Nothing has announced the availability of Android 15 previews in the form of the Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta for its Phone (2a) Plus and its original Phone (1). This update brings new system animations and features like Shared Widgets, though users should be aware of the associated risks.
Android 15 Beta for Phone (2a) Plus and (1)
Following the release of the Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta for the CMF Phone 1, the same update is now available for the Phone (2a) Plus (currently priced at $409.50 with 12GB of RAM on Amazon). The Dimensity 7350-powered Phone (2a) Plus and the original Phone (1) now have access to this first taste of Android 15.
The Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta for both phones shares the same changelog as the CMF Phone 1 beta, introducing new charging and lockscreen animations as well as cross-device Shared Widgets and improved Camera Widget functionality.
Beta Risks and Rollback
Nothing has cautioned that the Open Beta program for all three phones comes with increased chances of instability and data loss. Although both the Phone (1) and (2a) Plus versions have the option to roll back to Android 14, doing so is not recommended at this time due to the risk of unforseen errors and data loss during the process.
