As one of Android’s partners with early access, Nothing is bringing Android 15 Beta 1 to the Nothing Phone 2a.

Nothing is one of the first @Android partners to offer early access to Android 15.

Users and developers with the device can experience the latest OS for app testing.

The company noted that the build includes Glyph SDK support, Nothing wallpapers and boot animation, and the Android 15 Beta 1 tag. This comes with all changes from the first beta already available for Google Pixel devices.

Beyond these, the pre-installed apps and customizations (e.g, Nothing X, Recorder, and Widgets) from Nothing are not accessible. However, these shouldn’t be an issue for developers.

Again, this build is not for average users who purchased the Nothing Phone (2a) for its unique customization features. Upgrading to this build is also straightforward, provided that users follow instructions.

As a forewarning, the beta is likely to be unstable, with bugs in the mix. Users who want to opt for the upgrade should consider backing up their data prior to making a decision.

Interestingly enough, they don’t seem to be offering the software for their flagship device—the Nothing Phone 2. This raises some eyebrows, as Android partners have the tendency to use flagship devices for the Developer Preview program.

If any readers want a stable Android 15 version on their device, you might want it to be officially released first. Nothing also needs some time to integrate this for Nothing OS, so we’ll keep you updated for any further news. But what do you guys feel about Android 15 Beta 1 coming to the Nothing Phone 2a?
