Like Nothing Phone (4a), this phone also works on Nothing OS 4.1 based on Android 16, which will give the experience of near stock Android. While setting up the phone, you will have the option to choose either Nothing or Google UI. If you want to use this phone on actual Google UI, then you will get icons etc. in the phone like a normal Android phone. Whereas, if you want to use Nothing’s UI, then you can select Nothing’s OS.
I have selected Nothing OS in this phone, which is quite unique.
