors, the company says it allows you to have specific elements change to match your wallpaper \u201cwhile Nothing\u2019s predominantly monochrome character stays underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">While I like Nothing\u2019s simplified, monochrome app icons, it\u2019s nice to get an option for adding some limited areas of color to the homescreen. Nothing\u2019s launching it as \u201can additional theme,\u201d so you can keep using the old design if you like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Android 17-based update is launching in open beta on August 26th, starting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/mobile\/709093\/nothing-phone-3-review\">Nothing Phone 3<\/a>. It will eventually also roll out to most of Nothing\u2019s other phones, but a few older devices aren\u2019t getting this update, including the Phone 1, Phone 2, and CMF Phone 1 \u2014 the last of which I\u2019ve been using, so unfortunately I won\u2019t get to try out these new features myself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The latest version of Nothing OS also adds a slew of new homescreen customization options and quality-of-life tweaks that will let you track how long you spend away from your phone, or make better use of its Essential AI features. And if you have a Nothing phone with its glyph interface lighting, a new dedicated app pulls all the features and controls into one spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Lockscreen clockfaces can also use colors from your wallpaper now. There are also a couple of new lockscreen clockfaces in Nothing OS 5.0, including a bubbly \u201cGooey\u201d design and an information-dense \u201cMicrographics\u201d one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Since Nothing OS 5.0 is built on Android 17, it also includes platform updates like enhanced quick share, Android\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/928860\/google-please-leave-our-sassy-cat-alone\">new Noto 3D emojis<\/a>, and expanded dark theme support.
