The Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro are set to go on sale around a week after being launched in India, and have received a set of updates to simplify the existing UI and improve the quality of photos shot on the phones’ camera.
In a Nothing community forum, some newly listed updates included enhanced Essential Key interaction with short/long press options, Essential Space widgets, a new homepage and detail page, an ‘upcoming’ section for task management, and smart insights in the system language.

The Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) whether it would fulfil the poll promise of providing free LPG cylinders to women on Holi. Hitting back, the ruling party asked AAP why had it not kept its word on disbursing ₹1,000 to women for which it had allocated ₹2,000 crore in the 2024-25 budget. Meanwhile, Delhi government sources said officials are preparing a blueprint of the proposal and that the criteria for the beneficiaries is yet to be decided. The BJP had promised to provide LPG cylinders for ₹500 to women from poor families and one free cylinder each on Holi and Deepavali ahead of the February 5 Assembly election.
