The new phone of the British company is a mid -range wonder

The cameras are a 50 MP main lens with an image’s optical stabilization, an ultra 8 MP wide and a 50 MP telephoto lens and add up to a great photographic experience for this price. The standard strokes in good light come out bright and light and have a physical zoom means that you can get beautiful photos up to 5x if you have a firm hand.

I noticed that the standard and zoom objective often differs in the balance of color and exposure, which can be annoying and performance in low light conditions are soft. But I’m probably too critical here; It is an $ 600 phone with a dedicated zoom lens and which generally triggers large blows, so it is practically in a class -in -class class.

Around the front, the screen is also a punch on its weight. It is a large 6.77 -inch OLED with a 120Hz smooth refresher frequency, which supports HDR10+ and can become incredibly bright. If it has a weakness, it is that at higher brightness levels (let’s say, if you are out and the screen is increasing) the colors can become a little washed. But once again, in this price range, it is an excellent screen for streaming videos and games.

By the way, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 chip that feeds the 3A is a decent processor for the most general homework and games, but is about a year, so it is not particularly suitable for intensive AI in device or the latest 3D news. It is very efficient, ending almost every day with at least half of the battery on the left (unless I had played many games). There is no wireless charging, but Wired goes to a quick 50w if you have a fairly robust charging brick.

That basic price of $ 600 gives you a device with 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM. The amount of RAM (which is the memory that a device uses to contain the information with which it works actively) is not a specific one of the phone that we are very talking about, but they lead it here because the $ 690 version of the phone with 256 GB of storage increases the 12 GB RAM, theoretically making the fastest phone. Unless you need a lot of memory, the basic model should adapt to most users.

Nothing, it is light on artificial intelligence

The 3A performs a very clean version of Android 15, with only nothing and Google apps are pre -installed. If you want to rest for the latter, you can easily configure it as a standard Android similar to a pixel, but nothing has also provided many of its customization options, designed to reduce color and distractions. Together with the bleep and bleops of the old school of its system and notification sounds, it is a pleasantly similar vision to a tamagotchi on the smartphone.

I like big LCD-inclosed widgets one for the screen time that fills up while using your device, a daily calendar where you have to snatch the sheets and one that is right SnakeThe Ancient Phone Game-What could be used to create a simple main aa-granative screen. The covers of the folders are also intelligent, allowing you to organize apps without letting their family icons peek to attract you. You also have the opportunity to use Nothing Icon Pack, which automatically reduces all logos and makes them white, so your phone seems a little less similar to a casino.

Usually I am not joking with the icons on my screen, but I tried to go all-in on the Ethos of nothing here. At the beginning I found difficult because I think I unconsciously use the color of the icons to distinguish apps. But with my monochromatic apps ordered in areas based on the type, I think I used my phone much more intentionally. At least, I stopped opening apps as Reddit without a real reason, which I do all the time on other phones.

Elsewhere, Nothingos has some intelligent changes on Android Standard, including a drawer of the auto-closet apps similar to the Apple library, as well as alternatives to low fi to some Google apps such as time and recorder. Eccentric elements such as the personalized camera filter system, which is presented as a series of Polaroid and sample cards and experimental support for Apple AirPods, give a whole technical atmosphere for technology. But the largest swing is the essential space.

Practically, the only element explicitly based on the artificial intelligence of nothing, the essential space is presented as an early and unfinished feature. But there is a dedicated button under the power button, so I think it is right to treat it as a key part of the phone. The idea is to press the button when you want to remember something – tell it aloud or point the phone camera or make a screenshot – and the essential space takes care of the rest.

I used it widely for a few days and clearly needs work, but it is a solid idea. In cases where I had sent photos of real world objects, an essential space identified and correctly described all the images and I entered information from the web to provide more details on products and functionality.

The app will also analyze the text present in images and screens, as well as any text of text or voice that you leave when the captures, with the aim of understanding the context. This process can take some time, so I continued to capture and I didn’t check the space until the end of the day. At that point he had created a carousel of creative ideas at the top of the page based on what I had captured, which was Hit-and-Miss, and had transformed some notes into objects to do.

For example, Tuesday I pointed the camera on a package and I said: “Remember to send it tomorrow”, and the phone reminded me of 9 on Wednesday. I also sent an essential space a screenshot of an article on a next Livestream Nintendo, from which the date of April 2 has extracted and a future object to be made.

I discovered that the more I used the essential space, the more it is clutter and the more difficult it was to find a specific thing if the app did not put me. It would be nice if, when they captured an element, there was a quick categorization menu that I could use to help them.
