Another Nothing Phone can now download the Android 15 beta

By Christine Romero-Chan Published December 12, 2024

Nothing has been running an open beta of Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.0 for several of its devices, including the Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, and CMF Phone 1. But now, if you have a Nothing Phone 2a Plus, you can also get the Android 15 beta.

The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is a bit of a weird phone. It’s another phone in the trend of manufacturers releasing something that is “new-but-not-really,” because the Nothing Phone 2a Plus is mostly the same as the Nothing Phone 2a, but with a slight bump in specs.

If you’re having a hard time figuring out the differences between the two, basically the Phone 2a Plus has a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro chip instead of the Dimensity 7200 Pro in the Phone 2a, only comes with 256GB of storage, with no option for 128GB, and has a 50MP selfie camera instead of 32MP. Again, very marginal spec differences, as everything else is pretty much the same.

But if you had the Nothing Phone 2a Plus, well, now you can finally check out the Android 15 beta too, along with users of the Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, and CMF Phone 1.

The Android 15 beta with Nothing OS 3.0 is now available as of December 12, 2024. It features the same change log and install method as the other previously mentioned devices. Basically, you will have to download an APK and follow the instructions provided from Nothing to get it on your Nothing Phone 2a Plus. If you find out that the beta isn’t your thing, then yes, there is a rollback method to get back on a stable Android 14 build.

As of now, the only Nothing device that has yet to receive the Android 15 beta update is Nothing Phone 1.

Here’s the full change log:
