Emblematic design mobiles, good photograph and great experience without costing a kidney

Nothing presented its new smartphones, the new telephone family (3A). Unlike last year, when the phone (2nd) launched the phone for the first time (2A) plus, this time, the company based in London – and with Europe as one of its most important markets in Europe – increased level: The phone (3a) and the (3a) Pro telephone arrive.

This family of smartphones is called to be a supervent for its ambitious proposal for specifications, user experience with a unique system and with The challenge of being that of relief to (2nd), the brand's best -selling smartphone with more than a million units.

The success of this mobile in the management community is due to the fact that it is a different bet for the rest of the brands of this price range. As the company's co-founder explains, David Sanmartín in El Español-Omicrono, is not cut off from other models to adapt to the price, but each phone is configured from zero thinking of having devices that deserve the penalty for themselves and which correspond to the four pillars of nothing: Adjusted price, with good design, great performance and which are emblematic.

The realization of these maxims arrives the phone (3A) and the telephone (3a) pro, two smartphones which They wear experience nothing further With a better design, a more ambitious camera that carries a periscopic zoom towards the intermediate average, and presents the help of artificial intelligence in models that are not high.

They also do it at very tight prices, because everyone Part of the 329 and 459 dollars. In Spanish – Free Android, we spent last week with them to try first – how experience and how far they are able to arrive.

A periscopic camera

The biggest statement and the differential element of the new phone (3A) is the configuration of the room. On this occasion, they have a set of three main objectives, but it is the pro model which makes a considerably larger jump to become the reference smartphone of its range to Opt for a periscopic roomSomething in common in the environment.

More specifically, the (3a) Pro telephone offers the telephoto lens experience that we could expect from a flagship device to a smartphone at a considerably lower price. With him, we will have an incredible versatility of shooting that moves easily in all situations. More specifically, it is a Sony Lytia 600 sensor of 1/1.95 inches, A focal distance equivalent to 70 mm and an opening of f / 2.55.

It has a 50 megapixel sensor which allows a lossless zoom up to 6x, once this figure has reached equivalent to 140 mmis based on artificial intelligence algorithms to improve sharpness and reach 60x digital. This room also has an image optical stabilization, essential for offering crops in unfavorable light conditions.

The truth is that this optical zoom is not only a resolution over long distances, but we will end up using it more to carry out more precise and natural frames, photography Portrait and macro included, Because it allows us to concentrate objects just 15 cm from distance.

The phone (3a) for its part opts for a telephoto lens, also with a 50 megapixel sensor, but without periscopic construction. More specifically we will have A 2x optical zoom, equivalent to 50 mm, With a digital stretch without loss up to 4x. In the tests carried out, this lens is precise and resolved, with a large balance of colors and allows the user to have one more tool during the immortalization of moments.

Regarding the master bedroom, The two models have set up a 50 megapixel sensorBut he also has the differences. The (3A) is developed in collaboration with Samsung with specific algorithms in the clarity of the image, the reduction in noise and a coloring faithful to reality. While that of (3a) Pro has an improved sensor with an automatic approach 43% more quickly and a capacity to collect light in double, which allows to obtain more details even in unfavorable lighting conditions. Of course, the two models share the wide angle with an angle of 120º which captures more light because it is 75% larger than the previous generation.

An interesting detail of the phone (3a) Pro is its front camera, which has increased considerably. While the (3a) opts for a 32 megapixel sensor, the older brother leaves up to 50 megapixels for Save 4K video With an adaptive stabilization system based on artificial intelligence. Ideal for using it with social networks.

An emblematic design

Although the periscopic camera is one of the major claims of the pro model, it was also one of the biggest challenges for the company design team: how Integrate a huge circular module without losing this emblematic touch that gives all its phones. An order of confrontation, which is well resolved and with which he manages to differentiate himself from other clonic smartphones in the sector.

Nohing explains that for this model, they were inspired by Japanese icononography, in the industrial design of the 60s and 70s, as well as in certain toys that have marked generations. A mixture with the transparent design left by the circuit in sight, transparent surfaces and Your glyph light interface This is betting on the same structure of last year but with a cleaner design.

The truth is that despite its large dimensions, 6.77 inch screen, It is a comfortable and ergonomic smartphone. In addition, even if it is oriented towards the middle of management, does not give the feeling of being cheap and seems much more premium than it costs. It is made with a recycled glass and aluminum rear, all with IP64 resistance.

The phone (3a), which shares materials and resistance, Less risk in design And maintains the appearance of (2A) with the only exception to add the third horizontal lens. In one of the cases, we have a striking design that defines what these phones aspire: mark an era.

