Nothing has officially lifted the lid on Phone (3) at today’s "Come to Play" showcase, confirming months of teasers with a spec sheet that finally pushes the brand's hardware into true photography-flagship territory. But does the Phone (3)'s move to a trio of top 50MP sensors mean it can finally play with the top Pixels and Galaxies?
The most exciting new addition is the periscope lens, which boasts a 3x optical reach, 6x lossless zoom, and AI-assisted digital zoom capabilities extending up to 60x – all with optical image stabilization (OIS). Using a 50MP 1/2.75” sensor with an f/2.68 aperture, the telephoto also takes on macro duties, which is a much better solution than the unflattering perspective of ultra-wide macro cameras. The Nothing (3) telephoto also manages to improve on the Nothing 3(a) Pro with a close focus of just 10cm.
