The first update is Camera Capture. Essential Key now works in the Nothing Camera app, capturing real-world content directly with a short press to add notes or a long press for voice input. This will mean that users can separate quality photos in the Nothing Gallery app from photo reminders in Essential Space.

Essential Space is Nothing’s 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.

Essential Space is available to all customers who purchase a Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro and is continuing to evolve. Upcoming features set for launch in the coming months include: Smart Collections, Focused Search and Flip to Record.

“AI is just one part of the Essential Space recipe. At Nothing we feel like AI has become a buzzword for brands and we want to offer something meaningful to users. Essential Space acts like a second memory. Helping users declutter their lives and not have to jump from app to app.” said Rishi Kishor Gupta, Regional Director: Middle East & Africa for Nothing.

As part of the Nothing OS 3.1 update, there are also enhancements to the camera and Always On Display.

Users can update via Settings > System > System Updates. This will be a staggered roll out to Phone (3a) Series users.

The Nothing Phone (3a) series is now available to purchase via key retail partners across the GCC. In Saudi Arabia, the Nothing Phone (3a)’s 8GB + 128GB variant will be available for SAR 999 as an exclusive with Jarir Bookstore offering budget-conscious customers a great option that won't have them compromising on quality. Both phones will be available across various retailers in the Kingdom including, Amazon, Extra, Jarir Bookstore, Lulu Hypermarket, Noon, Sharaf DG and Zain.
