    Nothing OS 3.5 Review: Clean, Fast, and Smarter Than Ever

    Date: Jul 23 2025

    Summary: Nothing OS 3.5 brings a sleek, refined Android experience to the Nothing Phone (3). With a minimalist design, smoother animations, and enhanced customization options, it strikes a perfect balance between style and speed. New features like upgraded widgets, smart shortcuts, and improved battery optimization make the OS feel more intelligent and user-focused. It's lightweight, bloat-free, and uniquely Nothing — a solid upgrade for fans of clean Android interfaces. source: faxty.com

    Positive: Minimalist & Clean UI
    A clutter-free, visually striking interface that stays true to the brand’s dot-matrix aesthetic.

    Smooth Performance
    Optimized animations and lightweight design make for a fast and fluid user experience.

    Bloatware-Free
    Almost no unnecessary pre-installed apps, giving users more control over their device.

    Glyph Interface Integration
    Smart use of Glyph lighting features for notifications, charging, and app interactions.

    Custom Widgets & Shortcuts
    Improved home screen customization with functional and stylish widgets.

    Regular Software Updates
    Nothing has been consistent with updates, improving stability and adding features.

    Negative: Limited Advanced Features
    Compared to skins like One UI or OxygenOS, it lacks some power-user tools and deep customizations.

    Occasional Bugs
    Minor glitches or UI hiccups can still appear, especially right after updates.

    Small Ecosystem
    Works best with other Nothing devices; third-party integration is still growing.

    No Major AI Features (Yet)
    While clean, it doesn’t offer AI-powered features like some newer Android skins.
