The Phone (3a) Series delivers an enhanced all-around experience, featuring a

significantly upgraded camera system with optical zoom, boosted performance, a

refined design, and Nothing OS innovations, including Essential Space.

 

 

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 5 March 2025 - Nothing today introduced the Phone (3a) Series in Mobile World Congress (MWC), elevating its mid-range lineup with advanced features. Building on the acclaimed Phone (2a), it boasts an advanced triple-camera system with optical zoom, a powerful Snapdragon® processor, a brighter, more responsive display, and Nothing OS innovations like Essential Space—all wrapped in two uniquely refined designs.

 

Design

Both the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro feature a more sophisticated look and feel, with

upgraded glass back panels, enhanced symmetry in the internal structure, and refined visual

details and elements throughout the finish. The design celebrates each new camera system

through Nothing’s trademark exposed aesthetic and cutting-edge engineering, while

meticulously optimising the integration of advanced hardware. The Phone (3a) Series also

upgrades its durability to an IP64 rating and achieves Nothing’s lowest carbon footprint on a

smartphone to date, with 51.3kg of CO2e.

 

 

 

 

 

Camera

The Nothing Phone (3a) Series introduces Nothing’s most advanced camera system to date,

featuring an upgraded 50MP main sensor and a Sony ultra-wide sensor, along with optical zoom

 

for the first time. All powered by TrueLens Engine 3.0 combining advanced computational

algorithms, AI processing, and multi-frame technology to deliver professional-grade, true-to-life photography.

 

Phone (3a) telephoto camera

Ready to pull you closer to your subject, Phone (3a)’s telephoto camera features a powerful

50MP sensor combined with a fast f/2.0 aperture for detailed shots at its 50mm equivalent focal length. The 2x optical reach lays the foundation for a quality zoom, while the high resolution enables up to 4x lossless in-sensor zoom. When you need to zoom in even further, the Phone (3a) harnesses AI clarity-enhancing algorithms for 30x ultra zoom.

Phone (3a) Pro periscope camera

Flagship telephoto zoom meets ultimate versatility with Phone (3a) Pro’s powerful periscope

zoom. A total upgrade in hardware, it combines a large 1/1.95-inch Sony LYTIA 600 sensor with a 70mm equivalent focal length and a fast f/2.55 aperture. All this translates to excellent zoom and much more. With optical image stabilisation, Phone (3a) Pro’s periscope camera can capture quality photos across lighting conditions, whether indoors or at night, while the optical 3x zoom is a photographer-favourite, portrait-perfect focal length. The high-resolution 50MP sensor delivers lossless in-sensor zooming at up to 6x and when

boosted with AI clarity-enhancing algorithms, it unlocks 60x ultra zoom. Where Phone (3a) Pro surpasses even flagship smartphones is its telemacro capture. Able to focus as close as 15cm from a subject, it breaks through periscope limitations that hold back flagship phones.

 

Main camera

The Phone (3a) features a 50MP main sensor co-engineered with Samsung, integrating

on-sensor deep learning processing software algorithms trained on millions of photography

scenarios to enhance image clarity, reduce noise, and provide true-to-life accuracy.

The Phone (3a) Pro’s 50MP main sensor further elevates the experience with advanced sensor technologies, offering 43% faster auto-focus and double the pixel full well capacity, allowing for more detail in harsh lighting conditions. Zooming out, the Phone (3a) Series' ultra-wide camera boasts a 120o field of view, enabling you to capture more in each frame, while the upgraded Sony sensor enhances low-light performance.

 

Front camera

Finally, the Phone (3a) boasts a 32MP front camera, while the Phone (3a) Pro features an

upgraded 50MP front camera capable of recording high-quality 4K videos with adaptive AI

stabilization and night video enhancement, improving brightness by +74.4% and reducing noise by 33.7%.

 

Performance

The Snapdragon® 7s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, with breakthrough performance powering select

Snapdragon experiences and turbo-charged by Nothing OS optimisations, is on hand to cut

down on waiting and level up living. Phone (3a) Series also games faster, delivers more stable frame rates, and goes for longer, thanks to the powerful Snapdragon processor. Getting into some numbers, the CPU is up to 33% faster than Phone (2a), while the Qualcomm® AdrenoTM GPU delivers 11% better graphics. Plus, you get select Snapdragon Elite GamingTM features typically reserved for flagship devices.

