Fresh customization: Smooth animations, enhanced widgets, and updated UI elements inspired by Android 16’s Material 3 design . After Phone 3’s update, older models like the Phone 2a and Phone 2 are expected to receive OS 4.0 in quick succession . Nothing is speeding up its software cycle, aiming to release the Android 16-based update before September ends, a marked acceleration compared to its previous Android 15 rollout .
