Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro: Rollout details
Nothing OS 3.1 for Nothing Phone (3a) series is now rolling to all users. The firmware rollout is staggered, meaning not all users will receive it simultaneously.

Essential Space improvements
The update refines the Essential Key interaction, allowing a quick press to save content or take notes and a long press to record voice notes. New widgets now let users view Essential Space content directly on the home screen or lock screen. The homepage and detail page have been redesigned for a better user experience, and an ‘Upcoming’ section has been added for task management. Smart Insight now supports the system’s language.
Camera enhancements
Nothing OS 3.1 introduces Camera Presets, enabling quick access to optimized settings for different scenes. Users can now share and import Presets, along with cube files, to apply custom filters. The update enhances photo quality, improves macro mode clarity, and refines portrait mode for better background blur. The camera app has also been optimized for stability and performance.
Other improvements
The Nothing Gallery now features AI-powered face and scene classification, improving content organization. The update also refines user interaction in the gallery for a smoother experience.