 

Phone (3a) Series is 92% better at processing AI tasks than Phone (2a), making it more

future-proofed for whatever AI developments are on the horizon. It also takes full advantage of Nothing OS and Essential Space, saving you time with things like on-device voice to text

Transcription. RAM Booster uses a combination of physical and virtual RAM to allow users to access up to 20GB, plus a larger 4,500 mm2 vapor chamber reduces temperature by 23% vs. Phone (2a).

 

Battery and Charging

Phone (3a) Series also lasts longer. With the optimised Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 mobile platform

using 8% less power for typical tasks, enjoy 30 minutes more power

every day. Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro both have large 5000mAh batteries, delivering up to two days of use on a full charge. With upgraded fast charging now at 50W, Phone (3a) Series delivers a full day’s power (50%) in under 20 minutes.

 

Display

Balancing size and quality, Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro’s displays are immersive and

brilliant. At 6.77 inches, their flagship size means on-screen content has room to breathe.

Slightly taller and with less rounded corners than past Nothing phones, Phone (3a) Series’

displays represent a maturity and confidence befitting of a second-generation device.

At Full HD+ resolution, visuals look crisp with 387 pixels in every inch of screen, and with a fluid 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The standard touch sampling rate is 480Hz, a 100% increase from Phone (2a), and 1000Hz touch sampling rate when in Gaming Mode, swiping through Phone (3a) Series is smooth, and responsive.

Fire up auto brightness and your Phone (3a) climbs up to 1300 nits all by itself, making it

viewable under a scorching sun. But peak brightness now reaches 3000 nits, a 131% increase from Phone (2a).

 

Nothing OS

Nothing OS 3.1 is a fast, smooth foundation tuned for stability, utility and customisation, built

with Android 15 at its core - there have also been updates to the Nothing Gallery, Camera and

 

Weather apps. Phone (3a) Series peels back a new level of personalisation. Dial distraction

back with a monochromatic theme, hide app labels to clean up your home screen, customise

the lock screen and quick settings so everything you need is at your fingertips, and you can

even shake up your apps. Phone (3a) Pro also supports eSIM (excluding India).

Phone (3a) Series will get updates for 6 years starting from when the device first became

available on nothing.tech. This includes three years of Android updates and six years of security updates in addition to corrective and functionality updates.

 

Essential Space (early access)

Essential Space is a new, AI-powered hub for notes, ideas, and inspirations. Taking the friction out of logging and recalling content, it can capture, process and remember - just like a second memory.

To make sure Essential Space is always a click away, Nothing created the Essential Key. Easy for a thumb to find and press, it’s on the right side of Phone (3a) Series. Press the 

Essential Key to capture and send content to Essential Space, long-press to record a voice note, and double-tap to head straight to all your saved content. Nothing is made better by its community, and so too is Essential Space. That’s why Essential Space Early Access will be available to all customers who purchase a Phone (3a) or Phone (3a) Pro. Early Access will open the doors to the full Essential Space experience, including upcoming features set for launch in the coming months such as Camera Capture, Smart

Collections, Focused Search and Flip to Record.

[World Sleep Day] Recovering From Daylight Savings May Take More Than Three Weeks, Youngest Hit Hardest

Rashad Iskandrni

 

Samsung Health App Updates Help You Optimize Your Sleep Environment, Offering Holistic Health Insights for a More Balanced Life

 

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Mar. 11, 2025 –  Do you find yourself feeling more tired once the clocks spring forward for Daylight Savings Time (DST)? Well, you’re not alone. Although losing an hour the night of DST may seem insignificant, examining the sleep patterns of global Samsung Health users[1] from the US, Canada and more than 40 European countries reveals a ripple effect that causes weeks-long disruptions to sleep patterns, hitting younger age groups the hardest. 

 

DST Takes a Toll on Sleep, With Younger Generations Most Disrupted

 

When looking into how much of an impact DST has on people the morning after, one thing is clear, everyone’s sleep patterns are thrown off. In fact, people spent a little too much time counting sheep the night of the time change, falling asleep 33 minutes later than the previous night, waking up 19 minutes earlier. While losing sleep isn’t easy at any age, those in their 20s likely felt it the most thanks to an extremely late bedtime and a seeming inability to sleep in.

 

Moreover, Sleep Score – calculated based on an evaluation of a users’ total sleep time, awake time, sleep cycle, plus physical and mental recovery – was at the worst level for weeks after DST – and again, people in their 20s appeared to be most affected. When examining in the seven-day Sleep Score average, the 20s age group demonstrated the slowest score recovery rate, while older age groups adapted much quicker. By the third week, Sleep Score for all age groups were still not stable as normal, showing fluctuations in the quality of a good night’s rest.

