Nothing 3a and 3a Pro Software Update
It is important to note that this update is being rolled out for both the the 3a Pro and the 3a. According to Nothing’s changelog, as part of the update, you get an updated Essential Key interaction, which lets you quickly press to save whatever is on your screen and then add it to your notes. You can also long-press to instantly record voice notes while surfing. There are also added Essential Space widgets, allowing you to view your content directly on the home screen or the lock screen. There is also a new ‘Upcoming’ section.
Coming to the camera upgrades, Nothing has introduced camera presets, which let you quickly choose optimal settings for different scenes. Plus, you can also share and import presets, so that you can exchange your camera settings with other people, similar to how recipes work on Fuji cameras. You can also import Cube files to use as custom filters.
Nothing also says the overall camera performance and photo quality have been improved, and there is now better clarity in macro mode for better close-up shots. The portrait mode is better too, with improved background blur and more accuracy.
Of course, Nothing says there are stability and performance updates across the board.
Other Upgrades
Some of the other upgrades you can expect as part of this OTA update, which will be available when you unbox the phone, include AI-powered face and scene classification in the Nothing Gallery, UI and interaction improvements in the Nothing Gallery, and a new power-off password verification feature, which you can turn on in settings.
Nothing says that various bugs have also been addressed, making for a much smoother experience.
