Nothing has begun rolling out Nothing OS V3.5 (build V3.5-250911-2112) to the Phone (3), bringing camera upgrades, battery optimisation and a raft of fixes.

The release is arriving via a staged rollout, which the company says helps monitor issues and ensure stability.

Highlights include smoother, more precise manual exposure control, a fix for colour tints in some scenes, and an updated AI SuperRes Zoom that sharpens text.

Action Mode noise has been reduced, third-party app camera clarity has been improved, and videos now show better contrast with less haze.

Beyond the camera, the update optimises battery consumption and reduces heating in certain scenarios, improves Wi-Fi and overall system stability, and polishes UI elements (including Glyph Matrix behaviour in multi-user mode, Arabic title alignment, and a refreshed Bluetooth device recording interface).

As with prior Nothing releases, users may notice temporary heat and higher power draw during installation.

In Australia, the Nothing Phone (3) is available from $1,509 AUD (12GB/256GB) or $1,689 AUD (16GB/512GB) through local retailers and carriers.

How to update: Go to Settings → System → System update and follow on-screen prompts; availability may vary by region while the staged rollout completes.