 

Useful Tips To Help You Get a Good Night’s Sleep and a Quicker Recovery

 

The transition into DST clearly affects the sleep patterns of all age groups long after the clocks change, but for younger generations, prioritizing sleep management during this time couldn’t be more important. In recognition of World Sleep Day, Samsung is sharing useful tips that make understanding your sleep patterns and habits as seamless and effortless as possible for a better night’s rest.

  • Creating an ideal sleep environment is critical to a good night’s sleep. Later this month, Samsung Health app update[2] will make this possible by providing guidance and analysis on the key factors that influence sleep quality, including temperature, humidity, CO2 and illuminance via a Sleep Environment Report[3] – leveraging SmartThings and the power of Samsung’s extensive device ecosystem. With a better understanding of how your environment affects sleep, easily optimize your room conditions for an improved night’s rest.

 

  • In addition to perfecting your sleep environment, understanding how activity can impact energy level is key. Samsung Health app updates also bring enhancements to Energy Score[4], which provides an indicator of how much energy users can expend throughout the day. In addition to sleep and heart rate, a new detailed factor about activity – Activity Consistency – will help you understand your overall condition in greater detail by evaluating your activity levels over the past four weeks.

 

  • It’s also important to understanding how you’re sleeping and making necessary adjustments through sleep training. Sleep Coaching makes this simple by seamlessly tracking your sleep patterns over 7 days and assigning a sleep animal based on the results. With a personalized coaching program, develop healthy habits and routines that set you on a positive path to achieving your sleep goals.

 

World Sleep Day serves as an important reminder of the importance of sleep. With the latest Samsung Health app updates and the Galaxy ecosystem, Samsung remains committed to helping users optimize their sleep and lead healthier, more balanced life.

The World's First Tri-Fold Smartphone Is as Vast as a Tablet: But Does Bigger Actually Mean Better?

Rashad Iskandrni

 

 

Alriyadh, 11 March 2025: A single smartphone screen just doesn’t cut it anymore. Our digital lives demand more, and juggling multiple devices isn’t practical, especially in a world where mobile and remote work is now the norm. Huawei’s recent and the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, officially called the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, has broken barriers in foldable design and technology, bringing a screen experience like no other and addressing this growing gap in the market. It has emerged as one of the best foldable releases of the decade. With three screens, it expands the possibilities of smartphone interactions and multitasking. 

 

Here’s how you can get the most out of its tri-fold display.

 

 

Triples Visual Immersion

It's obvious why the HUAWEI Mate XT is special. Unfold it, and your smartphone transforms into a full-sized tablet. It allows you to carry a large-screen immersive display right in your pocket. With three times the screen real estate and the world’s first 3K Hi-Res HUAWEI X-True Display on the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, you can enjoy every visual detail of a game, graphic novel, or movie on a larger display anytime and anywhere.

 

The best part is that the smartphone’s slim-thin build makes it convenient to hold in your palms while you’re on the move. At the time of its release, the HUAWEI Mate XT is both the thinnest foldable and the largest commercially available foldable smartphone on the market, at just 3.6 mm thin and 10.2 inches wide when unfolded. 

 

 

Master the Task with More Display Modes

Working on the move can feel chaotic, especially f you’re bouncing between apps and splitting your focus between different apps.  With HUAWEI Mate XT, the split screen experience allows you to accomplish more in an instant. Need to jot down notes while reading a book? Split-screen mode lets you run both apps side by side, no toggling required.

 

For a wider display configuration, users can activate triple-screen mode to get three views of three different apps. Especially when working on complex tasks, we often need multiple apps to accomplish them. You’ve got an airline app open on one screen, a browser for research on another, and a video call with friends on the third to hash out details. Or maybe you’re creating social media content. With the Mate XT, you can edit a video, browse for inspiration, and draft a caption, all at once. With three apps running simultaneously, complex tasks feel effortless.

More Screens, More Flexibility

Thanks to its Advanced Precision Hinge System, HUAWEI Mate XT’s trifold display is also the first in the industry to achieve inward and outward folding. This means you can not only use your smartphone as an extended display but also transform it into a real-life tool.  Flip it outward, and the second screen becomes a built-in stand perfect for watching shows hands-free while you eat lunch. Or fold it into a mini tripod for your camera, with one side acting as a viewfinder and the other handling the controls. It’s clever, practical, and feels like a natural extension of the device.

 

HUAWEI Mate XT represents a new breed of multitasking smartphones altogether, accomplishing the “impossibility” of a lightweight, large and powerful smartphone.
