From what we could make from the slides, the first one showcases a revampedwidgets selectionmethod for the lock screen. You have what looks like awidget traywith a list of widgets to choose from. You will also have the ability to switch on and off aclock face. It also confirms that the OS will be able to choose betweendifferent clock faces.

The next slide confirms that Nothing OS 3.0 will let usersshrink the clock faceto make space for notifications. The clock face will be center-aligned and not on the left. Some clock faces are extremely reminiscent of one of Apple’s lock screen clock customizations.

The final slide might suggest that the widgets could get nicer animations, be more interactive, and look more lively. Nothing’s calling itInteractive Dot Animations.

If the stable Android 15 update schedule is anything to go by, we believe Nothing OS 3.0 could start rolling out in October or November this year.
