Nothing has released the first Nothing OS 5.0 open beta for the Nothing Phone (3), based on Android 17. Users need to install the latest Nothing Beta Hub 2.0 app before joining the beta programme. After installation, open Settings, select System, then Nothing Beta Hub, check the version and choose Join Beta. Once registered, the Nothing OS 5.0 open beta should arrive as an over-the-air software update. Users can also manually check for the update through Settings, System and System updates. As the software is still in beta, bugs and other problems may occur. Users should back up important data before installing it. Nothing also allows users to return to the stable version through the Nothing Beta Hub. However, requesting a rollback will erase all data on the device.
