Nothing hasn’t published a final supported device list, but based on the beta rollout and Nothing’s update policy, the devices which are on the front foot to get it first are:

• Nothing Phone (3)
• Nothing Phone (3a)

After the Nothing Phone 3 series, these models are tipped to get the Nothing OS 4.0 update: 

• Nothing Phone (2)
• Nothing Phone (2a)
• Phone (2a) Plus
• CMF Phone 2 Pro and more CMF models with pending Android upgrades
• The newer Phone (3a) Lite is also expected to join soon.