Both, in addition to sharing the 6.77 -inch screen size, they also share the panel, with which they offer a good experience between size and quality to be filled as one of the best range options. More specifically, he has Complete HD + resolution120 Hz adaptive soda rate and 480 Hz touch sampling tactile – double this phone (2A) – think of the game, although with the game mode reaches the response of 1000 Hz, explains the company.

Lo más llamativo de la pantalla con respecto a la generación anterior es el brillo de la pantalla, que con el ajuste automático activado alcanza hasta 1.300 nits, lo que permite una buena visibilidad incluso bajo luz solar intensa. Además, su brillo máximo llega a 3.000 nits, un 131% más que el Phone (2a).

Essential Space, enfoque de la IA

Los Phone (3a) son los primeros smartphones de la compañía en abrazar la inteligencia artificial a lo grande. Hasta ahora, Nothing ha sido abanderada del uso de la IA como complemento pudiendo usar plataformas como ChatGPT en sus móviles o auriculares de una forma más fluida, sin embargo, con estos dos teléfonos llega Essential Space, una forma de tener la vida diaria actualizada. 

Se trata de un nuevo espacio impulsado por IA, que busca que el usuario pueda organizar fácilmente notas o ideas de forma sencilla. Una suerte de agenda inteligente que permite acabar con la fricción que pueden generar ciertas aplicaciones de organización que muchas veces pierden el sentido por el desorden de las mismas. Aquí Nothing quiere que el usuario recupere el contenido y funcione como una memoria digital secundaria.

Para facilitar su acceso, ambos teléfonos disponen de un nuevo botón en el lateral derecho de ambos smartphones, denominado Essential Key, que según como se pulse, el usuario podrá grabar notas, hacer capturas o acceder al contenido. Aún así, la compañía ha explicado que irán agregando funciones de IA al sistema como herramientas de captura de cámara, colecciones inteligentes, grabación rápida o transcripción de notas.

Esta IA se integra dentro de Nothing OS 3.1, la particular capa de personalización de Android 15 que identifica a la compañía londinense. Además de ser más estable, optimizada y personalizable para tener una interfaz más limpia y con menos distracciones gracias a un modo monocromático, ocultar los nombres de las appso tener ajustes rápidos para un acceso más eficiente. Asimismo esta versión incluye mejoras en las aplicaciones de galería, cámara y tiempo.

Para hacer que el sistema se mueva fluido y con rapidez equipan el procesador Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 de Qualcomm, un cambio considerable con respecto a la generación anterior. Este chip no sólo optimiza el rendimiento sino que también dispara sus capacidades de IA siéndonosla hasta un 92% más ágil que la generación anterior.
Lo cierto es que la experiencia general del uso de ambos terminales es muy avanzada y va más allá de lo que podríamos entender de un gama media, es potente y capaz, algo a lo que ayuda la memoria RAM de hasta 12 GB en ambos casos. Este rendimiento está pensado para durar, incluyendo tres años de actualizaciones de Android y seis años de actualizaciones de seguridad.

Con respecto a la autonomía, su mayor tamaño le ha permitido a Nothing super la capacidad llegando a los 5.000 mAh, con lo que podemos pasar el día dándole un uso intenso de sobra. Si somos un poco más conservadores en uso, podremos encadenar el par de días. En cualquier caso, dispone de carga rápida de 50W que carga el 50% de batería en unos 20 minutos.

¿Me lo compro?

Con los Phone (3a) Nothing ha vuelto a conseguir una propuesta redonda que ofrece algo único en el mercado. Un teléfono de precio ajustado, con gran rendimiento, pero al mismo tiempo con un diseño icónico y un buen desempeño de cámara, que además sube de nivel con el empleo de la cámara periscópica.

El que tiene alma de superventas es el Phone (3a) demostrando que no hace falta irse más allá de los 380 dollars para tener una experiencia de alto nivel con un teléfono con personalidad. Sin embargo la versión Pro es para aquellos que quieran ir un paso todavía más lejos e incorporar el teleobjetivo periscópico en su día a día, pudiéndole sacar jugo en retratos.

Por poner un lunar a estos modelos, habría sido una buena noticia para todos que dispusiesen de mayor almacenamiento. Los 128 GB de partida del Phone (3a) se pueden quedar cortos en determinados casos e igualmente en el modelo Pro habría estado bien poder optar a los 512 GB. Aún así se entiende la decisión para ajustar precios.
En suma, los Phone (3a) son dos teléfonos altamente recomendables que ofrecen algo único en el mercado: un gama media capaz, sin extras innecesarios y con la personalidad de un móvil único.
