Nothing has been impressive with software rollouts so far. It was one of the first brands to conclude the Android 16 rollout, and now the company may already be working on the next major upgrade, based on Android 17. While most of the details are under wraps, we already know which Nothing phones are eligible for the Android 17 update.

The Android 17 update for Nothing phones will likely come with the Nothing OS 5.0 skin at the top, based on the company’s past naming scheme. Android 15 arrived with Nothing OS 3.0, and then Android 16 arrived last year with Nothing OS 4.0, so the next version, based on Android 17, is likely to come with Nothing OS 5.0.

Review the list of eligible devices for the Android 17 upgrade to see if yours is included.

Nothing Android 17 update: Eligible devices list

• Nothing Phone (4a)
• Nothing Phone (4a) Pro
• Nothing Phone (3)
• Nothing Phone (3a)
• Nothing Phone (3a) Lite
• Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
• Nothing Phone (2a)
• Nothing Phone (2a) Plus
• Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro

While this is still an unofficial list, it wouldn’t differ from the official one when announced. That’s because it’s based on the official software update policy. If your Nothing phone is on the list, it’s guaranteed to receive the Android 17 update when the rollout begins.

Only three phones are missing from the list: the original Nothing Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2), and the budget-friendly CMF Phone 1. They have already received the promised number of Android OS updates, and therefore have run out of OS updates.

If you’re still using an outdated Nothing phone, now might be the right time to upgrade to a newer model with longer software support. The Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro have just been released, promising OS updates until Android 19. Or, you can get the flagship Phone (3) for an extra major upgrade.

While Nothing hasn’t revealed anything about Android 17 yet, Google has already released a few public betas, offering a sneak peek at the upcoming features and changes. You can check them out on this page. The stable version is expected to go live for Google Pixels in June, while other brands, including Nothing, will take additional time to fine-tune the software and add more features. For Nothing phones, we can expect the Android 17 rollout to kick off in Q4 2026.
