The highly awaited Nothing OS 3.0 Open Beta, based on Android 15, is now available for the CMF Phone 1. This upgrade, which debuted on the Phone (2) and Phone (2a), allows CMF Phone 1 customers to preview Android 15 features before the stable version. Let’s look at the specifics of this fantastic development and what it means for users.
How to Install
If you’re excited to try the beta, here’s what you should know:
Prerequisites: Make sure your CMF Phone 1 is running Nothing OS 2.6, with build numbers Tetris-U2.6-241021-2030 or Tetris-U2.6-241125-2107.
Downloading the beta: The APK file for the open beta is accessible on the Nothing community forums.
Installation Steps: Download the APK, place it in your phone’s Downloads folder, and install it. Next, go to Settings > System > Update to begin the beta installation.
However, continue with caution! Nothing warns users to back up their data, since the beta version may cause data loss and necessitate a factory reset. Furthermore, once you’ve upgraded to the beta, there’s no way to go back to the stable version right away, but the business promises a rollback package later.
Should you update
If your CMF Phone 1 is your everyday driver, it may be more prudent to wait for the official stable release rather than chance potential problems with the beta version. After all, your data and proper device performance are at stake.
