Nothing is hard at work putting the final touches on its upcoming major product, the Phone (3), which will be available in the United States outside of the company’s beta program.
Until then, Nothing’s latest mid-range devices, the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro, are getting some love. The UK-based company recently released a new update that brings massive improvements to the phones’ cameras. It also refreshes the visual design of Nothing X.
The most important change included in the update is the new ability to record 4K videos not only with the main camera but also with the telephoto/periscope camera too.
In order to start recording 4K footage with the telephoto/periscope camera, Phone (3a) series users must open the camera app and select the appropriate option. When zooming to 2x, Phone (3a) will switch to the telephoto camera to continue recording in 4K. Meanwhile, at 3x zoom, Phone (3a) Pro will transition to the periscope camera to record in 4K.
Besides that, the update introduced several other camera improvements:
Clearer selfies with improved face details and natural colours.
Enhanced image quality when capturing scenes under streetlights at night.
Filters are now available on high-resolution (50 MP) images.
Improved brightness and reduced flicker in telephoto low-light conditions
Reduced flickering in slow-motion videos.
Stabilized colors when using telephoto zoom.
As mentioned earlier, Nothing X received some visual changes too that are supposed to make the U more immersive and intuitive at the same time. Keep in mind that Nothing X must be updated via the Google Play Store.
