Android: Nothing publishes an Android version of its stock launcher

The Nothing Launcher has indeed made it onto the Google Play Store, just in time as its target release window of April 2022 is about to close. Then again, the app in question is still in beta. Furthermore, it does not consist of an awful lot of content at present: it offers just 1 custom wallpaper (the one alluded to in Carl Pei’s earlier keynote), as well as the promised dot-matrix clock and weather widgets.

For the first time in over a month, Carl Pei’s nascent OEM, Nothing, has launched something new. However, it’s little more than a new Google Play Store link to the company’s in-house Android skin’s own launcher. It might give customers of smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S22 or Google Pixel 6 a taste of what to anticipate out of the box if they switch to a new Nothing phone (1) in the future.

Apart from that, there is an icon pack to turn all of them into circles (far from unusual, in truth). Then again, an option to max an icon or folder’s size out to 3×3 on the homescreen, as opposed to the 1×1 default, is also baked in here. In addition, Nothing’s teenage engineering-derived design team has also released the first few system sounds it has developed for the phone (1).

They are fairly original in this case, although the first-gen notification tone is easy to miss, to be honest. The tones are accompanied by a few more wallpapers, at least. The OEM has announced that it is compatible with devices of the Samsung Galaxy S22 or S21 lines, or Pixels of the 5 series or newer, leaving others such as those of OnePlus waiting for now.
