The original Nothing Phone 1, launched in July 2022, has already reached the end of its platform update lifecycle \u2014 Nothing promised three years of Android version updates and delivered on that. There\u2019s another year of security updates left for the device.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing CEO Carl Pei took to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/getpeid\/status\/1965730680194941079?t=ZaOR9ZHd-Ti1GKlLiwdXoA&amp;s=19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">X<\/a> to announce that the company is working on a \u201cprogram\u201d for Phone 1 users.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_0g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Nothing CEO Carl Pei promises a program for Nothing Phone 1 users\"  alt=\"Nothing CEO Carl Pei promises a program for Nothing Phone 1 users\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Nothing-CEO-Carl-Pei-promises-a-program-for-Nothing-Phone-1-users.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear what this means, but it sounds like the device could potentially receive an Android 16 update. Given the device\u2019s age and the fact that Nothing isn\u2019t obligated to provide any further stable platform updates, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this was more of a \u201cbeta\u201d or \u201cexperimental access\u201d update for enthusiasts only. There\u2019s also a fair possibility that this could be a trade-in or device upgrade program, perhaps offering Phone 1 users some extra discount to jump up to a newer Nothing or CMF phone.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, we will learn more about what\u2019s in store for Phone 1 users when the company finally releases the update.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
