The Nothing launcher gives us a preview of the Nothing OS that will run on Nothing Phone 1. So far, overall, the Nothing launcher seems to be pretty good. It has three cool new widgets — analogue clock, digital clock and weather widgets. Personally, the widgets look really cool and beautiful. You can also maximize the size of any app icon or folder, which you can then add to your home screen.
This, however, is just a preview of Nothing OS. So we can expect more features in the actual Nothing OS which will ship with Nothing Phone 1.
